When I spent my two-week Vacation in the Philippines in 2008, I had a chance to visit THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY popularly known as PWU. The PWU Visit had motivated me to create this music video as a Special Tribute to my Alma Mater.

As I have always said, you can work from one employer to another But you got only one educational institution where you earned the kind of education you wanted in life. The knowledge gained from your Alma Mater will be your passport to whatever career you want to pursue. Thus making the best you can be in life.

Memories I have for PWU instantly came back to my mind like a gentle wind that touched my skin in the early morning.

To earn a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from PWU while working full-time is One Big Challenge I will never forget for as long as I live.

PWU Quezon City is offering business courses catered to working students. These courses are being held during Evening Class at Jose Abad Santos Memorial School (JASMS) Quezon City.

It truly answered my desire to earn a University degree. It was tough to work full-time by day and study full-time by night & whole day Saturdays not to mention my Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) during Sundays at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) but I did it well for I even managed to make it in the Dean's Honor List.

During my time as a PWU student, it was like WORKING, STUDYING and LIVING in Quezon City - All In One. That time, THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY Quezon City which is PWU QC for short was originally known as PWU Community College that later became PWU Extension.

Mother really knows Best! It was actually my Mother, also a PWU Alumna, who recommended to me to study at PWU. After graduating from PWU and years later, I recommended to my younger Brother to study at PWU.

PWU had given me a Quality Education that helped me to land a challenging job and to hurdle the difficult Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination also known as CPA Board Exam.

After becoming a CPA, I had the opportunity to study MBA both at PWU Graduate School in Manila and Quezon City. This gave me a chance to exchange ideas with my classmates of different educational background. Not to mention the motivation I got from my mentors to explore the challenges of business locally and internationally.

To date, my Mother, Aunt Vicky, Brother Bong and I - all went to THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY for a Bachelor's degree thus making us truly PHILWOMENIANS - A PWU ALUMNI.

Now that I am residing in Canada, I had a chance to study in two of the universities and colleges in Toronto. I could say that PWU if not better is at par with the Quality of Education in Canada. And cost wise, the Cost of Education at PWU is very affordable compared to schools in Canada.

Thanks to PWU for making us - A Useful Citizenship of the world and became THE BEST WE COULD BE in our chosen career.

  • I am Kenneth G. Jaen and I was a student of PWU JASMS from Pre-School - Grade School [Nursery-Grade 6]. now I had my High School at Davao City; I can conclude that all the lessons I've learned at Grade School/Elementary is the foundation of my knowledge in high school, and in college soon.. This school helped and inspired me a lot, I became fluent at english and I excelled academically.. I love you "PWU - JASMS" by the way, I also miss the old "JASMS" [I'm referring to the mountains, xD]

  • @AntonioTrillanesIV

    Wow! I am so happy to know what you have become. You make me prouder to be a Philwomenian. Just like you, I miss the old JASMS too. Thank you so much for your wonderful words for The PWU JASMS. Take care and best regards to your loved ones.
