His message centered on one of the biggest forces shaping the future: artificial intelligence.
In his commencement speech, which PLM shared on social media, Michael V. acknowledged the growing role of AI while urging the graduates to focus on the qualities that technology cannot simply replicate.

He encouraged them to continue developing their ability to imagine, solve problems, care for others, lead, and create meaningful change.
“Yes, AI will probably be here to stay but remember: machines can never live your life for you. Hindi nito kayang mangarap para sa’yo. Hindi nito kayang magmahal para sa’yo. Hindi nito kayang magdesisyon kung anong klaseng tao ang gusto mong maging dahil ikaw lang ang makakagawa noon,” he said.
He explained that although AI can assist people in different areas of their lives, it cannot take the place of their aspirations, relationships, personal values, and decisions.
Michael V. then summed up his reminder to the graduates with a line that underscored the importance of remaining grounded despite technological progress.
“Use technology but don’t lose your humanity,” he reminded the graduates.
Beyond discussing AI, Michael V. also urged the graduates to put their education and skills to meaningful use. He encouraged the Class of 2026 to make a difference, especially in the lives of their fellow Filipinos.
He concluded his commencement message by challenging the graduates to make their individual contributions valuable and meaningful.
“Go out there and make yourselves impossible to replace.”
The speech marked a meaningful return to PLM for Michael V., whose real name is Beethoven Bunagan. The comedian earned his degree in mass communications from the university, making his appearance as a commencement speaker a return to the institution where he once studied.
Beethoven Michael del Rosario (born December 17, 1969), professionally known as Michael V. or "Bitoy," is an iconic Filipino comedian, actor, singer-songwriter, and creative director best known for his long-running work on Bubble Gang and Pepito Manaloto.
