“Whatever path you take or the profession that you will pursue in the future, I trust that the knowledge and skills you have gained here will serve you well. Not only the theory and the lessons from the book, but the values and the culture that you have learned inside CLSU will make you successful. These foundations will become your strong roots; nurture them and help them grow… As you take on the world, CLSU will always be here for you. Isang tahanan na pwede ninyong babalik-balikan.”
