the DLSU-Manila campus. Let us accord him our full and earnest
support,” Brother Roly said.
Brother Andrew was DLSU System President for 16 years, beginning
1979 until 1991, and again in 1992 up to 1998 before joining

College of Liberal Arts, the College of Education, the College
of Engineering, the College of Science, and the College of
Business and Economics. The office is also in charge of the
