John B. Lacson prepared me to adapt confidently in global settings while maintaining professionalism and integrity. These experiences eventually helped shape my perspective as a businessman involved in diverse industries where leadership, operational efficiency, and people management are equally important."
⚓ What value did John B. Lacson teach you that you hold dear in your maritime journey?
"One of the greatest values that John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation instilled in me is discipline grounded in integrity. In the maritime profession, discipline is vital because every action carries responsibility not only for yourself but also for the safety and welfare of others.
I also learned the importance of perseverance and humility—understanding that success is achieved through hard work, continuous learning, and respect for people from all walks of life. These lessons remain invaluable to me both as a professional and as an entrepreneur."
