Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is one among my favorite politicians here in the Philippines. A good public servant. I am looking forward to working in the government till the age of retirement.
Another idol public servant is my mother, presently the Acting Admin. Officer of Ospital ng Santa Cruz. Another story for her in these blog in the future. First thing first. Here's Senate President's JPE speech.

Happy reading!!!
"Certainly, the lessons that a lawyer must learn cannot be confined
to the classroom. In fact, it is in the courtrooms -- in the hard, rough
and tumble life of law practice, exposure to varied and difficult legal and
factual issues, and in the careful and arduous preparation for actual
litigation that a lawyer’s skills and worth are developed, honed, tested ever
so often, and sharpened."
"But the enduring values of critical thinking, intellectual freedom,
academic excellence, social consciousness, persistence, doggedness, and
perseverance, and, most of all, honor and integrity, can only take root under
an academic environment that nurtures them. Such is the environment that
the University of the Philippines and the College of Law of this university
provides."
"May you all carry these values with you as you leave this great
institution and make your parents, your professors and the U.P. College of Law
truly proud of you, and may you all summon the boldness to make a difference in
your chosen profession."
