"On this day we gather to declare that we shall not waver in our efforts to restore UP to its preeminent status in the world of higher education and to ensure that the education it offers is accessible to the least of our people. We must succeed not because we have a reputation to keep but because we have a country to serve."

- Alfredo E. Pascual (July 7, 1948 – ) is the 20th President of the University of the Philippines.
