Chancellor Murao's Message at UPMin's 29th Anniversary Celebration

Esteemed Guest Speaker Mindanao Development Authority Secretary Maria Belen Sunga-Acosta, UP Mindanao officials, faculty, staff, and students, beloved alumni, distinguished guests, awardees, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to this momentous occasion as we celebrate UP Mindanao's Foundation Anniversary. It is with pride and joy that we commemorate 29 years of honor, excellence, and service.

Reflecting on that journey evokes wonderful memories and invaluable lessons.

The alumni fought a long 19 years for a UP in Mindanao. We are honored to have here with us this morning alumni Mr. Sebastian "Anggie" Angliongto, Mr. John Gaisano, and Mr. Danny Guillen. These were among the brave and at the forefront of that battle. We are also honored to have in our presence officers and members of the different alumni associations of UP. Salamat, po, sa inyong pagsama sa aming selebrasyon ngayong umaga. They and many others are now the silent stalwarts of UP Mindanao.

A number of you have been with the university since we started from the ground up, including the early batches of students. I'm sure the habal-habal days with the abortion road are still fresh in our recollection. How can it not be when several of us have fallen victim to that road?

Yet none of those difficulties and dangers had stopped us from doing our mandate and mission. Indeed, we have literally and figuratively blazed the trail of bringing education closer to the farthest south, the marginalized, and the underserved. At the end of that trail is a small beacon of light called UP Mindanao.

Those who have gone before us fought for that light and carried it to places where it is needed. I would like to recognize the presence of our former chancellor, Larry Digal. Thank you, sir, for being with us this morning.

Kita naman ang bag-ong henerasyon nga tinugyanan sa Unibersidad, the new-generation stewards of that light. How we nurture that light will define our legacy.
