Jean Adeline T. Bendicion

BS Management - Honors

A fine epitomy of a true Filipina (although she’s pure Chinese), Adel possessed the perfect mix of productivity, courage, assertiveness and resilience. And that’s a tiny part of who she is. She’s definitely the mysterious person we will want to know more about. There’s definitely more to that angelic face.

Karina Kellda M. Centeno

BS Management - Honors

Hard-working, smart and responsible student leader. Party planner, glamorous dresser and shopaholic. It’s hard being just one of these, but Kellda makes both look so easy. Impossible is nothing was her motto before Adidas ripped it off.

Kellda has long astounded us with feats of style (running in heels!), strength (winning the fun run!), and substance (debating to death!). She can outeat, outdrink, outwit and outlast plenty of people, including the guys. Although some may find this intimidating, beyond the steely confidence and razor-sharp mind lies a girl with charm, grace and humor. Those who stay long enough around Kellda to find this out are highly rewarded with her friendship.

A killer debate president and an adroit player in the academic arena, we will miss the stressed-out-give-everything-her-all-girl that leaves us all running in the dust behind her (literally).

Celine L. Cruz

BS Management - Honors

Celine is often misunderstood. People usually think that she’s mataray, unapproachable and witchy with a capital “B” but the truth is, she really is all of these things—if you’re not lucky enough to have found yourself on her good side! And if you are on that good side, you will learn that Celine is really a true friend who you can count on for anything. She is generous with her time, patience and friendship.

Celine also has an amazing appreciation for all things beautiful and this trait has earned her the title of “hoarder” because if she loves something, she’ll buy as much of it as she can.

But aside from all these things, Celine is determined to do anything and everything she can, and do it all well, I might add. She dedicates herself to everything she thinks is worthy of her time and effort.

Celine is smart, beautiful, responsible, sociable and just about everything good you can say about a girl you wouldn’t even expect to be where she is now.

Jonathan C. Pua

BS Management - Honors

With an expansive smile and an equally liberal laugh, Jonathan looks like he can keep going with what function and responsibility he has next. True enough, few people can compare to Jonathan’s drive and determination to succeed and even fewer can do what he does everyday, with the focus and definite leadership that he displays every step of the way. Along with his unfaltering dedication to achieve is his staunch capacity to take others with him and to better them as well. Jo is infectious enough to make other people work better and faster and even more contagious in transferring the devotion, poise and the confidence of success to others. People follow and trust Jo for his fortitude and his diligence; but perhaps more important is that people respect him for his talent make others better.

Stephanie Ann C. Soon

BS Management - Honors

Steph is a hardworking and determined individual who never gives up in the face of difficulties. She will never say no to a challenge and will always keep on learning to be able to accomplish her goal. She will always give her best and will not stop unless she has achieved her goal. But despite her attitude to continually achieve in life, she never forgets to stop and take a moment to enjoy life and to find happiness in just the littlest things.

Kristine Joanne C. Tang

BS Management - Honors

According to Albert Einstein: “If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z where X is work, Y is play and Z is keep your mouth shut.” But Kristine will definitely prove Einstein wrong, because even if this girl can’t keep her mouth shut, she has what it takes to make it to the top. Kristine’s brilliant mind combined with her sweet and warm personality makes her one amazing and fabulous person. Always with a smile on her face, she can light up anyone’s day especially when she starts laughing that loud and contagious laughter of hers. Tin, as her friends call her, is the type of person you can easily talk to and feel comfortable with even if you have just met her. The most admirable quality of Kristine, though, is how she stays humble despite all the achievements and prestige she deservingly earned over the years. She is still a simple girl who loves 3 simple things: eating, sleeping and talking. This and her fondness of vinegar, nuts, taro ice cream and Purpley are what makes her a weird yet normal person like the rest of us.
