Last F2F — Criminal Law Review ⚖️
Hindi ko alam kung mas mabigat ‘yung topics o ‘yung mga mata sa antok niyo. 😂
But good job, everyone! Review mode na — bawal na ang pahabol, puro recall na! 💪

No one is perfect.

Lahat tayo may kahinaan, may pagkakamali, at may mga araw na hindi tayo nasa best version natin. Pero doon tayo natututo, doon tayo hinuhubog ng Diyos.

Ang mahalaga, marunong tayong bumangon, magpatawad, at patuloy na magbago.

People assume achievers know everything, but I learn as I go. 'Di ako palaging magaling.

Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I second-guess myself, sometimes I only understand things after failing first.

Behind every achievement is a long trail of mistakes I had to accept, forgive, and learn to live with.

Siguro ok lang din maging mahina minsan—na hindi laging kailangan may sagot, na pwede ring matuto habang nagkakamali, at tanggapin na growth takes time.

PUP College of Law Visits the Supreme Court of the Philippines

The JD 1-D1 Criminal Law class of the PUP College of Law had the honor of visiting the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

We were warmly welcomed by Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo and Associate Justices Ramon Paul Hernando and Benjamin Caguioa, who generously shared their wisdom on surviving law school and upholding the rule of law with excellence and integrity. Their words reminded us that the study of law is both a privilege and a responsibility — a calling to serve truth and justice. Maraming salamat po.

During his remarks, Chief Justice Gesmundo mentioned that upon his retirement, he may teach at PUP College of Law — a lighthearted but meaningful comment that deeply inspired our students and encouraged us to continue striving for excellence in public legal education.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Honorable Chief Justice and Associate Justices for their time and graciousness, and to Atty. Judy Ann Lazo-Beluso of the Office of the Clerk of Court, and Mr. EJ Mijares of the Office of the Court Spokesperson, for making this visit possible.

It was a memorable and humbling experience — one that reaffirms our shared mission across all law schools: to form principled and service-oriented lawyers for our nation.

Proud of these students — sana habang umaangat sa tagumpay, manatiling mapagpakumbaba, tapat, at matatag ang puso sa paglilingkod at sa katarungan. 💛❤️
