What qualifies you to be the first Thomasian Youth Ambassadress?
“An ambassador, by definition, is a person who exemplifies the best of what a group, organization, or country has to offer. Since joining the Thomasian family as a BS Nursing student back in 2009, I have strived to live up to the University’s core values of commitment, compassion and competence, and demonstrate the said values in my daily life be it at home, in school or in my community. If and when given the opportunity to serve as the first Thomasian Ambassadress, I will dedicate a considerable amount of time and effort in promoting UST’s mission, particularly in the area of Catholic education.”
How do you value education?
“I have willingly invested time, effort, and sleepless nights in pursing an Education in order to achieve my goals in life in the hopes of having better possibilities – not just for me, but for the people I may be able to help in the future. I believe that that investment in knowledge, coupled with a sincere passion for learning is what drives me to do the best that I can in my Medical Education.”
How can you share the light of education to the indigenous people?
“I believe education is the great equaliser. It is a fact, however, that education has evolved into a luxury that certain disadvantaged members of society cannot afford. As one of the privileged few who can pursue their dreams without worrying that much about the resources needed to cover tuition, books and other related expenses, I believe it is my duty to take steps, no matter how small, to improve the plight of indigenous children who, just like me, dream of becoming productive members of society one day. If and when chosen to be the first Thomasian Ambassadress, I will spearhead student-led initiatives geared towards: widening access to primary education and improving existing resources in order to make this happen.”
Why should the Thomasian community vote for you?
“I have always wanted to be a part of something that commits itself to making a difference in other peoples’ lives. I believe that aside from offering the usual idealistic approach in promoting TYA’s program for primary education, I can try, and will try to create something that is realistic as well – something that is creative, interesting, and enticing, but at the same time, simple and definitely achievable.”

Faculty/College:
Faculty of Pharmacy
Full Name:
Franz Harvin Montealto Aceituna
Nickname:
Franz
Year/Major:
4th year, Medical Technology
Age:

What qualifies you to be the first Thomasian Youth Ambassador?
“My ability to be the model to the young generation of Filipinos, practicing the Thomasian core values in my everyday life and constantly pursuing excellence as a global citizen and individual of this fine country. The passion in me for the progression by the youth.”
How do you value education?
“Education is not merely the installment of knowledge, but the inspiration to the constant pursuit to enlightenment in one’s lifetime. True education is constantly present in the life of a man. In the end, what truly matters is how one appreciates and nourishes his personal growth with what the world has to offer him, and that is what must be known by all, that living is learning.”
How can you share the light of education to the indigenous people?
“Sharing is to connect with others, requiring only the simplest means of communication between two human beings, talking. Despite the lack of personal communication in the modern world, a short speech in a person’s mother tongue or a strong bond of friendship can provide impact consequential to a domino effect, giving ideas and information that would cascade to all generations within a community. Inspiring and also believing in our fellow natives to learn and be educated can do wonders and could yield to unimaginable results.”
Why should the Thomasian community vote for you?
“I believe that I embody not only the ideals of my faculty, but also of our university as well. That I think would match the quality of what a Thomasian youth ambassador is.”
