Southville International School and Colleges proudly welcomed Mr. Carl Raymond R. Cruz, President & CEO of Globe Telecom Inc., as Guest of Honor during its 20th College Commencement Exercises, held in celebration of academic achievement and transformative leadership.

In his keynote address, Mr. Cruz delivered a powerful message that resonated deeply with the graduating class. He urged students to embrace uncertainty with courage and conviction, reminding them:

“When you feel lost, just pause and ask yourself. What is my purpose, what is my why? Your purpose will be the light, and your resilience will be the strength that carries you forward. Even if the road ahead is completely unknown, take the leap.”

His words served as a beacon of encouragement for Southville’s Monarchs, reinforcing the values of purpose-driven leadership and bold decision-making as they embark on their professional journeys.

Southville extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Cruz for his presence and wisdom, which have left a lasting impact on the Class of 2025. His visit marks a meaningful chapter in the school’s ongoing mission to shape globally competitive graduates who lead with heart, vision, and resilience.
