author and inspirational speaker Francis Kong, took part as one of the speakers
of the summit.
“The
talks made me realize that if I am not where I want to be, then I should do the
things I am not doing and think the thoughts I am not thinking,” Flores relates
about his experience of the summit.
The Summit was spearheaded by the Bedan Scholars’
Guild, the scholars association of San Beda University and Becarios de Santo Tomas
Scholars Association of University of Santo Tomas, in partnership with Academic
Scholars Alliance (Adamson University); Lasallian Scholars Society (De La Salle
University); and Scholars and Grantees of the Assumption (Assumption College).
