Taguig City, Philippines – June 2025 — Emilio Peralta, a graduate of Enderun Colleges with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, has successfully passed the entrance examination for the prestigious Juris Doctor Program at Ateneo Law School. With no interview required, Emilio’s acceptance is a testament to both his academic excellence and the rigorous preparation he received at Enderun.

“I was honestly surprised,” Emilio shares. “The exam was incredibly challenging, but the knowledge and mindset I gained from my time at Enderun gave me the edge I needed to succeed.”

A firm believer in using his skills to help others, Emilio’s decision to pursue law was driven by a deeper sense of purpose. “I knew from the beginning I wanted to serve—not just my friends and family, but the broader community. Law gives me the platform to do that.”

While awaiting the next chapter in his legal journey, Emilio has already co-founded a consulting firm that helps businesses make informed corporate and investment decisions—a bold move that reflects his proactive mindset and entrepreneurial spirit.

Emilio attributes much of his preparedness to Enderun’s competitive academic culture. “Everyone wants to stand out—whether it’s through top internships, excellent academic records, or professional growth. That environment pushed me to become more than just a good student; it helped me become a well-rounded, strategic thinker.”

He also credits the mentorship he received from professors like Mr. Durwin Santos and Mr. Ronan Santos, as well as Enderun’s strong emphasis on global perspectives, leadership, and critical thinking. These core values, he says, shaped his academic ambition and gave him a clear edge over other law school applicants.

“Enderun offers opportunities that even larger universities can’t always provide—exclusive events, real-world exposure, and valuable connections. I learned to never take those for granted.”

As he begins law school, Emilio is most excited about growing into the best version of himself while proudly representing his roots. “I want people to know that no matter where you start—introverted, average, or unsure—if you have a strong ‘why,’ you can go far. I carry Enderun with me wherever I go.”

For aspiring lawyers at Enderun, Emilio offers this advice: “Ask yourself who you’re doing it for. If you know your ‘why’ and are willing to put in the work, law school is just the beginning.”
