Legislative Legacy How Ethnomusicologists Can Benefit from Lagman's Mentorship

As ethnomusicologists, we can learn valuable lessons about mentorship from the late congressman Edcel Lagman. In this article, we will explore how Lagman's approach to mentoring young lawmakers can be applied to our own field of study.

The Power of Mentorship A Timeless Quality

Mentorship is a powerful tool that has the potential to shape careers and inspire future generations. For Lagman, mentorship was not simply about imparting knowledge, but also about fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. As he once said, I might be a newbie, but you always smile when you see me. You are one of the few who inspires me to do better at what we do. This quote highlights Lagman's ability to connect with others on a personal level, a crucial aspect of any mentorship relationship.
