As quoted, he said:
"The bigger and more significant challenge to overcome is our responsibility to contribute to our society as products of this nation's premier university which may involve sacrificing our dreams of extravagant ways of life that ironically might have motivated us to work hard in our college education. The true challenge is to be able to use the critical thinking skills and knowledge we learned through UP education in solving the problems of the bigger world outside the University"
