THE PJLFI AND ITS BEGINNINGS

On its sixth year from incorporation, the PJLFI has so far produced eighty-three (83) graduates, more than thirty-six percent (36%) of whom graduated with honors and/or special awards (4 Magna Cum Laudes, 15 Cum Laudes and 11 Special Awards). From an original of fifty-eight (58), the scholarship slots have since been increased to one hundred seventy-two (172), including the scholarship slots for children or siblings of PJLGC employees and the various special scholars of Amb. Philippe J. Lhuillier, Mrs. Edna D. Lhuillier and Mr. Jean-Henri D. Lhuillier

Lhuillier Lecture Room" at the University of the Philippines College of Business Administration (UPCBA) in Diliman, Quezon City, the PJLFI Montessori Pagsasarili Classroom in Angeles Elementary School in Pampanga, the Novitiate House of the Dominican Daughters of the Immaculate Mother in Angat, Bulacan, as well as the holding of the Annual Create-a-Business Contests for UPCBA graduating students, the regular donations and/or gift-giving to the UP-PGH Cancer Institute, the Create-a-Job for the Disabled Foundation, the Caritas Manila, the Street Pals Foundation, Inc., various orphanages and homes for the aged and other social institutions, and the various relief operations for disaster victims like those of the Quezon and Leyte landslides, among others.
