we are celebrating a very momentous event especially to our talented and diverse students who will be marching on their way to the stage and receive their awards and recognition. In every occasion, the presence of the guest of honor and speaker makes the occasion more significant and memorable. By his words of wisdom we can be able to get ideas that will help us progress. “I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen,” a famous line uttered by one of the popular American novelists and poets Ernest Hemingway. Ladies and gentlemen to introduce to us our guest of honor and speaker on today’s affair, may we call on the ever vibrant and full of enthusiasm, our OIC Dean, “Alex” as what other called him, no other than Prof. Alejo M. Sarmiento.
