President Rodrigo Duterte told graduates of his alma mater, San Beda University, he envied them for being able to attend their graduation rites, which were denied him by school authorities after he shot a fellow student on campus back in 1972.

In his commencement speech on Tuesday, the President regaled the graduates with tales of his time as a student at the then San Beda College, where he almost lost his law degree because of the shooting and later had to beg on his knees for forgiveness from his mother for keeping it a secret.

“In the last days of our year, we’re practicing, suddenly there was this happening inside the school,” he said, referring to the shooting, which got him expelled even before his graduation.

Secret from mom

He kept his expulsion a secret from his mother, Soledad, who was asking him when she needed to fly from Davao City to Manila to attend his graduation.

The President told his mother that the priests decided not to hold graduation ceremonies since Mendiola, where San Beda is located, was “chaotic” because of martial law.

He was eventually pardoned by the school authorities and allowed to take the bar exams later that year after being issued a certification that he had graduated from San Beda College of Law.

He told his mother that the school simply held a Mass and gave each student a blank diploma, but were assured that graduation ceremonies would still be held.

Years later, when he was already mayor of Davao City, some teachers from San Beda traveled to Bukidnon and made a side trip to Davao City to meet him.

The President said he was in Taiwan at that time, so they met his mother instead.
