    Happy to see Pacquiao visiting one of the oldest and prestigious University in the Philippines. I for one was a former student of this University for two years under the college of engineering, but was not able to finish mechanical engineering degree due to enlistment to the US Navy. I had visited Silliman two years ago with my family and the school still looks very impressive, in fact my son made comments about seeking teaching position in the university. Silliman used to be known for being top in the college of jounalism, law and nursing and If I'm not mistaken this is still the case and perhaps more new degrees are added to the list. I would encourage parents to send college bound child/children to this university for excellent education and guaranteed employment. Look at Mr. Ampong, he's one of the best product of Silliman. I guessed I don't count, because I didn't graduate, but the two years I spent at this university had tremendously helped me passed the test requirements and oral interview in english to get accepted for enlistment in the US Navy at Sangley Point, Cavite city.

    Kana' si Manny , Bai, mananakod gyud na' siya. Tan-awa ra gud nisubay niya si Venus Raj. Nagtu-o man gud, Bai, si Venus nga pag-major-major iyang style nga isulti' ganahan ang mga judges sa America. Si Manny gani' kong pangutan-on sa Ininglis, ang iyang tubag la-in ra man pud iyang i-answer.
