“Just because I have no arms and legs, it doesn't mean I'm limited.” - Nick Vujicic Nicholas James Vujicic was born with a rare condition called Phocomelia, characterized by the absence of limbs. Yet this challenge never stopped him from becoming a world-renowned evangelist and motivational speaker.

(Commencement Speech as the Guest of Honor) I am deeply honoured to be chosen to be the guest speaker for this momentous event. I remember when I graduated last May 2011, our commencement speaker was Ms. Gina Lopez of ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. So, medyo lume-level tayo ngayon kay Ms. Gina Lopez. Just kidding. Somehow, I feel that I am quite too young for this. But I am really grateful for the STI administration for trusting me and for giving me this privilege to speak in fron

[Valedictory Address] Author's Note: I believe I have served my purpose... And that is, to declare God's faithfulness to me. I pray that the people who heard my speech will be inspired to seek the Lord! About two years ago, I gave up my heart’s desire of delivering this valedictory speech. With numerous competitive STI students within the region, I expected less to be chosen to speak before you. Nevertheless, conquering every obstacle, I must say, at this very moment, my utm
