Congratulations for passing the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐁𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐲. 𝐄𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐡𝐃! ⚖️🎉 As Fr. Roque Ferriols once challenged us, “𝑳𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒐, 𝒃𝒆𝒚𝒃𝒆𝒉!” —and you truly did. From philosophy to the law, you took the leap with courage and conviction, and emerged triumphant.

Your journey reminds us that philosophy is not only for reflection but also for action—daring us to think deeply, decide firmly, and step boldly into new paths. The Concilium Philosophiae celebrates this milestone with great pride and admiration.

Mabuhay ang pilosopong marunong lumundag. Mabuhay ka, 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐲. 𝐃𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐡𝐃!

Today, we honor the life, death, and legacy of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

He stands as a figure of intellect and unwavering service to his country, a true mark of Thomasian excellence. May his courage in the past inspire us to persevere today, as we strive to become the hope of the future.
