I am humbled and grateful as I accept the challenge of leading the resilient Bicol University family into a promising future! It is not an easy task. After all, it is easier to dream, and harder to do. Definitely, there are giant shoes I have to fill in. There are giant footsteps I have to tread. But I have just the right amount of apprehension. It is enough to propel me to dream big for Bicol University and to do every possible good I can do, together with you, my beloved Bicol University family; so that we can continue to sustain the gains, build more milestones, break barriers that hinder the full potential of Bicol University as the premier state university in the Bicol Region.

Join me as we work together to continue the legacies of the past, and build on the vison of a University for Humanity characterized by productive scholarship, transformative leadership, collaborative service, and distinctive character for sustainable societies.

Guided by our abiding faith in Divine Providence, in ourselves and in one another, we will build our dreams, journey towards our vision, and ensure an inclusive and sustainable future for Bicol University.

Pinakamamahal kong mga kasama at kapamilya dito sa Bicol University, sikapin nating maabot ng may magandang hangarin ang isang panibago at makabagong bukas.

Join me, because the best always starts with you; because BU is you!

Dios mabalos saindo gabos!
