124th Birth Anniversary of a Lasallian patriot, nationalist and lawyer, Sen. Lorenzo “Ka Tanny” Tañada

Today, we commemorate the 124th Birth Anniversary of a Lasallian patriot, nationalist and lawyer, Sen. Lorenzo “Ka Tanny” Tañada, Sr.

Ka Tanny graduated at the top of his high school class in De La Salle College in 1918. He obtained his law degree from the University of the Philippines and later earned advanced degrees in law from Harvard Law School and the University of Santo Tomas. Ka Tanny served as a Solicitor General, Special Prosecutor, judge, and Senator of the Republic.

On 22 February 2022, De La Salle University dedicated the name of its College of Law to him and Sen. Jose “Ka Pepe” Diokno; whose lives exemplify the ideals and values of true Lasallians. Through its Tañada-Diokno College of Law, De La Salle University seeks to mold future lawyers who will emulate the love of God and country of these two exemplary Lasallians.
