nyay, napaka-bitter naman ng atenistang 'to. Buti pa si LaSallian genx77, natutuwa sa achievement ng pinoy!

anyway, you're right im_atheneo, it's a magic for the Filipinos!

Congrats UST, make Philippines proud.

I'm happy to hear this type of news. though i'm not from UST. :)

angelo suarez won his first palanca at 18. at 19 he has accomplished even more.

i hope he will succeed further. at sana, huwag lumaki ang ulo niya. sometimes, people who achieve early are unable to sustain their success when they get older.

i am happy suarez made it. he will certainly do better in the years to come.

[Thoma§]

angelo is really good, even his classmates (most of them on low-profile).

i'm not from literature though (because i'm from journalism) but i really admire the department. especially maam susana macapagal, the woman who made me love literature amid the technical dictates of journalism. ;)

congratulations to the ust! make this country proud.

kudos, 2011 is approaching.

Oh my GOD! Sunod-sunod ang pag-ariba ni Angelo Suarez, ha? Dati USTetika lang, then Palanca, ngayon UNESCO naman.
