It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Virgilio U. Manzano (November 7, 1954 – June 15, 2024), a revered former faculty member of the UP College of Education. He served with dedication as a Professor of Curriculum Studies, Chair of the Division of Curriculum and Instruction (2016-2019), Cluster Coordinator of the EDFD-EDCS-NFE Cluster (2015-2016), College Secretary (2008-2009), and Director of the UP Center for International Studies (2006-2007).
We extend our deepest sympathies to Dr. Manzano’s family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. He will be remembered fondly for his kindness, wisdom, and remarkable achievements.
Rest in peace, Dr. Manzano!
