“Ang umibig ay isang desisyon upang manatiling umiibig.”
— Ricky Lee, Kalahating Bahaghari

The University Library Gender and Development Committee joins in celebrating this June as a time to reaffirm our commitment to love, respect, equality, and inclusion.

As we continue to celebrate Pride and honor diverse stories, experiences, and identities, may we also choose every day to practice understanding, uphold dignity, and nurture spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and free to be themselves.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈📚

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Prof. Zosimo E. Lee, PhD of the Department of Philosophy. He was 73 years old.

He was the Dean of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy from 2004 to 2010, serving two (2) consecutive terms. A champion of interdisciplinary research and a proponent of John Rawl’s justice as fairness, he was a steadfast supporter of student-led movements and activities.

His towering physique hides a kind and gentle voice that speaks of the value of balance, reason, and introspection. He strolled through the corridors of Palma Hall with an almost solemn pensiveness that earned him the nickname, “Walking Dean”. He will be dearly missed.

His wake will be held at Room 308, St. Peter Chapels, Quezon Avenue from June 6-8, 2026.
