Read, Read, Read

“Let me tell you about the mother of former senator Roco. She was a public schoolteacher, and what senator Roco learned most from her was the habit of reading. They would go to the Naga City library and borrow all the books they could. I believe it was reading that made Raul Roco wise and knowledgeable. Because, as his mother told him, when you read, you stand on the shoulders of giants. You see farther than the rest and you can make better decisions. So, graduates, read, read, read. We Filipinos don’t like to read. But if you develop this habit, you will go farther than the rest.” - Sonia Roco to the graduates of the Dipolog Medical Center (The Philippine Daily Inquirer)
