Prof. Winnie Monsod on UPs Honor and Excellence. I think six of the, I dont know, majority of the presidents of the Philippines came from UP. The majority of the Supreme Court Chief Justices come from UP. The majority of the Speakers of the House come from UP. The majority of the senate Presidents are UP. Eh saan tayo ngayon? If they were so good, why are we where we are now? And so you have to ask yourselves that. And part of the reason is because we have always looked at excellence and not at honor and integrity. ...if you are going to help this country, youve got to be in the country. And if any of you have mga little ambitions of going abroad so that you can earn more, please disabuse yourself because by doing that you are essentially betraying the people in the Philippines who trusted you and who invested their money in you. ...if you turn your back on the country, if you turn your back on the FIlipino people, what you are doing, essentially, is you are exacerbating the problem rather than helping in the solution.
