Nakikiisa ang Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Manila sa pagdiriwang ng ika-126 na Araw ng Kasarinlan ng Pilipinas

Atty. Domingo Reyes Jr. elected as the New President of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila

Pamantasan ng Lungsod Maynila is proud to announce Atty. Domingo Reyes, Jr. as the new President of the university. Atty. Reyes is poised to lead PLM to new heights in the years to come with his impressive background and a commitment to excellence in higher education. He is a writer, professor, lecturer, speaker, consultant and PAASCU accreditor, among others, and committed to public service.

President Reyes, known as “Sir Sonny” to many, will bring a wealth of experience to PLM, having served in various leadership roles within academia, including as a special assistant to the Chancellor at De La Salle College of St. Benilde and special assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Academics. He is also a Correspondent Lawyer and Psychologist, and has worked as a Human Resource Manager in various private companies. He understands the challenges and opportunities that universities are confronted with today.

President Reyes received his Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education Management, with Highest Academic Distinction, from Centro Escolar University, his Juris Doctor from Manuel L. Quezon University, and his Master of Laws from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Sir Sonny is clearly one of our own. His vision for the future of PLM aligns perfectly with our institution's mission and values.

As President Reyes takes the helm at PLM, together with the newly appointed Board of Regents, Dr. Joseph Berlin Juanzon, Dr. Neri Pescadera, and PLM’s new Board of Regents Chairperson Atty. Edward Serapio. With incumbent Board of Regents Wilma Galvante and Rita Riddle, they will work collaboratively with students, faculty, staff, and the broader community to continue building on the university's proud tradition of academic excellence and innovation. Their leadership will be instrumental in advancing our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive campus environment that embraces the full spectrum of human potential.
President Reyes is set to officially assume the presidency on October 31, 2023, and the entire PLM community looks forward to working closely with them as we undertake on this exciting new chapter in the university's history.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to President Domingo Reyes Jr. as they take on this pivotal role. We invite you to stay tuned for future updates and announcements as we embark on this new journey together.

We extend our heartful gratitude to the Legal Education Board (LEB) for visiting the PLM Graduate School of Law last October 05, 2023.

The visit of the Board to the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila is part of their benchmarking and strategy in enhancing the policies, standards and guidelines for the "Master of Laws Program" being offered by law schools in the country.

The benchmarking activity was spearheaded by LEB's Commissioner Josefe C. Sorrera-Ty, together with her team: Mr. Rodrigo C. Sagum, Mr. John Roben M. Ambas, Mr. Gabriel Thomas R. Garcia and Ms. Annie Mae M. Baldago. It was also graced by the PLM-GSL headed by its Dean Justice Hector L. Hofileña and supported by the College Secretary Atty. Roselle SJ. Sarino, OIC-VPAA Noemi C. Gocuyo, AVPAA Peniel Jean A. Gildo and PLM-CL Dean, Atty. Magelio S. Arboladura.

The visit has not only honored PLM, but also enriched our academic journey in continuing to shape the future of legal education and our commitment to academic excellence, specially in offering the Master of Laws Program.

The PLM Graduate School of Law is proud to present the following lawyers who will be conferred the degree of 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀 (𝗟𝗟.𝗠.) tomorrow at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila's 55th Commencement Exercises at the Philippine International Convention Center.
