PUBLIC SPEAKING
COLLEGE FACULTY GATHERING
A pleasant afternoon to everyone. I’m glad that each one of you made your way to attend in this gathering. University of the Philippines became my second home since I started working here. The teachers and staffs have been my brothers and teachers and the students have been my knees and nephews. As a Dean of this University, it is my duty and responsibility to take care of this school just like my real home. I would like to grab this chance to tell you my plans for this University in the upcoming school year 2007-2008.
First, I want to improve the facilities in the students’ restrooms all over the University. I notice that some of the toilets won’t flush and some of the faucets are dysfunctional. Next is the expansion of the library, this summer we will be receiving new copies of the latest editions of some reference books from the government but we have limited spaces. I know that this books are very useful to the students as their references especially for their research works, thesis, home works, assignments, projects and so much more. The last is, the putting of fountain stations in each building in the University including the high school. We have the right to safety and water these times are not that safe at all, it would be much better and safer if students drink in the fountain for free than buy an ice water for fifty cents and later gets diarrhea.
I limit my plans into three, but actually I still want so many things to be improve in the University like the buildings, the grounds and so much more, if only we have the budget. As of for now, the budget we have is just enough for those plans that I have just stated a few minutes ago. Perhaps with TOFI, it is not impossible to put these plans into reality. Thank you and good afternoon.
