you can turn it off during water breaks.

raise your hand if you have questions and clarifications.

which will be followed by the Philippine National Anthem, LNU Vision, Mission, Quality Policy, and
LNU Hymn.

------Welcome Remarks------

MC1: Thank you, ma’am! That was an inspiring and motivating message for everyone who are here in
this event and will be uncovering another magical surprise in their lives. But before we proceed to the
highlight of this activity, magkakaroon muna tayo ng Icebreaker. Syempre, alam kong maliban sa excited
tayo sa mga bagong kaalaman na matutunan natin, excited din tayo sa mga nagbabagsakang pa-premyo!
Ihanda ang mga sarili dahil mapapasabak tayo sa oras na ito. So without further ado, let us call in Mr.
Joshua Castil to facilitate our game.

------Icebreaker------
MC2: Thank you so much for actively participating! Sana napasaya naming kayo sa munti naming mga
pa-premyo. At sa mga hindi pinalad, huwag kayong mag-alala, makakabawi pa rin kayo. And now let me
present to you the learning outcomes of this session.

------Presentation of Learning Outcomes------

MC1: Thank you, partner! And at this juncture, let us call in our head committee, Ms. Carmela Caminong

MC2: Thank You very much ma’am! In just 2 hours and 30 minutes, we’ve learned so much from you.
Now, I am certain that we are all filled with helpful information regarding Social Work Profession in
Substance Abuse settings. For those of you who have questions, clarifications, or concerns, you may now
open your mic and address your questions to Ma’am Morales. You may also just ask through the in-call
messages. And just a reminder, we only have 15 minutes for the open forum. So, you may now start.
MC1: While we are preparing our questions, let’s have first 2 minutes’ break to drink, to stretch our
hands, and move our body. Your time start now!
(We will monitor the in-call messages for the questions)
MC1: Okay, as we said earlier we only have 15 minutes to cater all your questions. But if you have other
questions or clarifications about the topic in our session, you can message it to the session’s committees
and we’ll directly forward it to Ma’am Morales.
MC2: Yes! Do not hesitate to message us your questions, dahil basta kayo, lahat ay sigurado.
MC1: At ngayon, ang hinihintay ng lahat! Galingan niyo dahil huling pagkakataon niyo na ito para
manalo sa araw na ito. Kaya naman, the screen is yours again Mr. Castil!

MC1: Oh diba ang saya lang? At alam niyo ba kung ano ang mas maganda sa programang ito ay
pagkakataong matuto at magsaya kahit sa kaunting oras na mayroon tayo.
MC2: Thank you everyone for attending this webinar. I hope you’ve learned so much concepts, ideas,
and learnings today. The certificates for today’s event will just be sent through your e-mail accounts. Just
don’t forget to fill-in the evaluation form that we’ll be sending to all the participants later. But before we
formally close this event, let me just read the citations of the certificate for our resource speaker. (Read)
