I know that it has taken you much time, effort, and some expense to get to this high point of your lives, on the verge of your future careers. I guess that is true for any college graduate. But for a UP graduate, expectations run even higher. And they should, because from the very start, we have been held to a higher standard of honor, excellence, and public service. In the words of President Rafael Palma during his investiture in 1925, he said “it was UP’s mission not just to produce graduates, but to encourage “original thinking and assert our individuality in the realm of mind for the positive benefit of the Filipino people.” A UP graduate has to be a willing, creative, and audacious agent of social transformation, going UP President Danilo L.

  • New Hope, New Resolve, New Normal!
    Volume 7 Issue No. 01 map.org.ph January 5, 2020 “MAPping the Future” Column in the INQUIRER NEW HOPE, NEW RESOLVE, NEW NORMAL! January 4, 2021 Mr. ANTONIO “Tony” T. HERENANDEZ Year 2021 unfolds as the ‘unspoiled page in our book of time’ now at our disposal. It comes as our next chance to objectify past lessons learned, and hopefully avoid lapses/errors as we write out “Chapter-2021” of our journey called life! The first month of the year --- January --- is aptly named after the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings and doorways; of entrances and exits. Janus bears a double-faced head so he can look back to the past while at the same time look ahead to the future. It implies the ability to readily reflect on last year’s learning. At the same time, look forward with circumspection to address the year ahead. New Resolve During this month, the so-called “new year’s resolution” comes to mind. When taken seriously, it could gain traction in engaging the WILL to: (1) chart a fresh lease of life; (2) break away from habits that blot yesterday’s copybook; and (3) imbibe positive qualities --- virtuous not vicious --- to influence human nature’s natural driving forces [like ambition, impatience, self-concept, even selfishness... neutral forces essentially, writes international best-selling author Brian Tracy] and channel them to actions that edify not degrade, build not destroy, help not harm, and be a blessing to others! In the good-old-days, “new year’s resolution” was often the subject of school compositions.
