1. Why did you come to the Ateneo?

I came to Ateneo because it teaches the values of becoming a man for

others. It hones students to live life to its fullest and do things in Magis
always. Success is being taught not to be a personal ideology but a form of
contributing to others in large. Likewise, Ateneo, particularly its Law School, is
the best source of education in the country. The best teachers are in this
school. Thus, I am very grateful to be in this school.
2. The mission of the Ateneo Law School is to prepare its students to learn the
law, serve the people. In light of this mission, what kind of lawyers do we
want to produce?
As far as I am concerned, I want the Ateneo to produce Commercial and
Corporate Lawyers. Commercial and Corporate Lawyers often dictate the way
transactions go about and as a whole how the economy moves on. For me,
the economy of the country will be the best source of human rights and the
means to serve the people. If people are having jobs due to a strong
economy and through the jobs are able to enjoy a good standard of living
then being an Atenean Commercial and Corporate Lawyer is the best way to
be.
3. How does your organization contribute to this mission?
The KAPWA organization is a form of a training ground teaching how to deal
with commerce as a whole through its projects like the Honesty Store where
the law students buy the goods personally from the dealers and thinks of the
proper prices to sell the same in school effectively. Afterwards, the proceeds
go to the selected charitable organization which in turn teaches the law
students to learn to be giving and work for the benefit of others.
4. What kind of programs and activities will help us achieve those objectives?
Currently, the KAPWAs most notable activity is the Honesty Store. As I have
mentioned, the same teaches how commerce can be used to serve others.
