MANILA — Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino delivered the keynote speech during the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) commencement exercises held in Davao City.
Tolentino urged the graduates to use their education to “make a difference, inspire others, and create a future filled with hope and promise.”
“As you step into the world beyond the walls of the University of Southeastern Philippines, remember that your education is not merely about the knowledge you have acquired but the wisdom you have gained,” said Tolentino.
“I encourage the faculty members and the parents—our work does not end with the graduation ceremony. Our graduates should step out not alone, but with the guidance of their parents and the continued mentoring, albeit at a distance, of the faculty members,” he continued.
The senator also expressed his commitment to help establish a general hospital at USeP to complement the university’s Doctor of Medicine program and provide vital health services to residents of the city and the Davao region.
