My daughter earns a degree!

Congratulations! You deserved it, like all people from UP they are all "iskolar" ng bayan so they have the debt to pay the country? I hoped, though I'm not one from UP I feel the duty. I was also the Iskolar of PGMA before and having been there in EDSA 2 in 2001 it feels as if the government repaid me I mean the Arroyo admin. I was a Iskolar for one year in my Bachelor's degree during that time I was a volunteer teacher for Gawad Kalinga in the neighboring municipalities of Misamis Oriental especially those in the hinterland part and when I graduated I got a teacher exchange offer from North Carolina from the U.S.A but I did not push through at that time my Mother was fighting TB and pneumonia,I said I'm going to work here in the Philippines for a couple of years as a private tutor for students who mostly come from Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan. Until now two years after I'm still here few meters from a Jesuit university waiting for students to arrive for their tutorial which is after their class. I hope your daughter will impart something too in this country and not to go abroad immidiately. Best Regards!

Congratulations to you and your daughter! I hope she has a brilliant and successful future!

Congratulations tita eileenleyva! I hope I could make my parents proud when I graduate! I still have three years to go, I'm going to be in second year college this coming June. I have a classmate in UP Diliman and he told me that studying in UP is really hard. Once again, I have to congratulate your daughter and you again!

Wow!!!, University of the Philippines graduate; more than being a proud mom. Your daughter is truly and indeed an intelligent one because from the start of her registration to that university is like entering a trial court analyzing her to be chosen as one of the acquitted to graduate in the end. Congratulations !!! SUCCESS is already reached after the long journey of struggle.

congratulations to your daughter who have surpassed the years of studying in that prestigious university and also congratulations to you eileen for having supported your daughter in her education and her endeavors. :)

In my own opinion, every parent who sees their kid finishing and earning a degree are very proud ones. When I graduated in college, my 2 brothers were confined in the hospital because of the Dengue outbreak in the Philippines. But, I saw my mother in tears while she was escorting me as I receive my diploma. Congratulations to your daughter! You are such a proud mother!

Congratulations to your daughter (and also to her proud mama!) I've never been lucky enough to be able to attend any of my convocations (some personal problem arises and I can't make it). I've had my certificates posted home. Though my parents are proud of me (especially with my last accomplishment ...lots of hard work raising a family, working and studying)...they would have loved to be there at a graduation ceremony. OH well! Maybe I can try once more and get another degree :P

Hearty Congratulations dear Eileenleyva on getting a degree by your daughter from the University of Philippines! I should Congratulate your daughter too on achieving this success and making you a proud parent! You need and deserve all the compliments for your upbringing, guidance and timely advises to make her grow as a responsible and wise student to have attained the Degree from the University! I can understand the feelings and happiness one can experience at this moment as my son also graduated an an Engineer and I too underwent through the same feelings as you are going right now! Some times I feel the time passes so quickly and fast, that it was hard for me to believe that my son who was a kid got graduated! This is something like feeling of the mother bird when the young ones they start learn how to fly independently for their survival! I think this is the first step of weaning in their life! Thanks for starting such a nice and positive response and you made my mood and I am really in the state of happy mood now, having suffered bit ill health yesterday! All the best to you and your beloved daughter!

Hi. eileenleyva. Congratulations to your daughter! I hope that she excels and reaches for the stars as much as she can! I know that you are one proud mother and this achievement of your daughter's has pleased you greatly. I know that you are so proud of her!!! My daughter will be graduating from Head Start in another two more weeks. She will be going to first grade. I can't wait until she graduates too. I can understand how you may be feeling right now! Congrats to your daughter and cheers to you for being a proud, supportive and loving mother.

How proud mother you must be! Your daughter earned her much coveted degree and from a University! Congratulations! I wish you daughter more blessings to come so that you will continue to be a happy mother. God bless you and your whole family!

Congratulations, to you and you daughter. You obviously have done a fine job raising you daughter to be a responsible young lady. I am in college, a senior, and will be graduating soon. I am looking forward to that grand day. Young ladies are now taking the college campuses by storm; most of my classes are filled with females. The professor made a commit about how, in the future, women will be in positions that men now have because the men have stop going to college. Again, congratulation to all.

Congratulatinns. I understand how much happy you are. Every mothers have dreams about their children. they will be happy when their dream comes true. I believe behiend her success there may be your hardwork and hard work.

Congrats to u. I'm sure u must be very proud of your daughter as it's not easy to be a degree holder. Her hard work has finally paid off along with your patience and hard earned money in seeing her go so far in life. My brother should be graduating soon as well, and he will be the first degree holder in the family. Is your daughter the first in the family too?

Hi Ms. Eileen! Congratulations! Any mom in your position would be very happy. I hope that these people's scholars would be able to serve their own country rather than be tempted to the big salaries abroad. I saw the interview of the SummaCum Laude John Gabriel Pelias, who got one of the highest grade in the history of UP, he said that he is ready to give back to the country and institution that supported his academic pursuits by teaching at his alma mater when classes resume in June. I hope his fellow batch mates would do the same.

Wow! It is a great news! I can feel your joy. When the children grow up and graduate from school with good achievement, their parents shall be so happy to it. My child is very little now. I hope one day I can be proud of him, too:) I love China

Dear friend, My hearty congratulations...This just reminded me of the day when I became graduate. It was really something precious movement in my life for me and my parents. I could taste that feeling how much a mother would get when her daughter attains a graduation.

Congratulations! It takes hardwork and lots of sleepless hours to get that degree. :) I'm sure your daughter will go places. Best of luck! :)

congratulation! Your daughter should be proud of what she achieved, and she did graduate. What a wonderful day and ready for the next step for her life, isn't she? I remember when I graduated from college, I was excited too. Now, I am working, and I hope that I can do something greater. You are definitely one proud mother.

Congratulations! My boss is like you, her daughter also graduated in UP yesterday. She was one of the cumlaude and her course, i think, is Foreign Languages. Yes, she told us to that the President is their guest and their tradition too. She was very proud and happy, maybe I will too if I we're in your place. The entrance examination for one is very difficult and only few student could enter the university. By having your daughter to graduate in a prestigious school here in the Philippines is something that all mothers would want. I'm sure that they will be sought after by big companies. Goodluck to your daughter, I know she will have a brighter future!

Congratulations to you and your daughter! :) yep, your daughter has just made an outstanding achievement :) Not everybody graduates as an iskolar ng bayan :) Every graduate takes pride on that. i imagine your daughter's delight, cause my mom said the same thing to me when I graduated in the same university 2 years ago ;) Congratulations to all graduates and congratulations to all Iskolar ng bayan :) !!!
