Ipinagmamalaki namin ito, sapagkat naniniwala kami na kung wala ang institusyon na ito, hindi kami magiging sino kami ngayon.” The ceremony concluded with a congratulatory message from Dr. Karenina Romualdo, Vice President for Business Affairs, who praised the awardees for their perseverance and their choice to lead with integrity. “Sa bawat hakbang na inyong tinahak, dala ninyo ang pag-asa ng inyong pamilya at ngayon, dala ninyo ang karangalan ng ating mahal na CLSU.
