As early as when we were frosh, we were told of his legend. “You have been warned”, so our upperclassmen would say.

De La Salle University has had its fair share of producing graduates who have become industry game changers, leaders, and business pioneers, in its more than 100 years of educating Filipino students. The success of Lasallian graduates in their chosen fields is partly attributable to what they were taught and how they were instructed during…
Cream does not always rise to the top. In certain cases and specific situations, the material that floats above the rest is of little value and unimportant.
