Change Makers & The MLQU Conferment of the Honorable Sonny Belmonte
They say that the educational institutions of a country shape the minds of the people, and it is these individuals – the youth and the graduates – who are the future change makers of the nation.
MLQU 69th Commencement Exercises
This is what transpired towards the end of last week when Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) held their 69th Commencement Exercises honoring graduates across all academic programs.
This year’s ceremony highlighted the outstanding metamorphosis of the MLQU students into becoming catalyst of change and visionaries of the future.
The opening remarks was made by MLQU President Isagani G. Germar while the special guest speakers were the honorable Congressman Feliciano “Sonny” Belmonte and former Vice President Noli de Castro who delivered the commencement addresses in the morning and afternoon, respectively.
“Your graduation is your most successful achievement as a young adult and a result of your years of hard work and dedication to your studies. As graduates, you are now part of the country’s richest resource. We are very proud to each and every one of you”, said MLQU President Isagani G. Germar.
Another hihglight of the ceremony was the Conferment of Honorary Degree to Congressman Sonny Belmonte by MLQU President Isagani G. Germar and MLQU Chairman Dr. Jose Rizalino Acuzar. He was also the former Speaker of the House of Congress.

MLQU: Shaping Minds
Since its inception in 1947, the university has evolved tremendously and more so in the last few years.
Since 2014, when property developer New San Jose Builders, Inc. (NSJBI) acquired ownership of MLQU, a lot of changes has happened. The University made momentous transfer to Quezon City in August 19, 2016, corresponding with the 138th birth centennial of Philippine Commonwealth president, Manuel Luis Quezon. Dubbed “Quezon Is Home”, the event features MLQU’s symbolic move to continue its legacy from Quiapo, Manila, to QC with the unveiling of the late president’s portrait done by National Artist for Painting Fernando Amorsolo which was housed for the longest time at the MLQU Quiapo campus.
The esteemed university’s coming home to QC is timely as learning opportunities is made more accessible with the university’s location along EDSA. Furthermore, its venerable set of course offerings are expected to consistently bring out the best refined students in the country that is demanded by many different companies around the globe.
MLQU is continuously beefing up its roster of faculty members and deans who are known practitioners from their respective industry. Adding to the list of MLQU notable deans are former Chief Justice Reynato Puno, Regent & Dean Emeritus College of Law; former Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Perez, Dean School of Law; Professor Eric Soriano, Dean School of Accountancy, Business and Real Estate Management; and DPWH Undersecretary Raul Asis and former UP Dean of Architecture Danilo Silvestre, special lecturers to name a few.
