The mandate has been conferred. The responsibility now begins.

The ULS College of Law proudly presents its newly elected Student Council Officers.

The conclusion of this electoral exercise is not merely the proclamation of those who have prevailed. It is the solemn affirmation of the trust reposed by the Salettinian community in individuals who are now called to lead with integrity, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the common good.

Leadership within a College of Law demands more than vision and resolve. It requires the discipline to uphold principle over convenience, the courage to act with fairness, and the humility to recognize that public office is, above all, a public trust. The confidence bestowed upon these officers is not an honor to be possessed, but a duty to be faithfully discharged.

As you begin this chapter of service, may your leadership reflect the highest ideals of our institution and the noble aspirations of the legal profession. May your actions strengthen our community, your decisions inspire confidence, and your service leave a legacy worthy of the trust that has been placed in you.

To our fellow Salettinians, thank you for your meaningful participation in this democratic exercise. May we continue to foster a community where leadership is earned through service and sustained by accountability.

Be competent, but never at the expense of character.

Be influential, but never without ethics.

Be leaders, but always in the service of others.

Congratulations to the newly elected officers of the ULS College of Law Student Council. May your tenure be defined not by the offices you hold, but by the lives you uplift and the values you faithfully uphold.

THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE.

Academic Year Orientation 2026–2027
Before the first case is assigned, before the first recitation begins, and before the halls once again echo with the rhythm of law school, there comes a moment that marks the beginning of another chapter.

For some, this will be their first step into the College of Law—carrying dreams, questions, and the courage to begin. For others, it will be a return to a journey already shaped by long nights, difficult readings, meaningful lessons, and the determination to keep going.

Different stories. Different beginnings. One shared purpose.

The Academic Year Orientation 2026–2027 is more than a welcome. It is a gathering of aspiring advocates and future Salettinian lawyers as they prepare to take on another year of learning, growth, and service.

The road ahead will not always be easy. There will be challenges to face, lessons to master, and moments that will test the strength behind every dream. But with every page turned, every recitation survived, and every challenge overcome, another part of the journey takes shape.

As the doors open for a new academic year, may we enter with renewed purpose, open minds, and the courage to move forward—one step, one lesson, and one day at a time.

Because every journey begins somewhere.
And the next chapter starts here.

𝑨𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒓 𝑰𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒂.
The door is opening.

Before the first case is read, before the first recitation is called, and before the long nights begin, there is a door waiting to be opened.

Behind it are unfamiliar faces, pages yet to be turned, questions waiting to be answered, and a journey that will ask for more than intelligence, it will ask for courage, discipline, and the will to keep going.

For some, this is the beginning of a lifelong dream. For others, it is the first step toward a purpose they have only begun to understand.

Soon, the halls of the University of La Salette, Inc. – College of Law will welcome a new batch of aspiring advocates—ready to learn, to be challenged, and to discover what it truly means to pursue justice.

Beyond the Classroom: ULS College of Law Advances Indigenous Rights Awareness in San Pugo, Nagtipunan

SAN PUGO, Nagtipunan, Quirino -- The pursuit of justice extends far beyond classroom and courtrooms. On June 20, 2026, students from the University of La Salette, Inc. - College of Law took a step toward making legal education more accessible as they conducted an Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) Lecture and Outreach Program for members of the Bugkalot Tribe in Barangay San Pugo, Nagtipunan, Quirino.

The activity gathered community members, local officials, and law students in a shared effort to promote awareness of the rights guaranteed under Republic Act No. 8371, otherwise known as the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act of 1997. More than a lecture series, the program served as a meaningful engagement between future legal practitioners and an indigenous community whose cultural heritage continues to shape the identity of the region.

The program formally opened with remarks from Lourd Gil G. Domingo, Student Council President of the College of Law, followed by the welcome address of Barangay Captain Coloma Dawang, who expressed appreciation for the initiative and its contribution to community empowerment through legal education.

Highlighting the significance of the event, Hon. Norbert B**g S. Obedoza, Professor of Law on Indigenous Peoples, emphasized that the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act was enacted to recognize, protect, and promote the rights of Indigenous Peoples, ensuring the preservation of their cultural integrity, ancestral domains, and right to self-determination.

The lecture proper began with Ms. Danica Manucdoc, who introduced the fundamental concepts and objectives of IPRA, providing participants with a clearer understanding of the law and its relevance to indigenous communities. Building upon this foundation, Mr. Domingo discussed the four pillars of rights recognized under the law: the right to ancestral domains and lands, the right to self-governance and empowerment, social justice and human rights, and the right to cultural integrity. The discussion underscored the importance of these rights in safeguarding the welfare and identity of Indigenous Peoples, including the Bugkalot community.

Complementing the discussion on indigenous rights, Ms. Kynlet Domingo presented the salient provisions of the Katarungang Pambarangay, highlighting the value of peaceful conflict resolution and the role of community-based mechanisms in maintaining harmony and order. Participants were encouraged to embrace dialogue and cooperation as essential tools in strengthening relationships within the community.

Anchored on the theme, “Panangsalaknib iti Karbengan Dagiti Katutubo ken Panagpasayaat iti Kapia iti Komunidad” (Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Promoting Peace in the Community), the outreach program reinforced the shared responsibility of protecting indigenous rights while fostering peace, respect, and inclusive development.

Beyond the discussions and presentations, the activity reflected the College of Law's commitment to bringing legal education closer to the communities it serves. It also provided law students with an opportunity to witness firsthand how legal principles affect the lioves of people on the ground, particularly those belonging to historically marginalized sectors.

As knowledge and experiences were exchanged between the participants and the facilitators, the program became more than an academic undertaking. It became a testament to the power of education, dialogue, and community partnership in promoting awareness and empowerment.

For the members of the Bugkalot Tribe, the activity strengthened understanding of the rights afforded to them by law. For the law students, it served as a reminder that the true essence of the law lies not merely in its provisions, but in its capacity to uphold dignity, protect rights, and create meaningful impact in the lives of the people it seeks to serve.
