AMA Commencement Exercises - AMA Computer University, PICC, May 9, 2005

MAGANDANG UMAGA BAYAN!!!

BINABATI KO ANG PAMUNUAN NG AMA COMPUTER UNIVERSITY, ANG PINAKA UNANG I.T. UNIVERSITY SA TIMOG SILANGANG ASYA, SA PAMUMUNO NI AMBASSADOR AMABLE R. AGUILUZ V SAMPU NG MGA OPISYAL NG IBAT-IBANG CAMPUS MULA SA KALAKHANG MAYNILA. HIGIT SA LAHAT, BINABATI KO ANG MGA MAGSISIPAGTAPOS NGAYON KASAMA ANG INYONG MGA MAGULANG.

SA HULING PAGKAKATAON, HINIHILING KO SA ATING MGA GRADUATES NA IPADAMA NINYO ANG INYONG PASASALAMAT SA INYONG MGA MAGULANG SA PAMAMAGITAN NG ISANG MASIGABONG PALAKPAKAN.

ALTHOUGH IT IS EXPECTED THAT GRADUATE OR ALUMNUS OF THIS INSTITUTION OUGHT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR INSTITUTION THAN ME, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE EVERYONE TO HAVE SOME FLASHBACK ON THE YEAR 1980, THE TIME THAT OUR COUNTRY EXPERIENCED A PHENOMENAL BREAKTHROUGH IN I.T. EDUCATION – AMA COMPUTER INSTITUTE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE VISIONARY DR. AMABLE R. AGUILUZ V, WHO IS STILL ACTIVE IN THE I.T. EDUCATION BEING THE CHAIRMAN EMERITUS OF YOUR INSTITUTION.

HIS VISION OF ESTABLISHING THE AMA COMPUTER INSTITUTE PUT OUR COUNTRY IN THE GLOBAL I.T. MAP. TWENTY FIVE YEARS THEREAFTER, AMA COMPUTER INSTITUTE HAS ESTABLISHED GLOBAL TIE-UPS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH MICROSOFT, AVAYA, SMARTFORCE, CISCO SYSTEM, AMERICAN LEAGUE OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITY, AMONG OTHERS. ALL THESE HELPED YOUR INSTITUTION ACHIEVE A UNIVERSITY STATUS/RECOGNITION FROM THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION (CHED), THUS ALLOWING IT TO OFFER VARIOUS DEGREE COURSES IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, ENGINEERING, ARTS AND SCIENCES, NURSING AND COMMERCE.

THE GRANT OF UNIVERSITY STATUS BY (CHED) IS A CLEAR RECOGNITION THAT YOUR INSTITUTION IS RELIGIOUSLY AND FAITHFULLY COMPLYING WITH ALL THE GOVERNMENT STANDARDS.

CONSIDERING THESE LAURELS, I THEREFORE ENJOIN ALL GRADUATES TO BE PROUD OF BEING PART OF SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL AND ITS LONG LIST OF SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO EXCEL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS OF PROFESSION.

WITH THE TRAININGS AND CURRENT PROGRAMS OF YOUR INSTITUTION IN HELPING ITS GRADUATES LAND A GOOD AND PROMISING JOB HERE AND ABROAD, MASASABI NATING TUNAY NA KASANGA AT KAISA NG ATING PAMAHALAAN ANG AMA COMPUTER UNIVERSITY SA PAGSULONG NG MGA PROGRAMA NA MAGBIBIGAY NG 6-10 MILLION JOBS AT TULOY-TULOY NA MAGSUSULONG NG ATING EKONOMIYA.

BAGAMAT MARAMI SA ATIN ANG MARAHIL NAGTATANONG KUNG ILAN SA MGA GRADUATES ANG MAY MAPAPASUKANG TRABAHO SA PANAHON NGAYON NA MADALANG PA SA PATAK NG ULAN SA BUWAN NG TAG-ARAW ANG PAGKAKAROON NG MAPAPASUKANG TRABAHO.

DESPITE THIS PROBLEM, I ASSURE YOU PARENTS AND GRADUATES PRESENT HERE TODAY (IF ONLY TO ALLAY OR DISPEL YOUR FEARS OF BECOMING MEMBERS OF THE UNEMPLOYED SECTOR) THAT HAVING A DECENT JOB IS NOT FAR FETCHED BECAUSE AMA HAS PREPARED YOU WITH THE TRAININGS AND SKILLS NEEDED FOR THE DEMANDS IN WORKPLACES HERE AND ABROAD. YOU WILL USE THESE SKILLS AND TRAININGS AGAINST ALL ODDS AND BE ABLE TO COMPETE IN THIS AGE OF GLOBALIZATION BECOMING PROFESSIONALS AND LEADERS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ESPECIALLY IN OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY; RECOGNIZING THE FACT THAT OUTSIDE THE PORTALS OF THIS INSTITUTION EACH ALUMNUS ALWAYS STRIVE TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY – THIS WAS THE MISSION OF AMA COMPUTER UNIVERSITY AS ORIGINALLY ENVISIONED BY YOUR FOUNDER AMABLE R. AGUILUZ V.

BILANG INYONG IKALAWANG PANGULO HINIHIKAYAT KO ANG BAWAT GRADUATE NA ISAPUSO ANG MGA NATUTUNAN NINYO MULA SA INYONG ALMA MATER DAHIL ITO ANG MAGSISILBING PASSPORT NINYO TUNGO SA INYONG TAGUMPAY SA KINABUKASAN. (BIGYAN NATIN NG MASIGABONG PALAKPAKAN ANG MGA OPISYAL NG AMA COMPUTER UNIVERSITY, ISA PANG PALAKPAK PARA SA LAHAT NA MGA TEACHERS, PROFESSORS AT DEANS).

BILANG ISANG AMA AT MAGULANG, HIHIHIMOK KO ANG BAWAT GRADUATE NA SANA’Y HUWAG KAYONG MAKALIMOT NA TUMANAW SA MGA SAKRIPISYO AT PAGTITIIS NG INYONG MGA MAGULANG PARA LANG MAIGAPANG ANG INYONG PAGTATAPOS AT PAGKAKAROON NG ISANG KURSO NA SIYANG MAGBUBUKAS SA INYONG KINABUKASAN. (WALA BA KAYONG MGA KAMAY? BIGYAN NATIN NG MALAKAS NA PALAKPAKAN ANG MGA MAGULANG NA NANDITO NGAYON)

BILANG PAGTATAPOS AT NAWAY MAGSILBING INSPIRASYON SA BAWAT GRADUATE ANG AKING IBABAHAGI SA INYO TUNGKOL SA AKING KARANASAN SA BUHAY. HINDI NAGING HADLANG SA AKIN ANG KAHIRAPAN UPANG MAKAMTAN ANG TAMIS NG PAGTATAPOS NG PAG-AARAL (NA ALAM KONG INYO RING NADARAMA NGAYON) AT TULUYANG MAGKAROON NG ISANG KURSO MULA RIN SA ISANG TANYAG NA UNIVERSIDAD AT MAABOT ANG TALUKTOK NG KATANYAGAN AT TAGUMPAY NA TINATAMASA KO NGAYON SA TULONG AT GABAY NG ATING POONG MAYKAPAL, MAGULANG AT MGA GURO.

I ONLY HAVE “SIPAG AT TIYAGA”, TO BORROW THE FAMOUS STATEMENT OF MY DEAR FRIEND AND POLITICAL BUDDY IN THE SENATE, SEN. MANNY VILLAR, THAT BROUGHT ME WHERE I AM NOW. TULAD KO, ITO RIN ANG MAGIGING SUSI NG INYONG TAGUMPAY.

MULI, BINABATI KO KAYONG LAHAT NA MGA NAGSIPAGTAPOS SA TAONG ITO. BAGAMAT MARAMI NGA TAYONG PROBLEMANG HINAHARAP, REMEMBER TO BANK ON THE INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND PARTNERSHIP OF YOUR ALMA MATER IN LOOKING FOR A JOB NAPAKALAWAK NAMAN NG OPORTUNIDAD (HERE AND ABROAD) UPANG ANG INYONG MGA NATUTUNAN SA AMA COMPUTER UNIVERSITY AY INYONG MAGING PUHUNAN SA INYONG PAKIKIPAGSAPALARAN SA BUHAY.

MARAMING SALAMAT PO!
