He sees the propensity of Filipinos to conform to the united arms of harmony that most of us seem to lack. As pertained by his valedictory speech that indicates his wide-eyed notions about the truth that walks amongst us, poverty that is. I guess, him being a teacher, instilling the knowledge of the known truth that poverty is the essence of humanity, the side that is lead to be withdrawn from the midst of existence; letting his students be informed of such ideas through his teaching is like letting a child see that there is no pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but making the child know that you can create a that pot of treasures if you ought to. Not all of us chose to lead a privileged life of theoretical assumptions about life. The situational conditions that reinstate our senses to realities yet known but not seen. And that is what Mr. Joseph Nathan Cruz had enjoyed, theorizing about the harmony and unity that we Filipinos deprive ourselves nowadays. Nathan being a Creative Writing Teacher, he inculcates to the new generation how we can contradict our notions despite the truth about poverty, that we can still make a difference, even on the tiniest speckle not seen by many but felt by someone.

It seems that our nation has always been mired in poverty. Maybe, but God forbid, if we fail to be vigilant, we will be as worse as any African nation. But what happens after graduation? Can Mr. Cruz answer his own question "To whom do you sell your brains to?" honestly? Was he able to address the issues he eloquently described in his speech? A point to consider in connection with the UP centennial celebration is that we should walk our talk. In the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the UP, can majority of the UP graduates say that they have addressed the significant societal issues that they knew to be important to the nation's progress?
