The professorial chairs will honor Mrs. Aquino and the late senator’s commitment to the role of private industry in nation building, ethical and good governance and give added recognition to their belief that the practice of management should ultimately result in the improvement of the human condition.
The Benigno S. Aquino Jr. professorial chair will serve as the focal point and inspiration for further research and perpetuate Aquino’s efforts in promoting corporate social responsibility and good governance in his lifetime.
Philip Ella Juico, dean of the DLSU Graduate School of Business, will be the recipient of the Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino Distinguished Professorial Chair in Business Management.
