Agriculture student is top UPLB graduate

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna: University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB)’s lone summa cum laude graduate underscored the role of agriculturists in seeking ways to ensure food security in his valedictory message during the 45th UPLB Commencement Exercises.

Arnel Villancio Jr., who received his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree and hails from Antipolo, Rizal, said farmers, not agriculturists, feed the world, but stressed that “the responsibility of agriculturists is to continuously find ways for the world to feed itself.”
