FULL TEXT | In a recent valedictory address, Marianne D. Teñoso, a Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) graduate, delivered a reflective speech. She shared her journey of overcoming academic pressures and personal struggles, emphasizing the importance of resilience, the support of loved ones, and the value of embracing vulnerability in leadership.

Here is the full transcript of her valedictory address:

"As I stand before you today, reflecting on the journey that brought us to this moment, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and fulfillment. Each of us has traveled a unique path to reach this milestone, marked by challenges faced and victories celebrated. Isa na namang paglalakbay ang magtatapos at isa ang mag-uumpisa sa paglabas natin mamaya sa plenaryong ito.

To my fellow graduates, have you ever experienced the feeling of being burned-out? Well, I am here to say, “You are not alone.” I also did experience it. When I started going to school, I excelled academically and was very confident at a young age. I was unaware that doing well in academics was building high expectations towards me, and that I could suffocate myself up there. However, when I entered junior high school, I realized that there was much more to life than academics. During that time, I may have overdone it. Because I enjoyed my junior high school years so much, I didn't realize that I was falling behind academically. Honestly, though, I didn’t care much because I didn’t focus on my academic rank. Whenever I tell this to my friends now, they’re surprised and don’t take it seriously because they always picture me excelling in school and never being not good at it.

In fact, during my last year in junior high school, I failed many times. I failed to win a major competition that was very important for the school. I failed to bring home the title. I felt deeply ashamed and distanced myself from almost everyone. Those times were among my lowest moments, with the universe seemingly throwing everything at me at once. My mind was scattered, and my junior high journey wrapped up dishearteningly.

At the beginning of senior high school, I was elected as class president, so I had no choice but to pull myself together. That’s when I promised myself to become a better version of who I was as I started my journey at Arellano University. It was scary, risky, and I didn’t know how or where to begin.

One day as I walked home, I noticed a sign with a Bible verse that said, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.” For a long time, I felt like I was doing the right thing. I knew I was on the right path and that I was going to be fine. And indeed, here I am now. Although my junior high school journey ended dishearteningly, senior high school opened an opportunity to reflect on my flaws and rectify them gradually. It is true that senior high school is our proving ground—a place where we learned to pick ourselves up, dust off the doubt, and forge ahead. Staying at Arellano University – Juan Sumulong Campus for two years taught me these. It shaped me profoundly, not just in academics but in some other aspects that are essential to my growth.

For two years in the university, we are tested in so many different ways. Who can forget the research projects that nearly drove us to madness? Those late nights that turned into a survival of the fittest, where the real competition was who could stay awake the longest without surrendering to the call of sleep. Somehow, amidst the chaos of it all, we found much more that bonded us tighter than any research could. We met diverse people who became our friends and a support system we never knew we could have. We found friendships that carried us through the toughest of times and significant people who believed in our potential even when we doubted ourselves.

We also experienced to be young leaders in our respective classrooms, clubs, and organizations that awakened our leadership skills. As young leaders, we learned firsthand the art of 'faking it till you make it.' Leading with confidence, even on days when we felt anything but confident, which then taught us the power of perseverance. But through the curricular and extra-curricular activities provided to us, we learned that leadership wasn't just about appearing strong. It's about embracing vulnerability and understanding that success is not defined by one's failures but by the courage to learn and grow from them.

To my fellow graduates, not every day will be easy, nor will everything always fall neatly into place. The road ahead of us may be rough and crooked, but with the right mindset and positive values, especially upholding the Core Values of Arellano University, the CHIEFS (Competence, Humility, Integrity Equity, Fortitude, and Stewardship) will surely be our strong walking staff that will help us overcome the rough road of life. Let us embrace uncertainty with courage, for it is through facing challenges that we truly discover our strength and resilience. As I look at all of you now, I see a flame that burns, suggesting your fire keeps on going.

To my 12 HUMSS A6 classmates, you don’t know how much you fixed something in me I didn’t even know was broken. You trusted me twice to be your leader, and you are the best people a leader could ever ask for—to be both her subjects and her friends. To my teachers, faculty members, coordinators, and to my adviser, I deeply thank you all for the guidance and support you have given me during my stay at Arellano University. To the Performing Arts Club, who allowed me to express myself and grow my talents, To my family, Mama and Papa, especially to my Nanay and Tatay, who never doubted me, my love, and to my dearest circle of friends who stayed and believed in me no matter the circumstances, thank you for always being there, making my senior high bearable, and filled with memories I will forever cherish.

Finally, I want to dedicate this moment to acknowledge the graduates across the globe who may never have the chance to celebrate their achievements again, to those who were robbed of their moment. May we all in this room be reminded of the privilege we have to be able to mark this important event and be inspired to shape the future with the resilience and compassion we must uphold.

We've come so far and sacrificed so much. I want each of you to be proud of what you've accomplished to be here today. After this, take the time to celebrate your victories and appreciate everything you've achieved. You deserve it. I understand that many of us may feel anxious about what will happen next. We cannot fully predict what the future holds, so instead of worrying about something beyond our control, let's focus on managing our actions and be prepared. We must confront the future armed with the lessons we've gathered along our journey. Let's not live in fear, because life has always been unpredictable. We can never fully see what the future holds, and I guess we'll never know.

Once again, this is Marianne, and it's an honor to be your batch valedictorian. Thank you all, and congratulations to us all senior high graduates of class 2023-2024! SULONG Juan Sumulong, sa mga pagsubok ay hindi uurong."

FULL TEXT | During the recently-concluded 8th Senior High Commencement Exercises on July 1, 2024, Juliana Eunice A. Astibe, an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) graduate, delivered an inspiring and heartfelt valedictory speech. She emphasized the significance of perseverance through challenges, the invaluable support from loved ones, and the importance of cherishing relationships while striving for future accomplishments.

Here is the full transcript of her valedictory address:

“To the honorable, Chairman and CEO of Arellano University, Mr. Francisco Paulino V. Cayco, Members of the Board of Trustees, Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, Principals, Asst. Principals, School Administrators, Teachers, parents, and fellow graduates, a marvelous morning to all!

Today is a day worth celebrating—a day when we turn the pages of our stories unto a brand-new chapter. Being here today is an incredible milestone. After the tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and effort, we have finally reached the finish line of our high school education. Through all the challenges we faced, whether in school or in our personal lives, we have persevered. We all had our struggles, and so I’m glad to say that we made it. We didn’t just survive; we thrived!

As we celebrate this terrific day, we find ourselves looking back on the years we spent here, the knowledge we have gained, and the goals we have achieved.

For me, these past years in senior high school have been transformative. From exploring arts, animation, and graphic design, to leading teams and winning competitions like the TAUgisan ng Talino quiz bee, I’ve been privileged to learn and grow with the guidance of such dedicated teachers and the camaraderie of clubs like The Standard and Arellano University’s Multimedia Club. I would like to thank them for their guidance and overall support.

This speech, however, is not to boast or share a personal anecdote all about my accomplishments. Instead, I want to reflect on what has led me to this point.

In my earlier years, I tended to underachieve, dreaming simply and not working hard. Things changed, however, when I stepped foot into high school, bustling with competition and shaping me to do better. More and more, I started coming out of my shell, gaining more confidence in myself and my abilities. This did not last, though; as with any other teenager, I started caring more and more about what people thought of me. I started getting comments on my weight, my face, my entire appearance, the way I dress, the way I talk—you get the idea: “Tumaba ka yata?”, “Bida-bida na naman siya.” With these types of comments, I became self-conscious and started doubting myself. But through these, I learned a crucial lesson: These comments don't define us. Remember, your worth is not determined by someone else's words. It is determined by your actions, your kindness, your perseverance, and your love for yourself and those around you.

In addition to this story, whilst on my academic journey, I began to feel pressured to achieve high grades. “Siguradong perfect niya ‘yan, talino eh”; “Di ‘yan babagsak si Jea, talitalino niya eh”. As I kept improving, everyone expected even more from me, leaving no room for failure. I thought to myself, maybe it’s better this way? However, this mindset led to burnout and exhaustion with every task thrown at me. Even so, I pushed through, and with the help and guidance of my teachers, coordinators, parents, siblings, and other loved ones, I managed to be here now, standing in front of you all and giving this speech. But now, I reflect on everything that happened and wonder: Ngayon na nandito ako, ano na? Ano na kasunod nito? In the end, was it even worth it? Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled to hear the news—for about five minutes. After that, I felt a huge wave of grief over the bridges I’ve burned, the people I’ve lost, and the loved ones I failed to spend time with. This taught me a lesson about priorities and the importance of balancing ambition with nurturing relationships.

Here, I leave you all with one piece of advice that I hope will guide you all in the near future: No matter what your goals are or what feat you want to achieve, never forget about those who have helped you along the way. Take time for yourself, your friends, and your family. These are the relationships that will sustain you through life's ups and downs. They are the ones who will be there for you despite any failures or disappointments you might encounter along the way.

I also want to acknowledge that being here today is a privilege. I had many tools and opportunities to move forward, and I recognize that not everyone faces the same situations. Some of us might be grieving a loved one, while others had to balance their jobs and their studies just to be here. For that, I am entirely proud and grateful to have you all here now.

Each of us has our own unique story, so it's important to navigate life at your own pace and avoid comparing your journey to others'. As we move forward into the next chapters of our lives, let us carry this lesson with us: that while achievements and titles are noteworthy, they are not the essence of our worth. The people in our lives—those who stand by us, cheer for us, and catch us when we fall—are the ones who make our journey meaningful.

To my fellow graduates, I urge you to cherish these relationships—filial, platonic, romantic, and everything in between. Nurture them, invest in them, and let them grow. Success is sweeter and more profound when it is shared with those we care about. Aanhin natin ang tamis ng tagumpay kung wala tayong karamay? As we strive for future accomplishments, let us remember that the moments we share with others are the true highlights of our lives.
As I near the end of my speech, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my parents, who have been my unwavering pillars of support. They have always been there, concerned about my well-being—whether I was eating right, getting enough sleep, or coping mentally. To put it simply, there were times when I wasn't, but their consistent support throughout my life has shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I am entirely grateful. They have witnessed me at my lowest points, sleepless nights and all, and have stood by me to celebrate the achievements that followed. Mom, Pa, I hope I made you proud.

I would also like to sincerely thank my adviser, my strand coordinator, my subject teachers, ICT A1 and A6, my old friends, my trio here, my love, and the acquaintances I have made throughout.

In closing, my fellow graduates and guests, let us celebrate this moment not just as the culmination of our hard work but as a testament to the relationships that have brought us here. May we continue to build and cherish these bonds, understanding that while titles come and go, the love and support of our community will last a lifetime.

Congratulations, batch 2023-2024! Here's to the journey ahead with the people who matter the most. Don’t be a stranger.

Thank you and God bless!

Sulong Chiefs!”

𝟭 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗖!

The highly-anticipated Cheerleading Competition will take place tomorrow, June 19 at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

Defending champion AU ChiefSquad, who already bagged 8 podium finishes in eleven seasons, will vie for their sixth championship.

𝗔𝗨 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗔 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻

After a triumphant return to the diamond in NCAA Season 98, which saw them crowned four-peat champions, the AU ChiefSquad looks forward to NCAA Season 99 with optimism and determination to clinch their fifth consecutive championship.

The start of a new campaign signifies another high-pressure season, rigorous preparations, and necessary adjustments. With their near-perfect performance last season, the Blue-and-Red squad will have targets on their backs as they aim to bring another championship crown to Legarda.

Season 98 was filled with exciting and dramatic moments that honed and toughened the team after a long absence from sports due to pandemic restrictions in the country. Now, with a season of championship experience, the AU ChiefSquad is eager to defend their title.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀

As the defending champions, the ChiefSquad prepares like there’s no tomorrow. Coach Lucky San Juan ensures an intricate training process is in place as they prepare for the new season, training six times a week, with Sunday as their only rest day. “...kailangan namin magpa-condition to achieve the skills na pwede naming gawin sa competition.”

San Juan also highlights the advantage of having a senior-composed team this year compared to last year's rookie-laden team. “...’yung maturity nila (seniors), talagang naipapakita nila. Kapag nag-eensayo, kung ano yung ginawa [natin] last time, na mga past problem [natin], nagiging lesson siya para sa’min.”

Despite their firepower, the ChiefSquad emphasizes that superior teamwork and maturity are among the most important factors for success. Coach Lucky San Juan notes that the team has been adjusting and preparing diligently to defend their championship title. Based on his observations, he is confident that the ChiefSquad is in ‘strong’ condition and poised for another victorious season.

𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲

Despite having five championships under his belt, Coach Lucky San Juan admits that the sensation of pressure continues to linger on mentoring the squad. However, it's a different kind of pressure.

Given the other teams’ hunger for an elusive championship title, San Juan reiterates that the pressure still comes from themselves. “...ang kinakatakutan namin is yung sarili namin [syempre], yun talaga yung kalaban namin.”

AU ChiefSquad’s pre-season performances and competitions, like the recently concluded National Cheerleading Championship (NCC), where they were crowned champions in the college coed cheer and open coed college group stunts divisions, also play a significant role in their campaign as these experiences help the squad stay in 'champion' shape and train members to overcome audience pressure.

“Nakatutulong talaga sa’min ‘yun (pre-season performances) to expose talaga lalo ‘yung kakayahan nila on how to perform in front of many people.” San Juan said.

With a foundation built on self-improvement and resilience, the team stands poised to conquer new heights. Coach San Juan and his squad are ready to transform their inner pressure into a driving force.

𝗡𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗣𝗲𝗮𝘁

After executing an almost-perfect routine last NCAA Season 98, the only way forward for the defending champs is up. Coach Lucky San Juan looks forward to surpassing that performance. “...every season, yun naman talaga yung tinatarget namin, to perfect and top ‘yung routines [palagi] during the competition.”

Under San Juan’s mentorship, the ChiefSquad appears solid, adhering to the same-old effective system while expecting a different squad.

“ChiefSquad is ‘super’ better… and very solid compared to last time,” he remarked.

With a total of five championships and three podium finishes, Arellano University has always had a winning culture under Lucky San Juan. Looking confident in securing yet another championship this season, he left a message to the Arellano community: "We’ll give you a good show."

The AU ChiefSquad is set to defend its title this coming Wednesday, June 19, at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

Kung papipiliin ka sa mga 'flavor' ng sorbetes, ano ang pinakamasarap para sa 'yo?

Kasi, sa dumaraming populasyon ng mga tao sa mundo, dagdag pa ang samu't-saring problemang nagkalat sa bansa, tiyak na 'mango flavor' agad ang pipiliin ko. Hindi na rin kasi kasya sa baso ang mga taong walang sapat na pribilehiyo, alukin man ng lipunan ang mga ito ng 'sang sakong piso.

Mas pipiliin ko pa ring magpaka-praktikal sa gusto ng panlasa ko, marahil ay ganito rin si manong na nagtitinda ng 'ice cream' sa Pamantasan ng Arellano, "Super Lolo" kung tawagin. Tila ba may mahika ang de-tulak na kariton niya dahil nasa loob nito ang sandamukal na kwentong nabuo ng kaniyang serbisyo.

Siya ang tagapagligtas ng bawat "desurb ko 'to" at tagapawi ng 'cravings' ko. Hindi ko siya lubusang kilala pero kilala siya nang mga estudyanteng unti-unting tinutupad ang kanilang mga pangarap. Habang hinihila niya kasi ang kaniyang paninda, itutulak ka naman nito na bagtasin ang Legarda hanggang sa lugar ng entablado.

Hindi man kasinglapot ng dugo ko ang kaniya, totoo naman ang inaalok niya; ang kaniyang pagkatao, dignidad, at sakripisyo. Ang mga guhit na nakikita sa kaniyang balat na inukit ng panahon, nagtatag ng ngiting hindi lang abot-tainga kundi kasingtulis pa ng 'ice cream cone'. Hanggang saan aabot ang bente mo? Kasi ako, iaabot ko kay manong-sorbetero.

"Dalawa nga po, isa ay para sa 'yo! Deserve mo ring matikman ang sarap na pinalalasap ninyo."

Kaya, kung papipiliin ako kung anong flavor ang gusto ko? Pipiliin ko sigurong maging apo ni Super Lolo.
