Family Background:
It was a sunny day
when a 5-gram, handsome, innocent boy came out from the cave of ignorance and
began to see the light on February 10, 1987. This baby was full of hope that he
will explore this vast universe and triumph in his existence. This cute baby was
me. I was nourished with love and was carefully nurtured by my parents, Mr.
Alexander Moreno Baltazar and Mrs. Elizabeth Rubillos Gorgonio-Baltazar. I was
given full attention by my parents who dreamed that I will grow smart, virtuous,
and to be of service to others. My parents wants me to
live an exemplary life that is why they named me Stephen Alexeus in honor of the
first martyr Saint Stephen and Saint Alexeus. I had one brother named Seasun
Anthony who unfortunately died two days after birth. This was God’s plan so the
family had to accept it wholeheartedly. As a result, I
grew as the only child of the family.
As of the present, our
family lives a happy life. My father works as an Oiler Seaman. My mother is a
teacher and English subject coordinator of the
In spite of my parents’ distance, we
still live happily by keeping in touch thru communication gadgets. Our distance
makes our hearts grow fonder.

Hobbies, Likes and
Field of Interests:
As a student leader, I
love to read a lot of books, newspapers, and magazines especially about
politics, religion, and current events. I do mentor younger student leaders on
how to lead and manage their school organizations. I do check on them one in a
while so as to facilitate their growth as good youth leaders. I love to
establish student organizations with different advocacies. I also like to attend
social functions and gatherings.
As a Catholic
Christian, I guess I am religious but
still striving to be spiritual. =) I attend to religious
functions and events. I like participating in our parish activities and
involving myself with community outreach activities.
As a family member, I
take pleasure in attending family reunions and gatherings. Visiting my grannies
and relatives especially during fiestas and other special occasions is also one
thing I like to do. I also love to trace our family history and make the family
tree.
As a teenager, I take
delight in eating delicious foods (Food Trip), strolling and shopping in the
malls, relaxing and chatting with friends in coffee shops(Love Bo’s Cofi,
Bigbucks n’ Starbucks), watching comedy and teen movies, hanging out in
restobars and videoke spots , and travelling in different places.
I’m also a cell phone
and internet addict. Woah! I love texting my close pals and surfing the net
during my free time.
I love photography. I like taking
pictures. I do collect lots of pics.
My fields of interests
are politics, religion, current events, geography, history, tourism,
entrepreneurship, and accountancy.

Talents and
Skills:
God gave me a lot of
gifts and blessings which include my talents and skills. Well, I know how to
sing a little (hehe) and I love ballroom dancing. My forte is public speaking. I love to
deliver speeches, oratorical pieces, and love poems. I like to write Balak
pieces or Cebuano love poems and speeches for different occasions. Although I
was never been in a Theater Guild, I love to be an actor on stage and portray
the role of a contra-bida.
Skills? Ahmm, I’m
computer literate. I do have good written and oral communication skills. I am
detail oriented, organized, and highly trustworthy. I have good analytical
skills. I guess I’m also gifted with good teambuilding and managerial
skills.
·
Mottos in
Life:
Love your
calling with passion. It is the meaning of your
life.
Know your
passion. Drop the “I” and pass it on.
Life is
wonderful…Life is beautiful…Life is handsome...and so am I. Enjoy
life!
Do not be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your
very best. After all it’s not a matter of how deep you fall but what matters
most is that you rise each time you fall.
Do the rest
and God will do what is best. =)
Rest if you must but don't you
quit.

My Goals and
Dreams; My Hopes for our Country:
My Wildest
Dream
“To reach the
unreachable star and dream the impossible dream…”
I
dare to dream the dream I dare to dream!!!
I
am a person who has a great ambition. I do not dream for myself alone, but for
my family and for our country as well.
Twenty
years from now I see myself as a successful CPA Lawyer happily married to my
beautiful wife and living with my healthy children. By that time I will be operating my own
business and establishing a foundation for the children, the youth, the
underprivileged, the marginalized, and the less fortunate members of our
society.
Thirty
to forty years from now, I hope to be the next President of our Republic or if
not a Senator or a Congressman of the Fifth District of
Leyte.
My Hopes for our
Country
In spite of all the problems and
crisis that the country is facing nowadays, I know that there is a beacon of
light for this nation. As long as there are Filipinos who love this country,
then there is hope for a better Philippines!!!
I
foresee a better Republic – a country that is not only economically progressive
but also alleviated from poverty, unchained from illiteracy and freed from
corruption, crimes and terrorism. I envision a nation wherein companies exercise
corporate social responsibility and globally competitive citizens are
collaborating to make a community where we can enjoy life to the fullest!!!
BUT
unless one dares; unless one risks; unless one takes a single brave step; the
dream of a paradise will remain a fantasy.

How do you find
USC? Is it worth the stay?
USC is such a prestigious university with a noble
mission and vision. I find USC as a good training ground for future leaders of
the country, top executives, business gurus, entrepreneurs, and professionals of
the world. USC has imbibed in me good Christian values and has taught me to
share what I have to others especially the underprivileged and the marginalized
thru various community service activities.
My stay in this academic institution was indeed
worthwhile, wonderful, and worth cherishing.

What edge do you
think Accounting students have amongst the rest?
Our edge amongst others is that most Accounting students
are simply smart, multi-talented, industrious in their studies, and well-behaved
in class.
According to most of my mentors in college, they love to
teach accounting students because they are fast learners, smart, industrious, prompt in submitting
requirements, well-behaved, easy to handle, and simply
amazing!
