DMMMSU Library-on-air invited President Jaime Ipac Manuel, Jr. on its special episode aired on December 24, 2021. The segment highlighted what the President has done, is doing and will be doing for the University.

The one-hour segment was anchored by Ms. Charity Frianeza of the DZAG and Dr. Nancy F. Galban of the SLUC Library. During the discourse, President Manuel shared his experiences and preparations on becoming the President of DMMMSU, development goals and objectives for the University, and his accomplishments and life lessons.

In the interview, he stressed that he is being guided by Pres. Nelson Mandela’s famous quote, “A leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.” Moreover, he also talked about the three lessons during his presidency. He realized that first, success does not happen overnight; second, every member in an organization plays a very important role for the realization of the objectives and goals of the university; and third, service entails the highest degree of commitment and dedication.

DMMMSU Library-on-air is a regular program of the library in collaboration with DZAG 97.1 Radyo Pilipinas, Agoo. This is aired at the Main Library of the South La Union Campus, Agoo, La Union on Thursdays and Fridays at 10:00 AM. (Kethley Joyce Perona, Ana Nova Parrocha)
