GMA News reporter Emil Sumangil was also recognized as Grandes Figuras while the late German Moreno was honored with a Post Humous Award, which was received by his son, Federico Moreno.

Other awardees were Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop emeritus Oscar Cruz, film director Jose Javier Reyes, Ariel Villasanta, and Sen. Manny Pacquiao.

Letran established the "400 Grandes Figuras" to honor "400 outstanding alumni who are living examples of being a true Letranite."

Letran will be celebrating its Quadricentennial Year in 2020.

Congratulations, mga Kapuso!
