MLQU Regaining Its Glory

Remember I blogged about the mystery billboard along Morayta #MaghihintayAkoManuel. I even said it's about Manuel's love story, a kind of long distance love affair. Last week, the mystery was revealed in a big event held at Edsa Shangri La Hotel. With the theme "MLQU Regaining its Glory! Sikat ‘pag Quezonian" hosted by Luanne Dy and Drew Arellano.

#MaghihintayAkoManuel that went viral

On my way to one of the function room, I already noticed guests most were senior citizens. Hubby and I decided to passed by the concierge to leave our things. There, we met one of the guests holding the 'key' to the mystery event. I asked if I could see the invite and the old man handed it to me. The mystery was solved. That #MaghihintayAkoManuel that went viral was about Manuel L. Quezon's Alumni Homecoming. 

Husband and Wife Professors of MLQU

Because I already knew what's the event is all about. I see to it not to miss a photo opp with respected college professors and members of the faculty of Manuel L. Quezon University. Photo above is husband and wife team, both professors of MLQU.

I also met Neil Perez, Mister International together with the heads of MLQU.

Students now professionals. It's just overwhelming to see their excitement attending the homecoming. 

Finally, we come to the most awaited part - the reveal of what's new with MLQU. Their plans for coming back into the limelight involved the campaign billboards we’ve seen around Manila.

“It’s about time that we get back on track and build the culture of excellence and legacy of becoming an outstanding institution,” New San Jose Builders, Inc. (NSJBI)  co-chairman and MLQU president Dr. Isagani Germar said. 

Started in October 2014, New San Jose Builders acquired MLQU  the university's plans for upgrading are beginning to take shape. Top of their priority is reclaiming its role as a breeding ground for nation-builders and producing graduates that would attain 100% passing rate in board and bar exams. MLQU offers courses such as Law and Paralegal Studies, Education, Arts and Sciences, Accountancy and Business Arts, Engineering, Graduate Studies, Criminology, Architecture, and Information Technology. Under the new management’s supervision, there is a plan to add a course on real estate management.

Soon, there will be MLQU in Balanga, Bataan, as well as strengthening its Professional School, the School for Professional Advancement & Continuing Education (SPACE).


Sikat ‘pag Quezonian

Let me just mentioned few of the many graduates of MLQU. Dr. Carpio was a recipient of over 50 national and international honors and awards which includes being one of the Ten Outstanding Women of the Philippines in 1968 from Federacion Internacional de Abogadas (FIDA Phil.) for her invaluable achievements in the field of performing arts. She was also cited in The World Who’s of Women, Vol. 6, 1982 published in England by the International Biographical Centre.
