Northwestern University commemorates the 165th Birth Anniversary of G*t Jose P. Rizal.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of our national hero whose ideals of patriotism, education, and love for country continue to inspire generations of Filipinos. Through his writings and unwavering pursuit of reform, Rizal reminded us that knowledge is a powerful force for nation-building.

The honorific "G*t," short for "G*tdula," was once used for members of the Filipino nobility. Today, it is placed before Rizal's name as a mark of respect, recognizing his enduring legacy and stature as one of the nation's greatest heroes.

As we celebrate his 165th birth anniversary, may we continue to embody the values of integrity, excellence, and service in our pursuit of a brighter future.

Northwestern University celebrates the Laoag City Charter Day, honoring the rich history, heritage, and continued progress of the Sunshine City.

As a proud educational institution rooted in Laoag, NWU celebrates this milestone with gratitude for the city's enduring legacy and its commitment to growth, excellence, and community development.

The creation of Laoag as a chartered city was ratified through a plebiscite conducted by its residents, marking a significant moment in the city's history and affirming the people's support for its transition into a chartered city.

Happy Charter Day, Laoag City! May we continue to move forward together, inspired by our shared history and driven by a vision for a brighter future.

Northwestern University and the Philippine Political Science Association (PPSA) formalize a partnership that opens new opportunities for collaboration, learning, and innovation in Political Science education.

Northwestern University's BA Political Science students and faculty members joined the PPSA North Luzon Caravan 2026, gaining valuable insights from leading political science scholars while fostering academic collaboration across Northern Luzon. NWU is honored to be the next host of this significant academic gathering.

Northwestern University joins the nation in commemorating 128th Araw ng Kasarinlan, a celebration of the Filipino people's enduring pursuit of freedom, self-determination, and nationhood.

While kalayaan refers to freedom or liberty, kasarinlan speaks to a nation's independence and ability to govern itself. Together, these ideals reflect the values at the heart of Philippine Independence Day.

As we reflect on our shared history, may we continue to uphold the values of courage, responsibility, and service that shape a stronger future for our communities and our country.

Maligayang Araw ng Kasarinlan, Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
