For Palawan Group of Companiesโ Chief Financial Officer, Lilian Castro-Selda, it goes far beyond credentials and career milestones. It is built on Communities and Values โ the people who shape us and the principles that guide us.
We are proud to share that Maโam Lilian had the honor of serving as the Commencement Speaker for the University of the Philippines College of Business Administration Class of 2026.
Speaking before the next generation of business leaders, she reflected on the communities that defined her journey: from family, colleagues, and the Palawan Group, to the UP community and, ultimately, the country we all belong to. She reminded graduates that while a rรฉsumรฉ may open doors, it is kindness, integrity, empathy, hard work, and the courage to stand for what is right that sustain a meaningful career and a purposeful life.
As a proud alumna of the College who earned a degree in BS Business Administration and Accountancy, Cum Laude, in 2000, and a leader who continues to champion good governance, financial inclusion, and nation-building, Maโam Lilian's message was both a homecoming and a call to action: your communities will always need your values.
Congratulations to the graduates of 2026. May you carry your own CV: not just your curriculum vitae, but your Communities and Values, with honor wherever life takes you.
