Hector L Hofileña

52021 TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY AWARDS

_=JJustice Hector L Hofileña is an Ateneo alumnus who truly lives the ideals of the Ateneo in his professional and personal life. His is a life of self-giving and generosity—serving the nation with unquestionable integrity as a member of the judiciary, serving the Ateneo for more than 60 years now through his excellent mentorship at the law school, advocating the just causes of his clients—big and small—in his private practice, and being a devoted husband and loving father of five sons.

Hector Hofileña earned his Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, and his Bachelor of Laws degree, cum laude, at the Ateneo de Manila in 1951 and 1954, respectively. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1955.

He started teaching at the Ateneo College of Law in 1957 and was its registrar from 1958 to 1994. At the time, he taught Persons and Family Relations, Property, Succession, Administrative Law, Conflict of Laws, and Legal and Judicial Ethics.

While a faculty member of the law school, he was also engaged in the practice of law, as assistant attorney in the Deogracias T Reyes Law Office and later in the Angel S Gamboa Law Office, and subsequently, as a partner in the Gamboa & Hofileña Law Office and in the Guingona, Nepomuceno & Hofileña Law Office. He was also a general counsel of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines in 2007.

He was a “full-time, full-service, hands-on lawyer” in his private practice. “Day in and day

out, he would conscientiously plod away, advising and advocating the just causes of clients, big and small. His work as a private practitioner continued even when he left his office for the day, as he often brought his files and legal resources…home with him. He would regularly spend a good portion of the evenings, weekends, and holidays crafting pleadings and documents,” wrote his son Jose Maria ‘Joey’ Hofileña, current dean of the Ateneo Law School.

In 1994, Hector Hofileña was appointed associate justice of the Court of Appeals. Justice Hofileña invariably rendered his decisions in accordance with the law and the principles of justice. He was known in the judiciary for his competence, unimpeachable integrity, and strong work ethic. He retired from the bench in 1999.

Joey wrote, “He would work beyond office hours and weekdays…taking home voluminous case files for his review, and personally drafting up his rulings on his bedroom table. And when he retired from the court, he was deservedly recognized for clearing his docket, a not-too-frequently-achieved goal amongst retiring justices.”

Justice Hofileña’s expertise is civil law as well as legal and judicial ethics, and he has dedicated his life to teaching ethics to future lawyers and practicing judges. Not a few lawyers admit that in our country, ethical practice and law practice do not always go together, and this is probably the reason Justice Hofileña has made it his mission to focus on teaching legal and judicial ethics. He is the vice-chairman of the Department of Judicial Ethics of the Philippine Judicial Academy and is a contributor to the Benchbook for Philippine Judges and the annotation of the New Code of Judicial Conduct for the Philippine Judiciary.

Justice Hofileña has demonstrated exceptional competence in both his private practice and

work in the judiciary, but it is probably in legal education that he has made his greatest contribution. Teaching is his calling and he said yes to this calling early in his career. In 1957, two years after passing the bar, he began teaching at the Ateneo Law School and continues to be a dedicated professor of law at his alma mater to this day.

“There was never a time when I witnessed my father having soul-wrenching doubts over his vocation. I have never heard him grumble about the pittance of a paycheck that I speculate he received. On the contrary, he always exuded an air of gratification and serenity with his association with the Ateneo Law School—an association that now comprises over half a century of quietly teaching the law and shaping values, all done without self-indulgent pomp or fanfare,” wrote his son Joey.

Justice Hofileña is also the dean of the Graduate School of Law of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, extending the benefits of his excellent

mentorship beyond his alma mater, to a school that gives free education to underprivileged residents of Manila.

He also gives pre-bar and pre-week lectures in Property, Legal and Judicial Ethics, and Practical Exercises. He was a lecturer in various Mandatory Continuing Legal Education seminars in the mCle program. 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.

For a life lived in the service of country and the Faith, and according to the noblest ideals of his alma mater, the Ateneo de Manila University confers on Hector L Hofileña the 2021 Lux in Domino Award.

LLUX in domino awardThe Lux in Domino Award is a capstone award given to an extraordinary Ateneo de Manila alumnus who has incarnated in life, and perhaps even in death, in an outstanding and exemplary manner, the noblest ideals of the Ateneo de Manila University. 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 upholds for all of its sons and daughters.

mRRemedios ‘Remmy’ Rikken is a pillar of the women’s movement in the Philippines—a pioneer in organizing women to fight for their rights and in mainstreaming, as well as institutionalizing, the promotion of women’s rights and the protection of women.Remmy Rikken had established a career in accountancy when she decided to work in social development. After a post-graduate course in economics at the Asian Social Institute, she worked for different Catholic dioceses and agencies in Mindanao, organizing farmers and communities around land and tenancy issues. She expanded her development work to other fields, theater in particular, when she helped organize the Philippine Educational Theater Association (Peta) in the 1970s to focus on staging politically- and socially-oriented plays, and on using drama as a tool for pedagogy.

At around this time, Remmy met three women who would be her longtime fellow advocates in the promotion of women’s rights. These were Teresita Quintos-Deles, Irene Santiago, and Sr Mary John Mananzan OsB, whom Remmy first met in a consultation meeting of leaders of the Association of Foundations. In that meeting,

Remmy was also instrumental in drawing mainstream support for the work of organizations providing shelter and counseling for women victims of violence, as well as support from funding agencies. She helped develop the Philippine Development Plan for Women, which later became a companion piece to the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (1987–1992) and served as a model for gender advocacy for the region.

After her stint in the Cory Aquino government, Remmy went back to development work through non-government organizations. Believing in the important role of women in peace-building, Remmy adopted an innovative approach to the question of gender and peace by organizing women community leaders among indigenous communities in Muslim Mindanao and in the Cordilleras. In these hotbeds of armed conflict, women engaged in dialogue and shared their experiences of living through war and conflict.

In December 2010, Remmy returned to the same institution she headed in 1986, which was

all four women noted that even in a gathering of the most socially-aware leaders, the “woman question” was never addressed. Among themselves, and outside the consultation proper, the four women found themselves constantly engaged in a discussion of women’s issues.

This led to the founding of PiliPiNa, the first feminist organization in the country, which envisioned a “Philippines where women possess dignity, autonomy, and equality” (Santos-Maranan, Perrena, and Fabros, Women's Political Participation in the Philippines, 2007) and engaged in social work and capacity-building for women.

PiliPiNa was formed in 1981, two years before the assassination of Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino. In the massive protest movement following the death of Ninoy, Remmy became an active organizer against the Marcos dictatorship. Ferdinand Marcos was ousted in 1986, and in the Cory Aquino administration which was installed in the same year, Remmy Rikken was appointed executive director of the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women.

Remmy forged a new direction for the commission, which was established in 1975 by the previous administration. She steered the commission away from its work of organizing women for welfare projects to the important task of mainstreaming gender concerns in every government department and office, which extended to the non-government and private sectors. This had three significant consequences: greater awareness among law enforcement agencies—specifically the police and the armed forces—of women’s rights and protection against violence; changes in the school curricula in relation to the role of women in the family and in society; and greater voice for women in business and the economy.

renamed Philippine Commission on Women, when she was appointed its chairperson by President Benigno Aquino iii.

With the signing of the Magna Carta for Women in 2009, for which Remmy actively lobbied, the Philippine Commission on Women became the lead agency in ensuring that the provisions of the law are enacted. With the expanded role of the commission, Remmy went back to working on the ground, traveling all over the country to work with local government officials, regional development councils, government line agencies, the military, the police, and non-government organizations to undertake gender-consciousness awareness programs, policy studies, legislation reviews that integrate women’s concerns, technical services that ensure the development of institutional capabilities for gender and development (GaD) mainstreaming in government agencies and selected partners, and monitoring and assessment of the implementation of laws and policies on women.

Remmy Rikken has made tremendous contributions towards gender equality in the Philippines. For mainstreaming the woman question; organizing women on the ground for peace-building; institutionalizing the promotion and protection of women’s rights as the head of the government commission on women in two administrations; and working ceaselessly in government and civil society to enable the economic, social, and political empowerment of the Filipino woman, the Ateneo de Manila University confers on Remedios Ignacio Rikken the Parangal Lingkod Sambayanan for 2021.

PparangaL LingKod SamBaYananThis award recognizes the outstanding public service of an individual or organization over many years. Public service is defined as work that supplements or complements government efforts—promoting social justice, sustainability, discourse, peace, and development. Through all this, the spirit of volunteerism should be evident in service which does not ask for or take anything in return, except perhaps the satisfaction that comes from serving God and others.

Roel ZCagape


DDr Roel Cagape is a medical doctor who has dedicated 30 years of his life to serving the poor indigenous peoples living in the remote areas of Sarangani, General Santos, and Sultan Kudarat in southern Mindanao. It is something he has been doing on his own, initially, as a private medical practitioner, and later with help from government agencies, private organizations, and private individuals.

Roel’s awakening to the difficult plight of the sick and the poor came about when a very ill person from a remote village was brought to their house on a cloth hammock. The men carrying the patient begged Roel’s parents to bring them to a hospital in nearby General Santos City because there were no health facilities in their community in Sarangani. Many more sick patients on cloth stretchers would be brought to their house since then, but that particular incident was imprinted on the mind of the young Roel. “It was heart-wrenching seeing someone dying from the lack of medical attention. It gave me the resolve to pursue medicine to help poor patients,” Dr Cagape said in an interview with Asian Correspondent.

After taking a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the Ateneo de Davao University, Roel proceeded to medicine proper at the Cebu Institute of Medicine. Upon passing the medical board exam, he chose to go back home to General Santos to practice his profession.

Early in his career, Dr Cagape conducted medical missions in the hard-to-reach communities of Malapatan, Sarangani Province, to give free medical service to the B’laan ethnolinguistic group. This he did on his own in the beginning, relying on friends for donations, but after some years, he was able to enlist the support of government agencies and private organizations.

On his first visits to Malapatan, Dr Cagape saw the state of the people’s health, especially that of the children who were mostly malnourished. “I realized my purpose and mission when I saw the children—they were dying…and I told myself that I needed to help them in the best way I could, as a physician,” he said.

His medical missions offered a wide range of services—a feeding program for the children, free medical consultation, dispensation of medicines,

dental consultation and treatment, deworming, circumcision, and distribution of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and clothes, among others.

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. In 2004, he started an sms-based communication system called “E-text si Doc.”

He set up electronic health centers in the mountains of Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and General Santos City, making him just “a text away” from the indige-nous peoples living in these areas. The electronic health center is a combination of “E-text si Doc” and a small nipa structure, which houses the “Botika Sa Kabukiran” where free medicines are dispensed. A total of 30 electronic health centers have been established in Mindanao as well as in Mindoro for the Mangyan and in Zambales for the Aeta.

People from remote villages may consult with Dr Cagape by phone and would receive medical advice in text messages. He receives an average of 100 text messages a day, which he carefully reads and responds to, starting at three o’clock in the morning when he is not yet busy with the day’s work.

Dr Cagape also introduced what he called “Ambulansyang Kabayo,” an innovative means of transporting patients from remote areas to the nearest hospital using horses and bamboo carriers,

instead of cloth hammocks carried by people on foot. With horses and bamboo carriers, the patient has a better chance of being attended to and getting treatment.

Dr Cagape continues to go on medical missions, which he has been doing for more than 30 years now among the B’laan ethnolinguistic group in the sitios of Klobak, Masbong Uno, Malkik and Ulo Fitam in Malapatan, Sarangani Province. These mountainous areas can only be reached on foot or on horseback, after days of hiking and crossing rivers. It is a dangerous trek, not only because of the terrain, but because some parts are conflict areas.

On one of his visits in 2013, Dr Cagape discovered a high incidence of hepatitis B among children and young adults, ages 10 to 20 years old. He conducted a mass screening for hepatitis, and learned that 54 percent would die from the disease in the next few years if there was no intervention. The children who were found negative for hepatitis were given

immunization. Dr Cagape also discovered liver cirrhosis and liver cancer among the older people. And due to malnutrition, some elders showed signs of improper brain function, which caused permanent damage to the brain in some of them.

“These people were living in inhumane condition; they didn’t have proper health or medical treatment. There were no doctors who would attend to them, no food that could supply the needed nutrients for their ailing bodies, and what broke my heart the most—their families didn’t know what to do or how to take care of themselves,” Dr. Cagape said.

Dr Cagape said that his decision to serve the poor was influenced by his parents and their family’s Catholic upbringing. His father and mother were active church lay leaders. Dr Cagape said, “They taught us the love of God and to care for others.”

“As long as I see significance and value in what I do, I still have to go on and do more for the people

who need my help. That alone is fine already—knowing that I have a purpose in life, and that this purpose helps people,” Dr Cagape said. “My inspiration is my faith in God. Everything that I do, when I look back, is an answered prayer.”

For his life-saving works of charity driven by his deep faith in God and which he renders among the poor indigenous peoples in Mindanao, the Ateneo de Manila University confers on Dr Roel Z Cagape the Ozanam Award for 2021.

F Fr Heinz was a 32-year old priest teaching philosophy at the University of San Carlos when he came upon the scavengers of the biggest dump sites of Cebu. Before that, he had been assigned in an island in Mindanao, where he stayed for two years to do parish work before teaching philosophy in a seminary in Davao. He moved to Cebu in 1989. Having worked with scavengers in Davao, he wondered where the dump sites of Cebu were. He had been told there were none but he thought otherwise when he saw homeless children scavenging in the city at night. So one day, he got on his motorcycle and followed a dump truck. It led him to Inayawan, a 15-hectare landfill where garbage dump sites could be found.

“I found close to 1000 people scavenging there,” said Fr Heinz. “Many of them were children. In order to get to know them, I decided to stay there for about a month. To share their life, their work, their food…and also their sickness,” he said. “I made friends with these people and they gave me a little shanty. There was a vacated one that they repaired by putting old tires on top and bits of plastic so that rain wouldn’t enter it.” The children taught Fr. Heinz how to find recyclable materials in the dump and would often share their finds with him when they saw his empty basket. “[At] the end of the day I also had roughly one dollar income because of their generosity.”

Inayawan is Cebu’s biggest dump site. In the area, some 625 families or 3000 people lived around a mountain of garbage called Smokey Mountain at one point. When Fr Heinz was working there, trucks would come day and night to dump tons of garbage on the site. The garbage heap was an epicenter of illnesses and accidents but it was also the only source of livelihood for the people living there. Scavengers worked there day and night, including children, some younger than 7 years old,

Fr Heinz Kulüke was the Superior General of the SVD (Societas Verbi Divini) in 2012–2018. Every year, he would go around Asia to visit the work of the Divine Word Missionaries in the region, but three times a year, at the beginning and end of the year, he would stay in Cebu for three weeks to monitor his projects there, particularly those for the children living in the garbage dumps.

who were sent to the dump site by their parents to dig up plastic, glass, and metal objects—anything that could be sold to the junkshops. They were paid 2 to 3 pesos for every sack of recyclables. For some families, their kids’ scavenging work was what helped their survival.

“To help the children was my big concern because I had seen children die on the dump site,” Fr Heinz said in an interview in 2003. “They had a very high infant mortality rate, partly due to malnutrition, basic illnesses, and pneumonia from the toxic fumes and thick smoke from fires on the dump site.” There was a time, he said, when he had to bury 17 children in one week alone.

Fr Heinz felt compelled to get the children out of the garbage dump and he believed that the only way he could do it was through education. At around the time he was contemplating this, he met Fr John Iacono, an Australian missionary who had spent years in Cebu in the 1980s and founded the Cebu Archdiocesan Prison Apostolate.

They put up a day care center for the children’s basic education and nutrition, as well as for their parent’s support. The first makeshift Bethlehem Day Care Centre located on the dump site was replaced by a permanent facility half a kilometer from Smokey Mountain, thanks largely to the donation of Australian supporters of Fr John Iacono’s work. By 2017, the day care center had grown into a network of 75 preschools. More than 3000 children have studied at the center since its founding in 1992 and proceeded to attend elementary and high school.

Fr Heinz enabled the community members to empower themselves. He encouraged the Smokey Mountain residents to gather and discuss their needs among themselves. Fr Heinz assured them of his support should they undertake any project but told them that they had to take the lead. In one of their

first meetings, the residents identified potable water as a priority. Fr Heinz then arranged a meeting of around 400 members of the community with government officials, leading to a project that supplied the community with potable water.

Many other initiatives followed the water project. A sealed access road to the dump site was next constructed. The community was also able to work out with the city council an arrangement to send fire trucks to the dump site as soon as a fire began in order to stop smoke pollution. A relocation project moved half of the families from Smokey Mountain to a safe place close to the dump site, near the almost-completed day care center. Then, a recycling plant that employed members of the community was built beside the dump site.

With financial assistance from Germany and Austria, eight housing projects had been completed as of 2017, providing housing for 5000 families.

FR HEINRICH KULÜKE SVD

That same year, a new housing project for 400 families, or around 2500 people, was ongoing. In 2015, a P60 million housing project in Talisay City provided houses for the people of the Inayawan dump site in Cebu City and the Umapad dump site in Talisay City. It was done in partnership with the Karl Kübel Stiftung für Kind und Familie (KKs Germany) and funded by the German government (BmZ) and the Bethlehem Communities Australia.

Largely because of the work of Fr Kulüke and his organization, the Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation – Integrated Development Center Inc, fewer children spend their days in the dumps. There are also fewer shanties now around the dump site because of the housing projects that Fr Heinz had undertaken for the community.

Fr Heinrich Kulüke svD truly embodies the Ignatian spirit of generosity in the dedicated service he has “given to his fellowmen, especially

the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized, the sick, and the suffering—in faith, justice and love.” For this, the Ateneo de Manila University confers on him the 2021 Bukas Palad Award.

BBUKaS paLad awardOriginally called the Peypoch Award, the Bukas Palad Award honors the Ignatian spirit of generosity and recognizes the dedicated service of the religious and the clergy. Chosen from outside the Society of Jesus, awardees embody the prophetic role of the Church today. They serve as testimonials to Christ’s love in their faithful service, especially to the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized, the sick, and the suffering. The award also aims to remind Ateneans of the need and worthwhileness of priestly and religious vocations.

\De Her interest in food history began in the 1970s when she was writing food-related articles for a women’s magazine. She came upon books on foreign cooking and wondered why we did not have anything like them and why all we had were recipe books. As she did her research, she found material on food history that were largely unused because nobody was writing much about Filipino food.

These food-related artifacts offer glimpses into our history. The menu cards from hotels in the late 19th century, for example, signaled the opening of the Philippines to the world, when foreigners came and hotels were built for their accommodation. A menu of Hotel de Oriente, a hotel that was once on Plaza Calderon de Calderon de la Barca in Binondo, reveals that American and Spanish dishes had been introduced into the country at the time. The 1900 New Year’s Eve menu of the hotel included fresh oyster cocktail, Australian turkey with cranberry sauce, fillet of mullet with parsley sauce, and prime rib au jus.

Felice Sta Maria’s culinary research has resulted in the publication of award-winning books such as The Governor-General’s Kitchen: Philippine Culinary Vignettes and Period Recipes, 1521–1935 (2006) and The Foods of Jose Rizal (2013). A new book, Kain Na: An Illustrated Guide to Popular Philippine Cuisine, co-authored with Bryan Koh, was published in 2019. About to be published is When Mangoes and Olives Met: A Brief Introduction to the Colonial in Philippine Cuisine, 1515–1946.

Sta Maria is also finalizing research on what will be the first lexicon of Philippine colonial-era culinary words based on period dictionaries from 1609 to 1907. She’s also working on Eating Our Words, a sampling of culinary terms from Spanish colonial word lists, dictionaries, and recipe books.

Food may be used as an artifact and a resource for reconstructing a particular historical period, FsMè

To understand who we are by what we eat—this is what motivated cultural historian and advocate Felice Sta Maria to collect menus, books, and old documents for research about Filipino food more than 40 years ago. Many of them were acquired from local antique dealers. “I collect anything and everything that provides primary material for understanding who we are by what we eat,” she said.

providing clues to how people lived at a certain time. Through research on food, “one can find data about a decade’s weather, agriculture, number of eateries and where they were located, markets, new patents for food technology, etc. One can compare the same data for an earlier and a later decade and discover if one of the three decades had a more active food scene than the others. So chronology and facts from closely related multiple academic disciplines are used to flesh out a period in time,” said Sta Maria in an interview.

Sta Maria has learned many things about the Filipino in her research. “It shows us to be appreciative of the food traditions linking us to nature and ancestors. That is valuable in food sustainability… We enjoy new food and food fashions but counterpoint it with a love of heritage comfort and celebratory food.”

Sta Maria also finds that food plays a significant role in the Filipinos’ social life and well-being. “Serving food to others is a path to being happy. Nayánayá, a Cebuano word used in the 1800s, meant two things: to serve food to entertain others, and to be a happy person. Today, nayánayáon means being happy, content, in harmony,” Sta Maria said. “We cope by worrying about whether others have eaten, eaten well, have become happy by assuaging hunger. We also prefer eating with others to eating alone. Words in different languages are specific to that. Food brings people together in good times and in bad. In the group, there is a chance to talk, unburden, joke, cope.” Indeed, Felice Sta Maria has found for us a most interesting way to understand ourselves and certain periods in our history through her work in Filipino food history, culture, and tradition.

Felice Sta Maria has widened her advocacy to include food production and its sustainability. “I do wish more about agriculture, fisheries, animal

husbandry, nutrition, and food security could factor into the discussion. Food history will show how real severe hunger has been… I also wish we would look into the early varieties of botanicals to see which should be revived and why.”

She advocates strongly for food producers. “Food enthusiasts need to really help give better honor to those who grow, catch our food… We need a comprehensive professional scientific review of our food chain (from resources to pricing, for domestic and foreign markets). How can we keep generations wanting to produce food? How can they earn fairly, be treated justly for their hard work? How can the resources they need be sustained—soil, water and their nutrients. How do we deal with food wastage and food waste? All that is part of who we are.”

Beyond her interest and research in food history, Sta Maria has also been a significant figure in the broader fields of museum practice and cultural heritage management. As president of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila soon after the

eDsa Revolution, she worked towards redefining the role of the museum from an institution focused on international art to an institution that advocated museum education and appreciation for Philippine cultural history. Under her guidance, major art historical projects focused on Philippine art were realized. During her term at The Met, she also supported programs towards providing the necessary training for museum workers.

As a cultural advocate, Felice Sta Maria was awarded the Manuel L Quezon Outstanding Quezon City Citizens’ Award in the field of Arts and Culture in 2019. She has served as a commissioner on the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Philippine Centennial Commission, and uNesCO National Commission of the Philippines. Currently, she is a trustee of the Philippine National Museum; a member of the Ayala Museum Board of Advisers; and vice-president and co-founder of the Food Writers Association of the Philippines.

For her work in Filipino food history, culture, and tradition that has attracted Filipinos to have a deeper interest in their history and culture and in other areas related to food—the environment, agriculture, and food production—and for her contributions in the field of museum practice and cultural heritage management, where she makes sure that Philippine art and culture is always front and center, the Ateneo de Manila confers on Felice Prudente Sta Maria the Gawad Tanglaw ng Lahi for 2021.

Justice Antonio Carpio ended his term as a senior associate justice of the Supreme Court on 25 October 2019, after 18 years of service.“It was a very long journey, allowing me to write 935 full-blown decisions, 79 dissenting opinions, 30 concurring opinions, 13 separate opinions and 4 concurring and dissenting opinions—leaving no backlog,” Justice Carpio said in his farewell speech.

Justice Carpio retired from the Supreme Court with a prodigious body of work behind him, but it would be a disservice to describe it as merely prodigious. His writings, in the words of his colleagues, were “clear, erudite, strategic, and always with a perspective towards insisting on a just result that should benefit the Filipino people.”

On the day of his retirement, his fellow magistrates hailed Justice Carpio for his remarkable accomplishments, declaring that his participation and leadership defined an era in the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

“Indeed, [he] has earned his place in the history of the Supreme Court. Many of his writings have become canonical. Many more would become so. He will be known as the quintessential scholar, a patient mentor, an enlightened and patriotic Filipino, a passionate and just jurist. And above all else, a leader for the judiciary,” said Justice Marvic Leonen, as he read the citation for Justice Carpio.

The landmark decisions of Justice Carpio demonstrate his adherence to the impartiality of the Rule of Law—it applies to all, even to the highest officials of the land.

Justice Carpio dissented from the rulings that allowed former President Joseph Estrada to run for public office, that acquitted former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of plunder, and granted bail to former senator Juan Ponce Enrile for plunder charges. He also opposed the ruling that allowed the burial of the former president, Ferdinand Marcos, at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Justice Carpio penned the decision upholding the plunder charge against former senator Jinggoy Estrada and voted to strike down the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDaF) or pork barrel and the condonation doctrine, which considers the elective officials’ reelection as the public’s forgiveness of their faults or misconduct.

When the highest court of the land was visited by upheavals, Justice Carpio was the leader of the judiciary that provided stability. “When needed and on many occasions that the Office of the Chief Justice was vacant, he took on the mantle of leadership for the Court, comfortably and without hesitation. His leadership provided the stability for the institution,” his colleagues said. “He is always a solid anchor; a firm, impenetrable rock; an immovable tower of strength that holds the core together when it truly matters,” they added.

It has been more than a year since his retirement, but Justice Carpio continues to work as a defender of the Philippines’ territory and maritime entitlements in the West Philippine Sea—an advocacy that began ten years ago when he became part of the Philippine team that brought China to court over the dispute in the West Philippine Sea under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (uNClOs).

His work on the said issue began in 2010, when he undertook research on the 9-dash line, on which rests China’s claim to almost the whole of the South China Sea. “I went

to the ancient maps,” he said. “I found out there was no 9-dash line throughout entire dynasties. It was started only in 1947…”

In 2011, Justice Carpio “…already anticipated that Beijing was embarking on a path of unilateral action to establish de facto control over almost the entirety of the South China Sea,” former foreign affairs secretary Albert del Rosario said, and Justice Carpio advised the government to bring China to an uNClOs tribunal.

In 2015, Justice Carpio went on a world lecture tour sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs, presenting the Philippines’ position on the dispute with China in international forums, before think tanks, and in universities in 30 cities in 17 countries. He also wrote the e-book The South China Sea Dispute: Philippine Sovereign Rights and Jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea to prove that the 9-dash line, which is claimed by the Chinese government, has no legal or historical basis.

Justice Carpio played a key role in the Philippines’ historic victory against China before the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

He is “the staunchest defender of our country’s maritime rights and entitlements under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,” said Secretary del Rosario.

“The Philippines is fighting a legal battle not only for itself but also for all mankind. A victory for the Philippines is a victory for all states, coastal and landlocked, that China has shut out of the global commons in the South China Sea,” said Justice Carpio.

“The success of the Philippines in its international arbitration case will stand forever as our nation’s contribution in defense of the rule of law in managing international relations,” del Rosario said.

“As an extraordinary jurist, Justice Carpio is also a staunch defender of the Constitution,

which serves to defend and protect the waters of the Philippines for posterity,” said del Rosario. “His example inspires us to be patriots each day of our lives and to do what is right in the face of adversity,” he added.

In recognition of his invaluable contribution as a leader of the judiciary, as a jurist who upheld the rule of law at all times, and as a strong and committed defender of Philippine territorial and maritime sovereignty, the Ateneo de Manila University confers on Antonio T Carpio the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, for the year 2021.

A Song for Marythe 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.Eyes 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!
