Speech: Ciencia y Virtud


Does anyone know what ciencia y virtud means? It means science and virtue. Science, of which we study living and non-living things. Science is knowledge itself, and is considered as academic excellence. Virtue, on the other hand, is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Virtue is moral excellence. Both of which should apply to every Escolarian.

Having the motto “Ciencia y Virtud”, Centro Escolar University paves its way to the top by instilling on their students, the Escolarians, the greatness in the world of science that their courses offered in their 3-branches namely CEU Mendiola, CEU Malolos and CEU Makati. They also teach their protégés how to value not only their school work and academics but also how they should think twice on how to act and what things to say which should be morally good. Centro Escolar University guarantees both academic and moral excellence.

Here in Centro Escolar University, I have acquired Science and Virtue which helped me to attain where I am today. Who would have thought that a simple motto of a university, that I often thought I’ll never use or never matter at all would help me in many aspects of my life? It pushed me to do my best, to strive, to study harder, to excel. It motivated me to do tiny charitable acts and simple acts of kindness day by day. It got me through the first two years of college.

May it be a good example, a motivator to you to push you throughout not only college life but in whatever way, in your everyday lives. Make science and virtue your motto, your mantra in life. Try your best to excel in both. Just remember these 3 words, ciencia y virtud.
