Leni Robredo, gagawaran ng honorary degree ng Ateneo
Gagawaran ng pamunuan ng Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) si dating Vice President Leni Robredo ng honorary degree.
Sa inilabas na memorandum ni ADMU President Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ. na may petsang Hulyo 27, nakasaad na iginagawad ang honorary degrees sa mga indibiduwal na mayroong kapansin-pansin at kahanga-hangang pagsulong sa kanilang larangan.
“Ideally, they have dedicated themselves to a noble cause for the benefit of others, and are renowned for their work in advancing social justice and development, as well as compassionate action and humanitarian service,” pahayag ni Yap.
Dagdag nito, “They must be persons of integrity and probity, exemplars of Ateneo ideals, whom the University is honored to include in its roster of alumni.”
Sa Special Board meeting noong Hulyo 11, sinabi ni Yap na nagdesisyon ang Ateneo de Manila Board of Trustees na igawad ang Doctor of Philosophy in Economic honoris causa kay Robredo.
“Maria Leonor ‘Leni’ Robredo was the country’s vice president for six years. In those years, she made remarkable contributions towards poverty alleviation, in spite of limited government budget, through the programs her office undertook with a vast network of partners—international organizations, local foundations and other non-government organizations, corporations, and local government units,” ayon pa kay Yap.
Kinilala rin ng pamantasan ang naging ambag ni Robredo sa pagtugon sa COVID-19 pandemic, natural at man-made disaster, at paglabag laban sa karapatang pantao.
Isasagawa ang conferment sa Agosto 27, 2022, kung saan magbibigay ng commencement speech ang dating bise presidente sa 2022 graduates ng Loyola Schools.
