Ako, ikaw, tayo ang liwanag ng Diyos (SHS GA Strand commencement 2022 speech)
"Kapag ikaw ay makikita ng iba, Ateneo ba ang kanilang makikita? Kapag ikaw ay magsasalita, Ateneo ba ang kanilang maririnig? Mararamdaman ba nila na ikaw ay Atenista kapag ikaw ay kanilang kasama? This is my challenge to you dear graduates."
Know your "why" (SHS ABM Strand commencement 2022 speech)
"Knowing your purpose helps clarify your definition of success, which shouldn’t only be motivated by money. It helps you make life decisions more confidently, like what career to eventually pursue. It gives meaning to your efforts and work, especially during very challenging times."
