As higher education continues to place greater emphasis on collaboration, research, and knowledge exchange, Colegio de San Juan de Letran–Manila has taken another step toward strengthening its academic partnerships through a Memorandum of Agreement with Pambayang Dalubhasaan ng Marilao (PDM).

The MOA signing was led by Rev. Fr. Raymund Fernando P. Jose, O.P., Rector and President, who served as signatory on behalf of Letran, with Prof. Danilo K. Villena, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Asst. Prof. Louie Ian Mariano, MEN, Director of the Office for Innovation, Research, Planning and Quality Assurance, serving as witnesses. Representing PDM were Dr. Ma. Theresa B. Aquino, Ph.D., President, and Dr. Dolores DC. Cajucom, Ph.D., School Administrator.

The partnership establishes a framework for joint research initiatives, scholarly publications, academic exchanges, conferences, curriculum enrichment, capacity-building activities, and other collaborative academic endeavors. It also provides opportunities for future industry partnerships and experiential learning activities through separate activity-specific agreements when applicable.
Through this collaboration, Letran Manila and PDM aim to strengthen research capacity, expand academic opportunities, and promote meaningful knowledge exchange among students, faculty members, and researchers.

The agreement reinforces both institutions’ shared commitment to academic excellence, innovation, ethical scholarship, and institutional development, while creating sustainable avenues for future academic and research cooperation.
