Retired Schools Division Superintendent Eulalia B. Besañes, visiting and observing classes at Pantukan Provincial High School (Pantukan National High School) in 1967, spotted Gloria Gazmen. Gazmen was then a regional demonstration teacher and facilitator in English. Upon Basañes' encouraging her to transfer to Tagum Community High School, Gazmen left the established school to gamble her fate on then still shaky institution, taking a decrease in salary. She had no choice but to yield to the order of the boss whose vision was to established and strengthen a public secondary school in the province's capital town.
