ICYMI: Vjnhyl Zam Pondivida, Benguet State University’s first summa cum laude in its 107-year history, believed that studying what she was passionate about helped her obtain the highest Latin honors at her university.
“In DevComm, they teach you how to apply theory into practice so you can be of service to others,” she added in Filipino during an online interview.She also said that while she was set to receive the highest of the university’s Latin honors, what mattered to her more were “the lessons, learnings, and advocacies” that she encountered in her undergrad years.In spite of her talent and wit, Pondivida admitted she broke down a lot during college because of her studies.
“When you’re having a class online, there can be a lot of distractions,” Pondivida relented. “Sometimes, you have to do house chores, and sometimes the internet connection is not working.” After graduation, Pondivida said she would like to enter the academe to teach while still continuing her advocacy work through community journalism. She claimed these two occupations would complement each other well, given “the growing problems of the country.”
