Senator Loren Legarda urged New Era University (NEU) graduates to serve the Filipino people guided by the virtues of faith, hope, and love during the university’s 50th anniversary commencement at the Philippine Arena.
She emphasized that faith is more than belief—it requires action and selfless service, while loving oneself is essential to genuinely love and serve others.
Legarda also highlighted hope as a discipline grounded in faith and action, inspiring her to champion landmark environmental laws despite initial opposition.
Reflecting on her legislative work, she stressed the importance of foresight and responsibility in protecting the Filipino people and the environment.
Legarda concluded by encouraging graduates to stand firm for dignity, human rights, education, and healthcare, reminding them that hope comes from the strength within to create positive change.
