This is a video of Professor Winnie Monsod last lecture to her UP students. The video went viral given the reactions and comments from her former students, other UP grads, and Filipinos all over the world.
I take no offense to most of what she said because for one thing I am not a graduate of UP Diliman whose lecture I believe was meant for. Referring to all UP students:
"If you are going to help this country, you've got to be in the country. If any of you have little ambitions of going abroad so that you can earn more, please disabuse yourself, because by doing that you are essentially betraying the people in the Philippines who trusted you and who invested their money in you," she said.
The irony is most of our Philippine leaders came from UP and yet, look where we are now?
So much for that honor and excellence I guess!
