TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:
In every journey or race, the homestretch is and will always prove the hardest. This is the law on attrition. The constant pressure and physical exhaustion, coupled with the stress brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, will wear you out, drain all your energy, shatter your determination and will into pieces and, in fact, at some point during the examinations, you will feel like quitting, but lo and behold, you have reached this far, a point where there is no more turning back. Continue surging forward with no surrender; regroup if necessary. Muster all your strength for the FINAL PUSH. Your determination today will define your place in the society for the rest of your life.
~Judge Homer Jay Ragonjan
