I'm proud to be a Sebastinian!

This is a clear indication that the popularity of one's school can no longer be regarded as a guaranty for success. Thank God! I regret for having chosen another institution for law school though.

ok lang yan Sir...sabi mo nga wala sa school yan. personal happiness naman is always a choice...the society's opinion has no bearing at all. success and happiness coexist in law when you pursue it with passion. nyaks!

it's about how much of your gift are you willing to give back or share?

well, i am glad i am a graduate of San Sebastian Law!

(will take the Bar next year) i'll have to admit i feel inferior sometimes when in the midst of those more "famous" law schools students before. pero i know na Baste has a very good law school since Dean Riano's term. in fact, this is not the first time na may nag top 10 within the last 5 years. pero sa mga di nakakaalam, dami din nakakapasa from Baste, di nga lang nasa top 10 lagi.
