Heartfelt gratitude JCI Senate Philippines for trusting me to paint & immortalize the JCI Creed’s final tenet—‘Service to humanity is the best work of life.’

It’s meaningful to see your creed intertwine with my Root Series.

May ilang bukang-liwayway na kakulay ng taglagas
Pag may ibang dapithapong liwanag na sumasabog.

Kang minsan ang puting puwang, palawakin man ng iyak,
Ay nagiging isang pumpon ng kandilang di maupos.

Hanggang kaya mong gumising at kaya kong managinip;
Kaya nating pag isahin-ang darating at aalis.

Habang may kapangyarihan ang pangarapin at mangarap.
Walang laban ang kahapong matuldukan ang susunod.

Bakit ba may inaasam tayong ayaw pang maganap?
Pagkat ngayon ay may noong bukas pa natin ang handog?
