For many students, finishing a degree and earning a diploma is the culmination of years of burning the midnight oil. From late-night study sessions to stressful school activities, one can’t help but wonder why the road to success is one built on back-breaking toil and great personal sacrifices.

Mr. Liujay E. Agustin, a graduand from the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), recounted his extraordinary journey toward earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree.

Like many young dreamers, Mr. Agustin once aspired to achieve success and lift his family out of poverty. But fate intervened when his parents separated, forcing him to develop an extraordinary resilience even at a young age.

During the Tarlac Agricultural University’s (TAU) 79th Commencement Exercises for College of Education (CEd), College of Engineering and Technology (CET), and Certificate Courses alongside the 14th Conferment Rites, Senator Joel “TESDAMAN” Villanueva delivers his powerful message to the graduates of Batch 2024-2025.

Drawing from his own journey as an advocate for education and skills training, Senator Villanueva urged the new graduates to embrace lifelong principles: be effective, keep on improving, and keep on chasing the powerful meaning of G.O.A.T (greatest of all time).

He reinterprets this by stressing that in our rapidly evolving world where AI is just right around the corner, every TAUian must strive and remember that learning is a life-long process that does not end during graduation
