I am a Thomasian
I am heir to four centuries
of scholastic excellence,
vanguard learning
and visioanry leadership
animated by the spirit
of St. Dominic
and fired by the ideal
of St. Thomas Aquinas


As a child of a glorious institution
founded and guided by the Dominican friars
I have been reared
in the tenets of Christian humanism,
which makes me see others and myself
as bearers of God's image,
and which moves me to strive
to work for a world
that manifests the magnificence
and magnanimity of God.


Toward this vision,
I vow to apply the principles
I have learned from the University
in my chosen career
taking care to discharge my duties
and responsibilities
in the best way possible I could,
showing competence,
commitment and conscience,
in the service of my fellow person,
society and God.


As i leave with a heavy heart
the portals of my beloved University,
and with my mentors as witnesses
and the UST Cross as omnipresent
and inextinguishable inspiration,
I pledge today and always
to be a true Thomasian,
ever loyal to my alma materl
the University of Santo Tomas,
and to the ideals it stands for:
the ceaseless pursuit of the truth
and the selfless sharing of its fruits
in order to uplift the world
and emblazon it with the majesty of God.


I am a Thomasian,
and will remain as one forever,
SO HELP ME GOD!
