Justyn Frederick I. Salayog is a distinguished Mater Dei Academy alumnus. A top graduate in his batch, he showed his leadership by spearheading the very first editorial staff of Duc in Altum Publications as the editor-in-chief. He also joined the editorial writing of 2019 EDDIS 6 Press Conference in Marilao, Bulacan.
Now that he is doing well in UP Baguio, we are confident that he exudes the MDA values of "Talino, Tiyaga, at Pusong Dakila". May we wish him in his new endeavor in unselfishly serving the UPB studentry.
