The economy of our country lies in your hands - Modesta Javier, former principal of Rizal High School

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal High School, Pasig City  July 21, 2013

 

Mr. Demy Hernandez made a presentation which featured the graduation pictures of Class 68.

The start of the presentation featured the Message from the principal then, Ms. Modesta Javier, the iron lady of RHS at that time. She was a disciplinarian and stickler for time. You must be in the campus by 7:30 otherwise the gates will be closed and will open at 8:30 and you will be late for your first class.

She said that, in the second paragraph of her message:   "Our country's economy is your hands"

This reminds me of the graffiti in the men's cr which mentions the same message, albeit in a green way "The future of the country lies in what you are holding now" The graffiti goes a step further by emphasizing that tools and skills are important in this endeavor.

How true.
