St. Thomas Aquinas once wrote that you cannot love that which you do not know. I hope many Thomasians can have a copy of this precious work of Fr. Villarroel. Some people would describe it as a masterpiece, an epic work, a scholarly treatise, a work of a lifetime. But I prefer to call it a work of love. He wrote it for one simple reason: he loves UST. And because he loves it, he envisions this book not as a flickering candle, but a torch, inflaming the heart of every Thomasian to pursue greatness: greatness in purpose and achievement—for the self, the university, the country, and God.
