Response
by
Jose B. Cruz Jr.

President Roman, Chancellor Cao, Dean Guevara, Engr. Buendia, Fellow Awardees, Families and Friends of the Awardees, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am honored and privileged speak on behalf of all my fellow awardees, to express our collective deep feelings and sentiments of gratitude for the designations we received as 100 Outstanding Alumni Engineers. We acknowledge the critical roles of our colleagues with whom we worked as teams in much of our work for which we are being honored. We publicly thank our families for their love and support. They share our honor.

We, the chosen 100, have thoughts in common with the more than 16,000 engineering alumni for the good fortune of being at the right place at the right time. We all spent several years of our formative period in the nurturing campus of the College of Engineering of the University of the Philippines during the last 100 years.

I am extremely touched by my selection as primus inter pares. This is a complete surprise, but I accept it with humility. I will cherish it for a lifetime. All I can say is that the conditional probability of being selected, given that each of the 100 awardees is outstanding, is very small.

We remember that our education was partly supported by the Filipino people. We continue to pledge to technologically serve our diverse communities. Most importantly, we dedicate our collective technological expertise, decision-making experience, and human network, for a noble purpose: to continue to help the Filipino people in attaining greater freedom, greater dignity, greater economic wellbeing, greater security, and a more lasting peace.

Thank you.

The UP Theater

With all the bells and whistles for an Oscar-like production put in place:

a stage designed for a great production, several multimedia displays inside the auditorium and in the lobby,

ramp that is senior citizen friendly,  red carpet, excellent sound system, and crane camera for video recording of entire proceeding; 

several official photographers (including yours truly who appointed himself an official photographer);

in short, the works. When comes such another?

BONUS TRACKS

The apos of Brod Dean Juguilon

I know the apo, right, and asked her what she was doing there since it is only in rallies that I see her.

She replied: apo ako ni Dean Juguilon. And her husband is a nephew of Brod Jabby Jazmines. Small world.
