To the Graduates of 2015,

2014 has been a colorful year for the Philippines. We won some battles
and we lost some. Somehow, we Filipinos, find the strength to get up
and fight back. This year, you are in a new battlefield. You are now
ready to face your future.
As you map out your future, remember the experiences of the past. Of
the good things, replicate them. Of the unwanted ones, learn from them.
Cherish the moments that have defined who you are today.
Be grateful to those who have helped you reach this stage. Remember
that you are not alone in the journey, but all the lives you have touched
will always be with you, and everyone that you will meet along the way
will help guide you to your next destination.
Strive to be the best in your endeavors. This is the only guarantee that
even if you fail, all your efforts will not have been in vain.
In all that you do, offer them to God, who wills and who allows.
In your actions, remember your love for our Country. We are all that
she has.
To you, who hold the future in your hands, do not waste this
opportunity. Be the advocates for social justice. Be the challengers of
the status quo. Be the champions for genuine change.
Madamo gid nga salamat.
