Batch 2024, angkinin ang mga posibilidad, piliin ang paglaban
Nakaangkla ang transpormasyon ng edukasyon sa buod ng namamayaning politika sa bansa. Paalala ito na hindi pwedeng ang tore ng kaalaman sa loob ng klasrum ay ihiwalay sa kalagayan ng lipunan. Hindi pwedeng malaya ang unibersidad pero nananatiling pyudal ang kaisipan sa bansa. Ang paniwalang ito ang nagtulak sa akin, sampu ng iba pa, na suungin ang isang landas na maaaring palabas ng paaralan subalit ang inspirasyon at motibo ay pagbutihin ang kagalingan ng lahat ng paaralan.

Konteksto | Shiminet
Batikusin ang hindi katanggap-tanggap at huwag palampasin ang aroganteng pag-uugali ng mga dapat na nagsisilbi sa mamamayan. Habang patuloy nilang pinagkakaitan at pinahihirapan ang marami, kunin ang lahat ng pagkakataon para sila’y birahin at singilin, kahit nangangahulugan ito ng pagkawala ng kanilang pagkatao. Anong klaseng tao ba naman kasi ang puro kahayupan ang nasa katawan?
