Beautiful morning to all of us! It is indeed a very good opportunity to be with you today as we come together to once again validate our commitment to public service. Let us all be inspired by the wisdom that says, “The only way to work great is to love what you do.” If you have not found it yet, do not settle but keep looking. Exhibiting our great work also needs God’s guidance. Hence, as Matthew teaches us, let us acknowledge God before men so that we will also be acknowledged by the Father who is in heaven. Let me congratulate our ROTC Unit led by Ms. Sol Virtudazo, our NSTP Director, for the successful conduct of the Regional Annual Administrative Tactical Inspection held last week. Likewise, let us congratulate the College of Teacher Education for the successful conduct of the Teachers’ Congress held in Cantilan also last week, led by the Dean Prof. Annie Y. Samarca, and of course the notable performance of Lianga Campus for producing a topnotcher in the recent LET results! Today, let us again engage in fruitful dialogues which are imperative for the success of our joint-academic and administrative council meeting. With the freshness of the green environment of the San Miguel Campus under the leadership of Prof. Clemencia Sumagaysay, may it flourish our creative minds to create and develop things that are worthwhile for the NEMSU Community. The different programs, projects, and other undertakings will strengthen the foundation of NEMSU as the laying portals of the brilliant hatch. For the love of learning, coupled with our deep commitment to public service, let the NEMSU education bring a positive impact to all our valued stakeholders. MABUHAY!
