Even though I finished a degree in Philosophy in my Bachelor's, I'll still pursue it in the Graduate school and beyond because of love. I know, it's a corny reason, but love makes you corny, and loving wisdom makes me corny, so sue me.

Anywho, as the days pass and I grow older in this discipline, I realize the extent of my own stupidity. And realizing how big are these gaps, my appetite for knowledge is whetted all the more.

You see, the battle against ignorance and suffering is a life-long battle, and our only consolation, aside of course having the good life, is an ice-cold beer by the end of every week. Cheers.

Since Wikipedia wouldn't simply do.

This (Corona’s earning a Summa Cum Laude for his PhD in UST) is not to say that UST stands alone in the chronicle of universities’ tale of ignominy . UP itself once granted doctoral degrees honoris causa to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu and Imelda Marcos herself. Ateneo likewise was on the defensive when its own President of Board of Trustees read a speech plagiarized from Oprah for its sesquicentennial commencement exercises. The only name that has remained immaculate to date as far as academics is concerned is that of La Salle, thanks to its steadfast and unyielding adherence to the tradition which has made it an exemplar of excellence in the field of collegiate basketball.
