What makes a person “ideal”?

“A person is ideal if he is armed with Filipino core values – Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa. These values should be carried out with confidence. A person is ideal if he is a good listener and can influence people to change for the better by means of modeling and speaking. He is ideal if his feet are attached on the ground and if he is courageous to stand against wrong, honest in all the things that he is doing, does not settle for mediocrity and has a great faith to God.”

How do you practice faith as a Thomasian?

“As a Thomasian, I practice my faith by always talking to our Lord. I am asking Him to always guide me in my daily life especially in my studies and decision making. Every chance that I see, I grab it and go to church to pray and thank Him to all His blessings. I always have in me my St. Tomas Aquainas Card Prayer to always remind me of praying after waking and before sleeping. Furthermore, as a fully pledged Thomasian, I strengthen and practice my faith by being competent, committed, and compassionate to the field that God had destined me. I am giving my 101% to do great in the field of Education in order for me to continue one of His jobs – to educate children and empower their rights for the future.”

How can you promote peace in your community?

“Why are there wars, poverty, high mortality rate and corruption? It is rooted in one thing, low class of education. By promoting and implementing great education, hand in hand, we will be able to produce great students who will be great leaders in the future, and with great leaders, we will be able to make a great community. With a great community, I can assume that peace can be promoted by means of having less war, poverty, low mortality rate and less corruption. The process maybe difficult, but with the hand in hand cooperation of different ideas, the promotion of different values such as competence, compassionate, and commitment, success will be reached.”

Why should the Thomasian community vote for you?

“The Thomasian community should vote for me for I am armed with the values of UST – Competence, Compassionate, and Committed. I am also armed with the values of being a genuine Filipino – Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa. These values I can carry out with confidence and can model to the people not only inside but beyond the four walls of the academe. The Thomasian Community should vote for me for I do not aim to be on top, I do not aim to get all the fame, for I only aim to show to everyone that an ordinary person like me who once dream to be part of TSITP can achieve that dream. UST should vote me because I symbolize a pure and chased Thomasian who is willing to give his best in all the things that he does and has the guts to prove to everyone that a dreamer can as well achieve his goals in life. I live, talk and walk with our optimum God and serves Him as my guidance. I have no vices, and protects my body for I believe that LIFE should be protected.”
