"Learn as much as you can from the people and community.
What we want is to develop Filipinos that will protect
the interest of the majority of our people.
For that, you need to immerse with them in their farms
and communities and know how the majority
of our people live in their struggle for a better life.
It will be a humbling experience and you
will surely emerge with stronger character.
You will value this experience and you will understand
for whom our education is for as productive
member of society after graduation.
Mabuhay kayo!"
-Prof. Roland Simbulan, MPA
Program Head, Development Studies
former UP Faculty Regent
