Relive the momentous and deeply impactful commencement speech delivered by multi-awarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho at the University of the Philippines Diliman's 114th General Commencement Exercises on Sunday, July 6, 2025!

Returning to her alma mater, Ms. Soho challenged the Class of 2025 with a candid yet profound message, famously asking, "Eh ano ngayon kung UP ka?" She urged graduates to see their UP education not as a source of entitlement, but as a immense privilege and a solemn responsibility to serve the Filipino people. Her speech highlighted:

The power of using one's voice to inspire change and become the "matagal nang hinihintay na pagbabago."
The Filipino values of "loob" (inner self) and "kapwa" (caring for others), emphasizing that "UP and society must go hand in hand."
The importance of staying grounded, leaving echo chambers, building diverse relationships, and appreciating colleagues.
Personal anecdotes from her 40-year career, including how real-life connections led to groundbreaking reports like "Kidneys for Sale."

This is a must-watch for all Iskolar ng Bayan, aspiring communicators, and anyone seeking wisdom on integrity, public service, and the true meaning of an empowered Filipino.
