There are
no classes tomorrow,
March 9, 2010. This announcement made official to all
Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) branches Nationwide which includes Cavite, Laguna, Makati, Manila and Batangas. This is in lieu with the
birthday celebration of
Jose P. Laurel. To give you an idea about
Jose P. Laurel, he was from Tanauan Batangas and became the president of the Philippines from 1943-1945. The presidency of
Laurel understandably remains one of the most controversial in Philippine history. After the war, he would be denounced in some quarters as a war collaborator or even a traitor, although his indictment for treason was superseded by President Roxas' Amnesty Proclamation, and evidenced by his subsequent electoral success.
He was married Pacencia Hidalgo in 1915, and had nine children. Several of his children became famous politicians in their own right. When he retired from public life, He concentrated on the development of the Lyceum of the Philippines, a school which is currently renowned as of the day.
Once again, to all lyceans who still not know why we have no classes tomorrow. It’s because we are celebrating our founder's birthday.
