The title of the Award is the Ateneo motto, taken from St Paul (Ephesians 5:8). The phrase lux in Domino, “light in the Lord,” traces an ideal and sketches a way of life that the university promotes and Lupholds for all of its sons and daughters. mentorship beyond his alma mater, to a school that For a life lived in the service of country and gives free education to underprivileged residents the Faith, and according to the noblest ideals of of Manila. his alma mater, the Ateneo de Manila University He also gives pre-bar and pre-week lectures in confers on Hector L Hofileña the 2021 Lux in Property, Legal and Judicial Ethics, and Practical Domino Award.  Exercises.

He was also appointed by the Supreme Court as bar examiner for Civil Law in the 1996, 2000, and 2001 bar examinations. Justice Hofileña has had many accomplishments in his professional life—as an associate justice, a private law practitioner, and a teacher of law. They are testaments to his brilliance and his commitment to service, the practice of law, legal ethics, and the education of future lawyers. But more than these successes, his loving relationship with his wife and five accomplished sons, all of whom share his passion for service, is probably his greater achievement.

Dr Cagape also conducted seminars on primary health care and introduced a program called Food Always in the Home (FAith) which included setting up a kitchen garden and giving instructions on preparing food to combat iron deficiency, a common problem in the highlands. He realized, however, the inadequacy of a medical mission—after it leaves the community, the problem of accessibility to health services remains. This made him think of a way to make himself available to the people through technology. He first tried a 2-way radio, but found that people were more responsive to SMS or text messages.

Justice Carpio dissented from the rulings that allowed former President to run for public office, that acquitted former president of plunder, and granted bail to former senator Juan Ponce Enrile for plunder charges.

2021 TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY AWARDS 35 A Song for Mary The Ateneo de Manila University Graduation Hymn

We stand on a hill between the earth and sky. Now all is still where Loyola’s colors fly. Our course is run and the setting sun ends Ateneo’s day. EyesM are dry at the last goodbye; this is the Ateneo way. Mary for you! For your white and blue! We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, constantly true! We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, faithful to you!

Down from the hill, down to the world go I; rememb’ring still, how the bright Blue Eagles fly. Through joys and tears, through the laughing years, we sing our battle song: Win or lose, it’s the school we choose; this is the place where we belong!

Mary for you! For your white and blue! We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, constantly true! We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, faithful to you!
