De La Salle University inaugurated the Enrique K. Razon Jr. Hall, a state-of-the-art facility that underscores the university’s commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and environmental sustainability.

The inauguration of the facility at DLSU Laguna Campus, held on December 5, was attended by Mr. Enrique K. Razon Jr., Chairman and President of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), including officers from ICTSI, DLSU administrators and stakeholders.

In a world that often measures success in titles and salaries, the life journey of a Lasallian scholar reminds us that true achievement lies in integrity, purpose, and giving back. 

Darwin Lazatin graduated from Don Bosco Academy in Pampanga and always dreamt of studying at DLSU.  With finances tight, he took the risk of competing for a full scholarship. “It’s the quality of education that La Salle provides and also the financial aspect that La Salle can help me to get an education through a scholarship,” he shared. 

He entered DLSU in 1990 under the Computer Science program, the first batch to use the then newly opened Gokongwei Building. Life as a scholar came with pressures, but Darwin embraced them. “I never told classmates I was a scholar. I just let my work speak for itself,” he recalls.
