From his college graduation in 1995 with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, he has gone a long way. Let us get to know the man who we consider as a “true-blooded business tycoon”, Mr. Jeremie Janssen Sy Lo. “J Lo” as he is fondly called, is the son of Mr. Jaime D. Lo and Mrs. Rosario S. Lo, both of whom are successful entrepreneurs. He spent his basic education at the Saint Joseph School. Right after high school, he entered the portals of the University to earn his college degree. His chosen course matched the world he was born to…BUSINESS. At young age, he has held various significant positions in the familyowned business. So, while earning his degree in college, he was also meeting the demands from a young entrepreneur. Since 1992 until the present, he is the Vice President of Bicol JL Agri Corporation, a familyowned firm. This gave him the hands-on training in business career. From 2003 to the present, he is the President of Excelsure Marketing Corporation, and from 2007 to present, the President of Vast Agro Solutions Incorporated – Crop Protection, both of which are owned by their family. Within the bounds of his responsibility as a businessman, he has mastered various facets of entrepreneurship: from initiating innovations, to the application of strategies, ensuring profitability, and managing people. Indeed, this man has really proven his worth; that the path of success was not simply laid for him through these family businesses. Adding meaning to his endeavors is his own family. He is married to Ms. Meline Ngo Lo, also an alumna of the CBA. They are blessed with three wonderful children that complement their blissful married life. Aside from his noteworthy accomplishments in business, he has actively occupied positions in various major organizations. He is a member of both the Rotary Club of Naga and Junior Chamber International. From 2000 to 2002, he was the President of the Bicol Offroad Club and as Vice President for Luzon of the National Association of Filipino Off Roader. He was the President of the Camarines Sur Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 2010 – 2012, and the Regional Governor for Bicol of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 2012 – 2014. Aside from these private organizations, Mr. Lo is also involved in the public sector as Private Sectoral Representative for Camarines Sur in the Regional Development Council from 2012 to present. His numerous accomplishments make every UNCean proud and inspired. His life is indeed worthy of emulation and the College of Business and Accountancy takes pride in his success. To share 4 Tycoon June.indd 4 June 2013 8/29/13 11:30 AM his ideas and experiences, Mr. Lo was invited as a keynote speaker in the “CBA Magnate Awards” on March 8, 2013 where deserving UNCeans were recognized and awarded. Let us once again rekindle the encouraging words he has addressed the honorees. “To the University of Nueva Caceres administrators, faculty and staff, College of Business and Accountancy students, friends, ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I stand before you tonight, deeply honored and humbled of the invitation to give this keynote speech in this celebration of yours. Also I feel energized to be among these young people, so alive and full of power. It is always a pleasant experience to be with young people, the youth of today with so many ideas, so many dreams and a lot of promising talents. And with so much and so many things ahead of you, do not allow yourselves to be lost in this frenzy. Do not be swayed easily on what is “in” and what the majority are actually doing. Let us actually get to the real thing. And the real thing is, learning and taking the full advantage of your education. Your stay in this institution, mastering the skills and competencies will help you become leaders of this nation in the very near future. You will become tomorrow’s business leaders that will significantly contribute to the betterment of your respective communities. Our world is rapidly changing - and the changes affect every business, every industry and every country. The future of our country is in your hands. So much is expected from you. You should be able to meet the challenges ahead of you, both professionally and personally. It is not an easy task but I am confident that the values and theories that you learn from this school will be your armaments as you battle in real business world. As early as now, dream big. Be inspired to be the very best person that you can be. Do not settle for mediocrity. Always do things with passion and never forget your social responsibility. As a Filipino, as a Bicolano, you should always have that sense of patriotism, a renewed faith in our country, in our people. As an entrepreneur myself, I have had my share of valuable lessons in leadership and management. Everyday, I am faced with challenges that I believe are experiences that will make me really appreciate success in the truest sense of the word. In all these challenges and trying times, I am always amazed of how I am able to hurdle them by simply going back to what is real. The real thing means hardwork, passion for the things that I do and never ever compromise my principles. These I believe are some of the real things that we should all possess in order to make a difference. Again, good evening to all and thank you very much. Let’s get to the real thing… a mysterious line, a puzzling statement. These are just things that came to my mind upon reading your theme for this year’s CBA Day, going to the real thing.” Indeed, getting to the “real thing” is something everyone must start doing. College life is a wonderful stage of our lives that is full of great experiences and people. However, we must always bear in mind that “real” life awaits after we leave the portals of our university that served as our “comfort zone” for several years. We might have fully honed and utilized our potentials through the various activities within the campus and off-campus, but let us not forget that these are only our training grounds…a simulated battlefield that equips us with the various traits, strategies and skills to prepare for the world after college…our stepping stones towards success. This is clearly stated in our University Motto, Non Scholae, Sed Vitae, Not of School, But of Life. In the meantime, amidst the difficulties and challenges of finishing our degree, let us enjoy every moment as a student. Let the words of Mr. Lo ring in our ears, “And the real thing is learning and taking the full advantage of your education”. Let us seize every opportunity that comes our way to improve our being. What matters is not the number of trials that made us stumble, but the number of times we stood up and continued our journey. A very notable quote says, “Look well to this day. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well - lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day.” (Francis Gray, http:// www.entrepreneurskorner.com) Life of UNCean continues beyond graduation… extending to real world. Just like Mr. Jeremy Janssen S. Lo, let us become significant contributors to the society…the way a true-blooded tycoon should be. June 2013 Tycoon June.indd 5 5 8/29/13 11:30 AM CBA’s OUTSTANDING ALUMNUS… A SELF – MADE MAN Seeing a man who has gained huge recognition through his achievements, yet remaining humble and simple is very rare. This is what best describes Atty. Nelson M. Aspe, CPA. Atty. Aspe is currently a Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). From his humble beginnings, he rose to the top through hard work and dedication to public service. He entered UNC High School in 1969, which he finished as 5th honorable mention in 1973. He then took up his Bachelor of Science in Commerce Major in Accounting where he acquired the necessary knowledge and training in Accounting. His perseverance and competence paved way to his graduation in 1977 with flying colors. After passing the CPA Board Examinations, he joined the Guzman – Bocaling and Co., CPAs as a Senior Auditor, then he became a Junior Partner for V.M. Torres and Co., CPAs. Both stints gave him the necessary exposure and training in the private sector and in his chosen field. After a considerable time spent in private practice, he decided to join the government as an employee of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. He started as Revenue Enforcement Officer and rose to become Technical Assistant for the Office of the Commissioner, Assistant Chief of the Legal Division of BIR – San Pablo City and Group Supervisor of Caloocan District. Being a lawyer, his journey towards his career path did not stop there. He was promoted to Technical Assistant to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Legal and Inspection Group, then later as Chief of Staff for the Office of the Commissioner, Operations Group, and Regional Director for the Revenue District of Makati City. After years of hard work and dedication, his biggest break came in July 2007 when he was appointed as Deputy Commissioner until the present. Programs were initiated during his term. One of which was “Oplan Kandado Program”, involving closure of business establishments who do not comply with BIR laws and regulations. To add to his very impressive track record, Atty. Aspe is a member of the BIR VAT Review Committee, responsible 6 Tycoon June.indd 6 for the formulation of VAT-related regulations, ruling, memorandum orders and circulars since 1977, and is also a member of the drafting committee for important revenue regulations. He was assigned as the Philippine representative to the 2002 tax forum in Seoul, Korea. He was also sent as BIR head to the Study Visit to the Swedish Tax Agency and Statistics in Stockholm in 2008. During the same year, he headed the Philippine delegation in the Study Group for Asian Tax Administration and Research (SGATAR) in Guangzhou, China. His years of meaningful experience plus his competence in the taxation field proved to be his greatest assets that made his superiors confident to send him as head of the BIR delegation to Tokyo, Japan that took part in the discussion with Japanese tax officials relative to audit of large enterprises and selected industries. In November 2011, he again headed the Philippine delegation for the Study Group for Asian Tax Administration and Research in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. His knowledge, skills and unfaltering experience made him a favorite guest speaker to talk about his work and profession. Recently, he was invited to speak in the 67th PICPA Annual National Convention in Butuan City last November 28 to December 1, 2012. To honor this alumnus and to recognize his significant accomplishments, he was awarded by the University as Outstanding CPA in Government Service for 2011. Indeed, Atty. Aspe is a self-made man. From his humble beginnings within the walls of the University, he has strived and risen to where he is now…a man of courage, determination and honest public service. The following was the commencement speech delivered by Atty. Aspe to UNC High School Graduating Class 2013. May this give us inspiration to believe in ourselves more and try working for a fruitful and successful tomorrow. “When I received a text message from one of my former classmates in high school inviting me to speak before all of you today, I was both honored – and humbled. It is always a great honor to be asked to speak before young people such as yourselves – idealistic, hopeful and full of enthusiasm for the life ahead of you. I know you are so eager to begin a new phase in your life. What, indeed, can I share with you that can be of help to you as you write a new chapter in the story of your lives? Thinking back on the years since my own graduation from secondary schooling exactly forty years ago, I can say that life has taught me many lessons. So, with your indulgence, let us talk about what I like to call “Some Things Every Graduate Should Know About Life after High School”. 1. You may not find the perfect course in college. The next phase in life – college level - is a fiercely competitive environment, and there will be many other young people out there whom you will meet coming from other schools and places. They may have credentials as good – or maybe even better – than your own. But you must not, however, let this thought intimidate you. Every person has his or her own unique qualities, and it is your unique strengths that will set you apart from your peers. You may have to work very hard to find a place at the collegiate level, and it may not even be the course you really want. But you must always look at every aspect as an opportunity that will bring you closer to the goals you have set for yourself. Remember, success is usually more a matter of hard work, determination and commitment than luck. Do not be afraid of taking the hard road, of studying long hours, and even that of sacrificing a few weekends, as you build your careers in college. Many believe and agree that the goal achieved after many sacrifices and long hours of toil is definitely more fulfilling than the prize won through a stroke of luck. 2. Remember that what you have learned in school is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the knowledge that is out there. What you have learned within the walls of the school is not the sum total of all June 2013 8/29/13 11:30 AM knowledge in the fields you have chosen – it is merely intended to prepare you for the greater lessons of life. Education is a never-ending process because there will always be new concepts, new perspectives, new insights, that will change the landscapes of your chosen professions and open every sector of society to new developments. For instance, forty years ago, doing research meant spending days at the libraries, reading through dozens of books and journals, which at times are not accessible. Today, research means sitting in front of a computer and clicking on a mouse, while the marvels of information technology take us to websites created and maintained by people half a world away. All these changes in life as we know it are proof that we must never stop learning new things, and that we must always be open to new ideas and new approaches in our chosen fields. For, it is only the fool who thinks that he knows everything. 3. Eventually, you may land a job and when considering job offers, remember that not everything comes down to money. It is often far too easy to grab at a job prospect because of the tempting salary being offered. But while it is only natural for you to consider how much you will be paid for a job, you must also remember to take into consideration other factors, such as the kind of work that you will be asked to do, and whether you may – somewhere down the line – have to compromise your principles in order to get the job done. Remember that a good name and an honourable reputation are things that can never be bought, or measured in financial terms. Success that comes at the price of your self-respect and your values is no success at all. In the same manner, your health and well-being are far more valuable than any compensation package. No one can blame you for considering a job offer with a substantial salary – but just remember that success should also not come at the price of your health. After all, it would be a great shame if you were to end up spending your retirement benefits on a hospital stay, instead of on a relaxing vacation in a place that you’ve always wanted to visit. 4. And last, but certainly not least, always have conviction. Life will teach you that people ultimately have little respect for fence-sitters, those persons who never take a stand on issues, who never have the courage to speak up for what they believe in, who can never seem to make a decision, or who are content to follow other people’s opinions. It is, of course, understandable for you to seek the advice of your parents, relatives and friends – indeed, it always helps to consider different perspectives in an issue. But you must always be able to make a decision for yourself, taking into consideration what you know in your heart is best for you, and ultimately, what is the right thing to do. This builds character and helps you to face the challenges of life with courage and serenity. Remember that no one can live your life for you – it is you who must take responsibility for your life and the direction in which you will go. My dear graduates, I will be honest – life is always going to be challenging, especially now that you are about to become professionals, earn your own living, and make your own decisions as to what direction you wish to take in life. It is not an easy road by any account, but it is a road that I know, from personal experience, can bring you great fulfilment. All life asks of you is that you should have the courage and the commitment to live each day fully, and to give your best in everything you do, whether it be at work or at leisure. If there is one thing I will ask of you, it is to remember these very wise words of Pope Benedict XVI: “All people desire to leave a lasting mark. But what endures? Money does not. Even buildings do not, nor books. After a certain time, longer or shorter, all these things disappear. The only thing that lasts forever is the human soul, the human person created by God for eternity. The fruit that endures is therefore all that we have sown in human souls: love, knowledge, a gesture capable of touching hearts, words that open the soul to joy in the Lord. So let us go and pray to the Lord to help us bear fruit that endures. In everything you do, therefore, seek to fulfil the Will of God, and to be an instrument for His Plan of Love and Goodness for all mankind. In this way, your life will truly be a success. Congratulations, and may God bless us all.” Atty. Aspe emphasized the importance of the knowledge and training gained within the corners of this University. However, one must grab the opportunities offered by the world outside. Our college degree is but a key to open the doors of success. To quote a line from his speech, “Remember that what you have learned in school is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the knowledge that is out there.” Prospects are just waiting to be tapped. All we have to do is fully utilize our potentials. Truly, Atty. Nelson M. Aspe, CPA, our outstanding CBA Alumnus is a self-made man. June 2013 Tycoon June.indd 7 7 8/29/13 11:30 AM A Lady Who Always Smiles A popular quote says “The journey to a thousand steps begins with the first one.” These words aptly describe the preparation laid by a young lady who has an insurmountable amount of willpower in life. Ivy T. Apolinario is a March 2013 graduate of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, major in Operations Management . She has hurdled numerous difficulties and still emerged victorious. Finishing her degree is her “BIG LEAP” towards a better future, says Ivy. Following is the speech she has delivered during the CBA Magnate Awards in March 2013. May these words leave good thoughts and inspiration to everyone. Life is not a bed of roses…but along the way, we learn from the lessons and people we meet. “If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” – by Benjamin Franklin. CBA Magnate Awards happens every year to give recognition to students who have excelled in their academic and non-academic pursuits. For me, this event is not just a day of recognition but also a realization of dreams. Yes, a realization of dreams. It was two years ago when I first witnessed a student who gave her insights and reflections on this stage. Her name was Sheena Pagsuyoin, she was the first honors then and she graduated as a Summa Cum Laude in this University. As I listened to her, I got inspired and started to have a dream. A dream that one day, I will also be able to stand in front of the CBA Achievers, CBA faculty and guests, with all eyes on me, sharing my victory, my joy and my story. Finally! The dream I’ve been waiting for has come. I am here in front of you. God is really good. My journey in college life has never been easy.There were times when I thought that I could not make it anymore. Fate had tested me so much. I’ve encountered a lot of hardships and pitfalls. There were times when I had to stop schooling because my family could not afford it anymore. I worked as a cashier in a food chain and in a department store. There, I learned how to deal with different kinds of people. I was able to realize the value of every centavo that my parents had spent for me.Thus, I promised to myself that I will work hard to become worthy of all their investments in me. Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been to different schools in my college journey. I’ve been to University of the Philippines, Los Banos in Laguna, Mabini Colleges in Daet, Jose Rizal University in Mandaluyong, University of the East in Manila and now here in the University of Nueva Caceres. I took up Forestry, Nursing, Accountancy and now Business Administration Major in Operations Management. You may be wondering why?The reason was that I didn’t know what I really like then. I was confused because I still didn’t know what my real purpose in life. But you know what? I don’t have regrets for what happened to me.I believe that God had put me in that situation because He has a better plan for me. He let me experienced the wrong courses and He brought me into the wrong schools because He wanted me to appreciate the right one. He allowed me to explore in order to have a better view of who I really am and what I really want. Now, I’m here in the College of Business and Accountancy at the University of Nueva Caceres and I could say, that it’s here where I truly belong. I believe everything happens for a reason. Because of what I’ve been through, I learned that in life, God 8 Tycoon June.indd 8 June 2013 8/29/13 11:30 AM will not give you what you want but He will give you what you need. It may not be on the time that you want it, but it will come on His perfect time.All we need to have are patience and faith. I did not grow up in a wealthy family but I could say that I am a rich person. I am rich not in materials and luxurious things but I am rich because I was blessed with beautiful, caring, supportive and very loving family. My family is my inspiration. They are the reason why I am still striving to achieve all my dreams. I am just sad that they cannot come here tonight because my Grandmother is in the hospital right now and that they had to take care of her. Anyway, I will just wait for our graduation day since they promised that they will all come to celebrate the realization of our dream – my college graduation day. To my loving family, thank you and I love you! You are the wind beneath my wings and there’s nothing I can’t do because I have you. God has been really so good to me. He never let me down. During my darkest despair when I thought I was all alone, He was the one who gave me all the hope and encouragement. My faith in Him keeps me alive. Yes! He is the one giving us all the trials, challenges and difficulties that we are facing everyday. But I want you to know that He is not doing that because he doesn’t care for us, or because He just wants us to suffer. His purpose is for us to become better and stronger persons. He also wants us to realize tha He is REAL, that we just have to look and ask for His help because He is just waiting for us. We must not be afraid to face life every day. Every day is a gift from God. Every day is beautiful. Every day brings new hope. If we will only nurture our relationship with Him, you will see that God will give you all the strength and courage that you need in order to win all your battles in life. I would also like to take this opportunity to honor and thank all our professors in the CBA Department, most especially our very supportive and caring Dean, Dr. Nora Elizabeth Maniquiz. I will not mention the name of each and every professor that I had been with in this University, but I want you to know that I am very grateful for all the time you’ve devoted in sharing your knowledge and expertise to us. My dear teachers, you played a vital role in enriching our minds and in shaping our characters. Wherever we may go, you will always be part of who we are and we will forever cherish the moments we had with you. We’re sorry for the times we made you feel mad and disappointed with our behaviours and be assured that we don’t have anything against you. We understand that you just want us to become responsible, competent, morally upright, socially responsible and productive individuals who are ready to participate actively in nation building. In behalf of all the CBA students, I would like to say thank you so much, we love you and you will never be forgotten! We hope that one day, you’ll be proud that we were once your students. And of course, how can I forget to thank all my friends here in the University. Thank you for giving me a space in your heart. Thank you for making me smile, laugh, cry and making my stay in the University never a dull experience. All the thoughts I have with you, I will treasure. I love you and stay happy. Before I end, let me sing you a verse of a song which always inspires and helps me surmount all the challenges I face in life. This song is entitled “SMILE”. “Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it’s breaking When there are clouds in the sky you’ll get by That’s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what’s the use of crying? You will see that life is worthwhile If you’ll just SMILE.” Thank you and May God bless us all. Cheerio! And till we meet again. Those were the inspiring words from a young lady who is full of hopes and dreams. Seldom do we find a person who is as determined as Ivy. Dreaming is easy…but doing what it takes to achieve such dream entails a lot of patience, valour and fortitude. We might find ourselves in various situations that will test our willpower and strength to move on. We might meet people who are not supportive in our quest for success. But throughout all these, let us not forget that it is we who make the choices in our lives. There may be obstacles, but rising above them is what determines our ultimate success. As Ivy said in her parting song, SMILE!
