Congratulations to our friend, Adel Tamano!
Atty. Adel Tamano, the youngest University President of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), was inducted on Friday at a simple ceremony at PLM as the President of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities (ALCU).
Atty. Tamano, along with the other officers of the association, was sworn in by Senator Alan Cayetano, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education.
Senator Cayetano delivered the keynote speech that focused on the vital role that local college and universities played in national development, specifically given the fact that currently only 14 per cent of college age students finished their tertiary education. He said it was important to establish more local colleges and to insure that the newly established colleges should provide quality education.
ALCU is composed of 31 of the best and most prestigious local colleges and universities of the Philippines, among them the University of Makati, the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina, and the City College of Manila. ALCU will work closely with the Senate Committee on Education to enact legislation that will benefit existing local colleges and universities. The primary thrust of ALCU is to improve the quality of instruction, research, and extension of its member schools and to provide value public tertiary education, especially to the poor and disadvantaged.
Atty. Tamano has a varied and multi-disciplinary experience in the education field from teaching subjects as diverse as Economics to Human Resource Development to Constitutional Law. He was a member of the faculty of the Mindanao State University, Far Eastern University, University of the East, and the Ateneo de Manila University. Atty. Tamano obtained his degree in Economics from Ateneo, his Master’s in Public Administration from the University of the Philippines, his Juris Doctor from Ateneo, and his Master’s in Law from Harvard University.
Adel is a promising politician;future senator.I just hope he doesn’t acquire the habits of the tradpols of the disunited opposition.
Congratulations on your achievement. Keep up the good work, Adel.
Adel is a rare combination of good looks, brains and character! Ang cute ng dimples niya…heh,heh,heh.
Congratulations Adel!
Just thinking aloud, why not the Islamic City Of Marawi state university take Atty Tamano. Square pegs on round dimples.
nice. congrats to him. gwapo nya sa picture haha 🙂
BTW, I just met a Japanese whose family name is Tamano. I wonder if Atty. Tamano has Japanese blood.
Si Adel bagay na laging nasa tama. Tama ‘no?
Si Gloria laging mali – Maligno!
Puwedi itong maging presidente. Pride of Mindanao ito in the future
grizzy,
I don’t think Adel has Japanese blood. Arab or Chinese, most likely YES.
Also, you may find it strange that many Maranao have Japanese-sounding names. Examples: Nagasura, Nagamora, etc. Also among Maguindanao (e.g. Uto). 🙂
HG:
All the names that you mentioned are not Japanese, but “Tamano” is definitely Japanese. In fact there are lots of places here with the name Tamano as a city in Okayama Prefecture near Osaka. No such names in Japanese as Nagasura, Nagamora, etc. though. Uto is Pilipino as in “pilipinong uto-uto kay Gloria Dorobo!” 😛
BTW, there were a lot many Japanese immigrants in Mindanao before WWII, particularly in Davao, and a lot of their descendants now are applying for Japanese citizenship. There are fake Japanese descendants among them, too. I cannot understand such mentality though of faking identity just to be able to come and work in another country. Kahit marungisan ang pangalan ng pamilya nila, wala silang pakialam. 🙁
Naibalita kaninang tanghali sa GMA7 News flash report na NO TUITION FEE INCREASE daw?
Gaano kaya ito katotoo?
