The Lasallian Community is saddened by
the passing of Mr. John Gokongwei, Jr.

He received his Masters degree in Business Administration from De La Salle University in 1977 and has, since then, been an ardent supporter of education. Through his efforts, countless Lasallian students and scholars were able to reach greater heights. His recent contribution resulted in the John Gokongwei, Jr. Innovation Center, a four-storey building in the DLSU Laguna campus.

His commitment to education, however, extended way beyond La Salle; he has also supported various educational institutions in the country.

We, the entire Lasallian Family, are proud to call him a Lasallian, and extend our condolences to his family.
