The GREATNESS in academic undertaking

The greatness in all academic undertaking is the time you will don your own academic robe and walk toward the podium to claim your diploma (though ceremonial as it is, since I have not experience actual diploma being handed down to graduates). This official graduation photo was taken in Manila when I graduated in my MA in Foreign Service from the esteemed Lyceum of the Philippines University in Manila.

While at the university, I had been educated under the influential men and women of substance like Senate President Jovito Salonga, Senator Ernesto Herrera, Ambassador Ben Domingo, Ambassador Dolores Sale, Finance USEC. Milwida Guevarra, and others. I was the first to graduate in this program and has excelled so much in this field and my masteral thesis was on "Philippine Foreign Policymaking Process".

Now, as I am with La Salle University for my PhD in Educational Management and as a PhD Candidate, I am here to grow into the academic environment. I wanted to jell into active and responsible member of the academic community where our significant contributions will always have to be our brains and our ideas.
