Cecil

Favorite GE subject when you were an undergrad: Philosophy 11 (Logic)
Favorite non-Aguman tambayan: My dorm (Sampaguita Residence Hall)

I was convinced to join UP Aguman because: Initially, because my former classmates joined but what convinced me to go through with my application are the resident members who I found really nice.

My favorite Aguman memory is: Christmas carolling, staying at the tambayan and reading the logbook.

The best thing about being an AguPip is: having more friends who treat you like their own sibling.

Back in college, the worst rule I had broke was: dorm rules like drinking alcohol, gambling, and cooking with a multi-cooker inside the dorm room; not attending class lectures many times (but is there a rule to this???).

The difference between college life and the real world is: the type of people that you could possibly meet. In college, the people that you would possibly meet mostly fall in the category of ‘students’ (I could say then educated). They may be people of different personalities but they still belong to the same category. In the real world, you meet all sorts of people from all walks of life. You would you deal with people of different personalities of different types.

The best thing about my work is: enjoying what you do and getting paid for what you enjoy doing.

The greatest injustice in the world is: poverty.

If I were a female mosquito for a day, I would bite: only cute guys

If time is gold, then silver is: time less precious than gold-precious time.

Message to fellow alumni: Forever in UP Aguman we will belong. Keep our organization alive!

Message to the residents: Be true in being a member.
