In Conversation with the Outstanding UP Alumni Awardees, part 3 Friday, August 22, 2025 Pearls of wisdom, shaped by the experiences of our alumni awardees Break the cycle of poverty - offer a helping hand with no strings attached. Only you can pave your road to success - but sometimes, a bit of support can make all the difference. Dream big, but don't be afraid to take risks. Of course, hard work and perseverance always pay off. Be your best and others will notice. Prove your worth with humility and you will earn lasting respect. Don't be afraid to explore new paths - and welcome the friends and collaborators you meet along the way.
