Saint Paul School of Professional Studies (SPSPS) held a tribute program recognizing the retirement of Faculty of Law professor Atty. Leo S. Giron, honoring his 16 years of dedicated service to the institution.
In a short program attended by school officials, faculty members, and staff, SPSPS formally expressed its gratitude to Atty. Giron’s long-standing contribution to legal education and academic development.
Over the years, he became part of something larger than himself. More than 170 lawyers walked out of the program carrying traces of his teaching. In that cumulative way, his influence was recognized as instrumental in strengthening the school’s reputation in legal education and professional formation.
As part of the ceremony, SPSPS Board of Trustees presented Atty. Giron with a plaque of recognition and a token of appreciation.
The award highlighted his commitment to teaching, mentorship, and academic excellence. The tribute emphasized that his contributions extend beyond instruction, reflected in the generations of law graduates he guided and the standard of professionalism he helped strengthen within the academic community.
Atty. Giron is a seasoned lawyer, professor, and community leader whose lifelong devotion to faith and service finds vibrant expression in his art.
Born in Tacloban City, he has dedicated decades to the law and public service, earning numerous awards, including the IBP Sinag Lifetime Achievement Award (2025). Alongside his legal career, he has nurtured a passion for painting, creating works that blend spirituality, tradition, and personal devotion.
