- Think of the many sacrifices of your parents and siblings.
- Think of the prospect of learning things that you would not ordinarily encounter in books or in other learning institutions, and how this in the process will transform you and your society, especially the socially marginalized, into a better state.
- Think of your well-meaning professors who remain in UP notwithstanding the better economic opportunities and more efficient system outside.
- And most importantly, think of the ordinary Filipino taxpayers who finance portion of your university education, many of whom cannot afford to send their children to tertiary level.
