UP PTP Holds Closing Ceremonies for its 36th Foundation Course

The UP Law Center Paralegal Training Program (PTP) formally concluded its 36th Foundation Course (PTP 36) last August 22, 2026, with a closing ceremony held at the Atencio-Libunao Hall, UP Diliman. The ceremony brought together 233 participants who completed the program’s training in legal fundamentals and practical paralegal skills.

The Managing Partner of SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan Law, Atty. Hector M. De Leon Jr., was the guest speaker for this occasion. He underscored the important role paralegals play in the work of a law firm, which includes the support they provide to lawyers and the work that enables legal services to be carried out effectively.

The ceremony served as both a recognition of the graduates’ commitment to their training and a reminder of the responsibility that comes with becoming a certificated paralegal of the UP Law Center.

Congratulations, PTP 36! May your training continue to guide you as you contribute to the work of the legal profession and the administration of justice.

Contracts 101: A Legal Writing Seminar, held on June 3-4, 2026, successfully concluded after two days of meaningful learning and discussions.

The seminar provided an opportunity to move beyond theory and engage with the realities of legal practice, from understanding the structure and purpose of contracts to analyzing legal issues and preparing contract outputs based on factual scenarios.

The UP Law Center Paralegal Training Program thanks everyone who took part in making this seminar a success. We hope that the knowledge and skills gained from this program will continue to support professional growth and contribute to making legal services more accessible and effective.

Last June 3 was the first day of Contracts 101: A Legal Writing Seminar, which brought together paralegals and aspiring paralegals for a full day of learning and discussion on the fundamentals of contract writing.

Through lectures and interactive exercises, participants gained a deeper understanding of how contracts operate in practice and why clear legal writing remains essential in both professional and everyday settings.

She encouraged the graduates to use their knowledge in service of the public: “May your knowledge be a tool in making the law accessible for all… palaging para sa bayan.”

On behalf of the graduates, Mr. Melchor P. Dioso expressed gratitude for the training and affirmed their commitment to contribute meaningfully to the justice system, noting that the work of paralegals includes helping others understand and navigate the law.
