Not Graduates of Top 10 Philippine Schools but impressed you

[SirZap]

One of my Law Professor is an Accounting Graduate of UE (Cum Laude). I forgot where he took his Law Studies but he is definitely not from UP. He is not a graduate from the college where I attended but definitely he has his respects to former President Ramon Magsaysay Sr. who is an alumnus of our school.

He once shared an anecdote about some graduates who are proud of their Alma Mater, that while he was conversing with a UP graduate who is proud of their Alumni particularly who served the Goverment he retorted that "look where our country is now". :bop:

He respects graduates from UP, but definitely disapproves anyone equating success just because you are just a graduate from a certain (top) school. He said "In the real world, you have to prove yourself".

I have a friend, also a graduate of UE who is now an Asst. VP in a bank at 30 years old. This guy definitely impressed me. I heard other stories graduates coming from an unknown school but able to take some coveted positions, or even owning their own businesses.

How about yours? Do you have any? *peace*

[tryxe]

actually it's not the school it's the student's hardwork and intelligence that will make him/her successful in life...


my cousin a mapuan is now vp in citibank singapore and her husband???
an ADMU graduate has a lower positon than her...

[markfroilan]

miriam grads, assumption grads also ring hype of success sa opisina namin, kaya kudos sa kanilang upbringing

[clej]

my cousin is a graduate of Central Colleges of the Philippines and he is now holding a high position at san miguel corp. i think VP level na yata.

Of course, success (in monetary terms) is open to everyone in a democratic and capitalist-driven economy such as the Philippines. Take it that two of the three richest Filipinos living in the Philippines are FEU graduates. The other one did not attend college in the Philippines.

Someone from peyups.com counted the number of UP alumni in the list of the Richest Asians according to Forbes Magazine and it came out that only 14 of the 40 were UP alumni or persons who can claim an association with UP.

However, I would argue that success is not always referred to monetary terms. Other forms of success are political related and family and academic related. Pwede rin love related. :D

If you would narrow down your benchmark schools to the Big-3 (UP, DLSU, AdMU), as they are the only obvious fountains and mines for successful people, I would include Jun Lozada in my list of successful Filipinos. Hindi Chinoy ok? :D



However, success is more accessible to UP grads as the school is designed to bread future leaders. It is perhaps the only school in the Philippines with such mission. So if you want to increase your chances of becoming successful or maintaining that status cause you already are, go to UP. But AdMU and DLSU are excellent alternatives.

[letsrockandroll]

^^ Jun Lozada is from UST FYI, he is an ECE graduate of The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, which is included in the top 4 Universities in the philippines.

just my two cents.

[_ozzakii]

I stand corrected. I thought Mr. Luzada is from Ateneo.

Engr.Tony Tan Caktiong the owner of Jollibee is a Thomasian Engineer
Engr. Ezmendi, the chief architect sa pagalaki ng San Miguel Corporation is a Thomasian Engineer
Engr. Velasquez, the President of IBM Philippines is a Thomasian Engineer
Engr. Gina Navarette, the General Manager of Red Ribbon is a Thomasian Engineer.

Iilan pa lang yan.

whew ang hangin dito ah :)

Henry Sy is from FEU
Lucio Tan is fr UE

My point? STOP BEING AN ELITE CHAUVINIST OZZAKII

wag nyo na lang yan pansinin. Insecure lang yan.

Student ka pa lang ba o propesyunal na? Have u seen the working industry already? Buksan mo ang iyong mga mata hindi lang sa UP, ateneo at laSalle umiikot ang industriya ng PINAS.

ironically most of the people in your list ended up being successful in fields different from their undergraduate major. which actually makes you question just how much their alma mater has helped them at all...

***

also, in considering the top 10, we should look at period differences. UE and FEU were probably the ADMU, UP or DLSU of their time.

What did Henry Sy finish at FEU?i dunnow so anyone can answer
What did Lucio Tan finish fr UE?i dunnow so anyone can answer

So Ateneo since 1859, UP since 1908, DLSU since 1911,UST 1611 arent prestigious during your so called UE and FEU bygone era's?

i dont think so.

The point is, it wouldnt merit where one graduates from. and still i believe their alma mater helped them alot.

What ozzakii was pointing out is the possibility of your success in life if and when you graduate from his Elite list of 3 only schools to which some replies before me states "not a guarantee". Its Ozakii's Elite chauvinism, unreliable source, and questionable anonimity that my predecessors are gawking about(for all I know gawa gawa lang yan ng identity dito sa cyberspace)

[Rambus]

Henry Sy earned an Associate degree from FEU. Lucio Tan owns UE but did not study there. He studied Chemical Engineering at FEU, but did not earn a degree.

When all of your schooling is completed, it is OK to be proud of what you know. But do not forget what you don't know, because that should be what you will try to learn outside school.

I wouldn't REALLY say the schools themselves "breed" successful people, but rather that those who are intent to become very successful (or who have what it takes to become one) tend to end up at the Big-3 schools.

Apart from that, there's also a popular practice for the already successful people to send their children to the Big-3 schools.

Let's look at it this way: if you're from Forbes-Dasma, Corinthians Gardens, Ayala Heights, La Vista, Tierra Pura Green Meadows and the like, would you really want to go to a school like UST when you can get into UP, AdMU or DLSU?? :naughty:

[hacksaw]

Tomasian Jun Lozada did the right thing. He sent his kids to LaSalle. :D

[RougePercer]

The 4th billionnaire in the Philippines is from UE.

Ayala - (unknown)
Henry Sy - FEU
Lucio Tan - FEU
Andrew Tan - UE

^ The 2 Ayalas are both Harvard educated. They both went to Harvard for undergrad (Economics) and grad school. The older of the two siblings went to HBS. The wife of the younger sibling (Kitkat Silverio Zobel) went to UP Diliman and is one of the donors of UP Manila.

[letsrockandroll]

for grade school and High school


then UST for college

parang si Jun, LSGH, High school, then off to UST :)

diyos mio, i know some people who lives in Corinthians Gradens, Ayala heights, La vista et.al who send their children to study in UST. :bop:

[_ozzakii]

^ Perhaps there are a few legit residents of those posh villages you mentioned that ended up studying at UST, but the question here is, were those students admitted at their top choice schools such as UP, AdMU and DLSU? I certainly doubt that anyone of them had.

Again, don't get me wrong. I think UST is a good school. But it is not as good as any of the Big-3 school by any measure. It's just as good for anyone who is not a Big-3 material but still good. End of the discussion.

I don't think that Mr. Jun Lozada studied elementary or high school in La Salle. He's just a probensyanong intsek. :D

bro Mike Velarde. - FEATI UNIVERSITY

[markfroilan]

I think what ozakkii wants to reiterate is the quantity of the students choice of tertiary institution, to which in his point of view on ly circles in his so called big 3. and to which my reply is , "Yes we already know, why do you always keep on rubbing it in? Same old swan song, how predictable"

[clej]

let's stay on topic please. this thread is for the prominent graduates of school that is not considered in the top 10 schools in the Philippines.

[lebron_paul]

si Tony Tan Caktiong graduate lang siya sa UST pero ang yaman-yaman na nya ngayon. Namana nya yata ito sa mga magulang nya kaya ang suwerte rin nung tao.

[clej]

si tony tan caktiong mismo ang nagtayo ng jollibee at hindi nya ito namana sa mga magulang niya. jollibee started as a magnolia ice cream house beside coronet theater in cubao. nag se-serve sila ng humburger on the side. lately, mas marami na ang umo-order ng burger nila kesa sa ice cream and the rest as they say is history.

swerte lang ng karamihan na yan... mayaman nang isinilang.

di ako naniniwala sa eskwela

[rebel_heart]

marami rin namang students/graduates from other schools na magagaling talaga at nakikilala pa worldwide,,, saka depende yan sa course.. like sa nursing, maraming schools na mas magagaling kesa sa nabanggit niyo,.

everything depends sa tao..wag maging mayabang!

i think di naman talaga sa school yan eh... sa Business... breaks of the game kung tawagin yan... swertihan and chinese brothers natin ok dyan kasi super matyaga sila at masinop... as for IT grads yup the Big 3 schools top the HR's list of future employees pero sa mga gitna may mga taga PUP, AMA, TIP, Arellano atbp na talagang magagaling and love their careers kaya sila asensado...

all in all nasa tao din yun... kahit grad ka ng big 3 schools pero tamad ka at mayabang pupulutin ka sa kangkungan... pero kung nde naman kilala skul mo pero you push for your own success aba malayo mararating mo di lang sa Pinas pati ibang bansa...

lastly i wana react sa mga sinabi nyo na UE and FEU are not top schools during 70's era... i dont think so... kasabayan nila ang Beda, Baste, UST, Ateneo, Adamson at Assumption dati as go to schools ng mga rich and famous... UP sobrang institusyon na sa ganyang field lalo na sa Law... ang mga bago pa lang na pasibol during the late 80's ay DLSU at UA&P...

[felsina_yapteng]

So Ateneo since 1859, UP since 1908, DLSU since 1911,UST 1611 arent prestigious during your so called UE and FEU bygone era's?

i dont think so



My mom is from Nueva Ecija, "probinsiyana" but she studied in St. Scho Manila for the commerce degree and PWU for Interior Designing. My mom is from "hardworking middle clas" family. And her siblings are three CPA's from UE, a teacher from PNU, dentist from CEU and a Medical Doctor from UST. Lahat sila matalino and okay naman ang naging career nila.

My point is during their time dahil sa province sila hindi ko alam kung aware sila na may Ateneo at La Salle or hindi pa iyon ang trend. Pero sa generation namin ng mga cousins ko Ateneo and La Salle saka UST at Mapua like in my case we are 6, 5 of us went to La Salle and the other one went to UST for Achitecture (wala kasi sa La Salle)

As for the success, hanggang ngayon harworking middle class pa din kami, pero sabi nga ng mom ko ang pinakamalaking success sa kanya is to have a successful marriage and establish a very good FAMILY, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero kinaiinggitan kami for that.

=======================

I am a Certified Public Accountant and I've worked for SGV for a year and I could say na maraming magaling na CPAs from PUP, UE and FEU.

I am also a Registered Nurse, after SGV I decided to study Nursing and now I am working in hospital here in US. I Studied in Metropolitan Hospital (i do not know if you know the school) pero kung hindi niyo alam kung saan 'yon i bet mas lalong hindi niyo alam kung saan nag-aral ang mga co-nurses ko na Pinoy but then parepareho kami ng work at ng salary bracket so in that case hindi talaga importante ang school.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Conclusion:
If you don't have the budget for Ateneo or La Salle I suggest you study courses with board exams or courses for specialized skills.

Why? I am renting a place for 750USD quiete high for ordinary earner as a nurse medyo mababa pa per month pero ang kapit bahay ko Pinoy welder also paying the same rent. WALA LANG...!!!

hehehe like you nag nursing ako after working, hahaha may mga kakilala din ako from SGV kasi same building kami before.

My future yata sa welding eh, kasi kaysa tumambay ka pwede ka kumiita, yung anak ng helper namin nagaral lang sa TESDA tapos ngayon nagtratrabaho sa Palawan 1K per day ang net babae yun ha.

[ic3mint]

Carlos Ejercito (UE) - President and CEO of Unilab
Manuel Lopez (UE) - Chairman and President of Meralco, Rockwell, Benpres Holdings, etc..

but i would say that Andrew Tan, also from UE impresses me the most...

he used to eat banana que for lunch while he was still studying in UE, he did not even have money for his transportation fare way back then..

he graduated magna cum laude..

and now he is the 4th richest filipino...the owner of megaworld corp. empire east realty (developer of eastwood city,laguna bel-air and others), fundador, and the major stockholder of mcdonald's philippines..

list the top ten schools first, then i'll answer.

I agree with zzprodigy24.. also for me.. hindi nmn basis kung u got rich and build up a company (though it's nice).. the most important is.. are you happy and contented on what you're doing.. i dunno.. ***** ko lang kc n-realize that money is not everything (though it's necessity).. i got nice salary but deep inside i'm not happy kc i want more (career) challenge..

[lor3nz3]

wrong info...sorry

[TUrtleBot]

Not Graduates of Top 10 Philippine Schools but impressed you?

then list the top 10 schools..
pero sa nababasa ko yung iba hindi ngbabasa ng title eh.. hehehe.

peace..

pero kay Manny ako hehehe..
pero sa Ateneo sia ngayon dba?.. hehehe..

Lahat ng tanungin mo na successful na pinoy
(puera lang po yung puro hangin ha? maari but not that great.. sorry..)
they might say na.. wala talaga sa school..
kung aasa ka sa school mo..
at di ka kumikilos para sa sarili mo..
umpisahan mo ng mamalimos..

at hindi lahat ng tagumpay nasa posisyon ng upo at pitaka..

yung ineenjoy mo yung ginagawa mo (mabuti,marangal,makabuluhan)
eh masasabi nang success...

pero ang totoong success in my view,
is to know His Purpose for you..

Engr. Diosdado Banatao
A three-time start-up veteran, he co-founded Mostron (PC Motherboards), Chips and Technologies (PC Chip Sets, eventually acquired by Intel), and S3 Graphics (originally 2D graphics chips, renamed to SonicBLUE). It is Silicon Valley folklore that he chose the company name S3 to mean "Start-up number 3".

He worked on the following technologies as have several hundred other engineers and does not claim having invented or innovated any of these technologies.

1. First single-chip, 16-bit microprocessor-based calculator (while at Commodore in 1976. Note: The first single-chip 16-bit microprocessor was the 1976 TMS 9900 by Texas Instruments. Texas Instrument also came with the first pocket calculator in 1972. Was Commodore the first to come up with the single-chip 16-bit calculator?)
2. First 10-Mbit Ethernet CMOS with silicon coupler data-link control and transreceiver chip; got 3Com into the Ethernet PC add-in card business (while at Seeq in early 1980s)
3. First system logic chip set for the PC-XT and the PC-AT (while at Mostron in 1984 and Chips and Technologies in 1985)
4. First enhanced graphics adapter chip set (while at Chips and Technologies in 1985)
5. Pioneered local bus concept for PC (while at S3 in 1989)
6. First Windows accelerator chip (while at S3 in 1990)- This is debatable.
7. Chips and Technologies - initially acquired by Intel, now an Asilent Telechnologies brand.

He is a managing partner of Tallwood Venture Capital. Prior to Tallwood he was a venture partner with the Mayfield Fund. He has served on the board of directors and as chairman of several emerging companies, including Marvell Technology Group, NewPort Communications (acquired by Broadcom), and Cyras Systems (acquired by Ciena Corporation).

Banatao holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology in the Philippines and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Stanford University.
