SENATOR Alan Peter Cayetano on Tuesday encouraged college graduates to embrace their uniqueness as they join the workforce, and to “listen to their heart.”

“In navigating this world, remember you’re unique… Everything about you, hinandmade ng Panginoon ‘yan. May ipapagawa sa’yo,” Cayetano told hundreds of graduates of the Southville International School and Colleges.

The senator, whose leadership is based on Christian faith and values, urged the graduates to listen to their heart and mind and not be swayed by negative opinion.

“Don’t let anyone step on your dreams and tell you na y’ung special purpose mo wala doon. We are fractions in one whole. Just like an orchestra, iba-iba ang talent natin,” Cayetano said.

He challenged the graduates to continue learning and to personally discover how seeking God’s Kingdom and righteousness leads to the fulfillment of their personal goals in life.

He told the graduates that they hold the future of the country in their hands.

“We, the senators, are excited to see what the future holds for you,” he said.
