MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ateneo de Manila University now holds the distinction of the most number of honorary doctorate degrees awarded to deserving Filipinos.
For the first time ever, a university will award not one, but three honorary doctorate degrees at this year’s commencement exercises.
The honorees are ex-Vice President Leni Robredo, TV host and actress Kim Chiu, and comedienne and beauty pageant contestant Herlene Budol.
The three are being conferred a Doctorate Degree In Mass Communications, Honoris Causa.
ADMU said in a press statement that the three women exemplify great courage in publicly communicating uplifting ideas for the betterment of Philippine society. This, despite their inherent challenges in self-expression.
Congratulations to the Tres Maria’s!
