LAWYER-EDUCATOR
Atty. Rhodora Peñaroyo-Lo is a lawyer who proudly identifies first and foremost as a teacher. She began teaching at the USLS College of Law in 2010, teaching courses such as Gender and the Law and Information Technology Law. Through her teaching, she has been given many opportunities to lecture on important issues including women's and children's rights, gender equality, and digital responsibility—topics that are both timely and significant, particularly in empowering women.
In 2025, she reached a major milestone in her professional
journey when she was appointed Dean of the USLS College of Law.
The role opened doors to new opportunities for leadership,
program development, and community building while carrying the
responsibility of guiding an entire community of law students
and legal professionals. She considers this achievement
especially meaningful, having earned it through merit,
dedication, and hard work.
Her own Lasallian journey began earlier as a scholar of the Handumanang Science Foundation, which enabled her to pursue quality Christian Lasallian education through opportunity earned by perseverance and excellence.
Atty. Peñaroyo-Lo embodies the Lasallian commitment to values-driven leadership and education:
Through teaching and public engagement, she continues to help shape future lawyers who practice law with competence, conscience, and compassion.
Atty. Peñaroyo-Lo encourages young women to simply show up and do their best every day:
She reminds women that true strength also comes from the people who stand beside us. Above all, she remains deeply grateful for the love and support of her parents, husband, and children, whose acceptance and encouragement give her the courage to face the challenges of each day.
