"To Kabataang Pilipino, Inc.,
While completing my course has required years of hard work, sleepless nights, and efforts, those times have been filled with encouragement and inspiration.
None of it would have been possible had KPI not come alongside me. I must thank all the people behind this foundation for your heartfelt support, you've given me not just financial help, you also have contributed a lot to my personal improvements by giving me the opportunity of getting into a university that prepared me in entering a much challenging world in the business field.
Special thanks to our Coordinator for your dedication in rendering your service to all scholars, for all the updates and encouragements during phone calls and e-mails. Thank you very much!
Of course, a big thanks to Mr. Jun Kabigting for reaching out to young people like me. It is my gratitude having known a person who has a big heart in helping and offering voluntary financial support. You have inspired me to do the same. More power to you!
May you all receive more than what you have given. Thank you very much and God bless you!
To the Current Scholars,
I would like to thank you for all the shared moments we've been together.
Everyone of us is privileged being one of the scholars of KPI. I believe that the best thing we can give them in return is accomplishing our studies. KPI has aided us in financing our education; surely, it will give them great joy to see us finish our courses and reach our goals. Though this does not mean no failures and disappointments on the process, our combined determination and effort will get us to where we want to be.
Let us set our objectives and make all efforts in attaining our vision while being true with our values and mission. I believe these things will get us somewhere.
I'm looking forward to seeing you sometime. God bless everyone!"

"If there is anything I have learned during my almost four years of being a KPI scholar and a college student as well, it is to be happy of whatever you have and whatever you’ve become.
Over these past four years, I made friends who challenged my beliefs and criticized me personally; from them, I gained insight and humility. I made good and bad decisions which I learned how to deal with. I been through tough times when I almost lost the scholarship and made a ‘shift’ due to some unexpected adversity in my life; from these, I learned courage and become a stronger person.
From these experiences, I’m so thankful to say that KPI family is with me and is one of my inspirations in pursuing my life. It’s so good to feel that there is someone who has faith in whatever I do aside from my family.
To my fellow scholars, we haven’t spent a lot of times together but let me share you this; be happy, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow. Schools and universities are not only about learning what’s on the book but it’s about learning how to learn and how to deal with the unexpected. You must make the most out of what the schools/universities can give you. Dedicate yourself to what you are doing. Strive harder to make your dreams come to reality but still, don’t be afraid to explore life. Remember, knowledge alone is not enough. Go and make a difference. I believe that success could be achieved. Just be honest, choose your words carefully and surround yourself with those who will encourage you."
