PASIG CITY, Philippines — High school and college students from across the Philippines unfolded at the Mall of Asia bayside a 173.65-meter cloth containing messages of gratitude for teachers.
This is the Philippines attempt to win an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records.
The banner is set to break China’s current record for the longest thank you banner for teachers at 100 meters unfolded at Fuyang Square.
The Philippines also attempts to set the record for the most number of thank you messages addressed to teachers, said Michaela Muñoz, chairperson of the educational leadership and management department of De La Salle University.
DLSU is assigned to submit to the Guinness body the measurement and count the total number of messages written in the sewn cloth banner. At present, the number of messages is estimated to average at 150 to 200 per 10-meter cloth.
