Becoming an SSG President of the Academic Year 2011- 2012 is a great honor, privilege, experience, and of course an opportunity to lead the Supreme Student Government which is the highest student organizations established to all colleges and universities in the Philippines. I always asked myself do I deserve to be an SSG President. Can I handle things properly most especially the hard things to do?  Can I certainly do my duties and responsibilities as President in SSG? These are the questions in my mind that challenged me most. Honestly, in the very beginning, I never expected in my life to run as SSG President because I am a working student. Thus, Election had come, Affirmatively, I won as SSG President of the Academic Year 2011- 2012 and I accepted it with full spirits of willingness and in hearts and minds. And I never expected about the benefits and fame from it but leadership and service to give and lead the studentry. And for those who believed in me in general my leadership and capacity, I also extended and expressed my heartfelt thanks to them. I always value everyday that every student makes happy and proud. I always have a happy heart and a peace of mind because you have made me a better person and a better leader too.

I know that this day will come, July 13, 2012, because I will turnover the key of Responsibility and gavel of authority to the new SSG President who will become the new leader in SSG.

Before that, I would like to recognize, acknowledge, and thank Prof. Julio A.
