When Teacher Jay Caballero calls the names of his students, he expects them to say the name of their crushes instead.

Teacher Jay of the Kapatagan National High School in Lanao del Norte said he wanted to always start the day right by motivating his students as he also makes sure that they are ready for the lessons that he has prepared for them.

“Our attendance check or during our attendance check, it is kind of motivational, it is kind  of inspiring and lively. So that’s why I did this twist. Attendance check with their crush’s names,” he said.
