Jean Adeline T. Bendicion

BS Management - Honors

A fine epitomy of a true Filipina (although she’s pure

Chinese), Adel possessed the perfect mix of productivity,
courage, assertiveness and resilience. And that’s a tiny part
of who she is. She’s definitely the mysterious person we
will want to know more about. There’s definitely more to
that angelic face.

Karina Kellda M. Centeno

BS Management - Honors

Hard-working, smart and responsible student leader. Party

planner, glamorous dresser and shopaholic. It’s hard being
just one of these, but Kellda makes both look so easy.
Impossible is nothing was her motto before Adidas ripped
it off.

Kellda has long astounded us with feats of style (running

in heels!), strength (winning the fun run!), and substance
(debating to death!). She can outeat, outdrink, outwit and
outlast plenty of people, including the guys. Although some
may find this intimidating, beyond the steely confidence
and razor-sharp mind lies a girl with charm, grace and
humor. Those who stay long enough around Kellda to find
this out are highly rewarded with her friendship.

A killer debate president and an adroit player in the

academic arena, we will miss the stressed-out-give-
everything-her-all-girl that leaves us all running in the dust
behind her (literally).

Celine L. Cruz
BS Management - Honors

Celine is often misunderstood. People usually think that

she’s mataray, unapproachable and witchy with a capital
“B” but the truth is, she really is all of these things—if you’re
not lucky enough to have found yourself on her good side!
And if you are on that good side, you will learn that Celine is
really a true friend who you can count on for anything. She
is generous with her time, patience and friendship.

Celine also has an amazing appreciation for all things

beautiful and this trait has earned her the title of “hoarder”
because if she loves something, she’ll buy as much of it as
she can.

But aside from all these things, Celine is determined to do

anything and everything she can, and do it all well, I might
add. She dedicates herself to everything she thinks is worthy
of her time and effort.

Celine is smart, beautiful, responsible, sociable and just

about everything good you can say about a girl you wouldn’t
even expect to be where she is now.

Jonathan C. Pua
BS Management - Honors

With an expansive smile and an equally liberal laugh,

Jonathan looks like he can keep going with what function
and responsibility he has next. True enough, few people can
compare to Jonathan’s drive and determination to succeed
and even fewer can do what he does everyday, with the
focus and definite leadership that he displays every step of
the way. Along with his unfaltering dedication to achieve
is his staunch capacity to take others with him and to
better them as well. Jo is infectious enough to make other
people work better and faster and even more contagious
in transferring the devotion, poise and the confidence
of success to others. People follow and trust Jo for his
fortitude and his diligence; but perhaps more important is
that people respect him for his talent make others better.

Stephanie Ann C. Soon

BS Management - Honors

Steph is a hardworking and determined individual who

never gives up in the face of difficulties. She will never say
no to a challenge and will always keep on learning to be
able to accomplish her goal. She will always give her best
and will not stop unless she has achieved her goal. But
despite her attitude to continually achieve in life, she never
forgets to stop and take a moment to enjoy life and to find
happiness in just the littlest things.

Kristine Joanne C. Tang

BS Management - Honors

According to Albert Einstein: “If A equals success, then

the formula is: A = X + Y + Z where X is work, Y is play
and Z is keep your mouth shut.” But Kristine will definitely
prove Einstein wrong, because even if this girl can’t keep
her mouth shut, she has what it takes to make it to the
top. Kristine’s brilliant mind combined with her sweet and
warm personality makes her one amazing and fabulous
person. Always with a smile on her face, she can light up
anyone’s day especially when she starts laughing that
loud and contagious laughter of hers. Tin, as her friends
call her, is the type of person you can easily talk to and
feel comfortable with even if you have just met her. The
most admirable quality of Kristine, though, is how she
stays humble despite all the achievements and prestige
she deservingly earned over the years. She is still a simple
girl who loves 3 simple things: eating, sleeping and talking.
This and her fondness of vinegar, nuts, taro ice cream and
Purpley are what makes her a weird yet normal person like
the rest of us.
