JUST IN | TOP 1 PLE 2026 Oathtaking Speech

A true son of Lyceum-Northwestern University, Dr. Parchaso stood before his fellow new physicians not only as a topnotcher, but as a voice of authenticity and quiet strength. His journey was not without struggle—marked by moments of doubt, setbacks, and long seasons of perseverance—but it is precisely these experiences that shaped the depth and sincerity of his message.

He honored the process—the unseen battles, the discipline to continue, and the courage to begin again. His words struck a powerful chord: “You don’t have to be unbreakable to be strong. You just have to keep showing up.” In this, he reminded everyone that resilience is not about perfection, but about persistence.

His achievement reflects the very spirit of being Lycean—grounded in excellence, strengthened by faith, and driven by purpose. He has given future doctors a meaningful perspective: that the path to success is rarely linear, but always worthwhile.

To all Lyceans, his story is a living proof that dreams are built through resilience, faith, and unwavering determination. No matter the delays, your time will come.

Padayon, Lyceans. Keep showing up. Your moment is coming. ❤️
