Marco Angelo Cabrera: Correct Movement Moderated Forum:
"The late and great former Senator Jose "Ka Pepe" Diokno, was not only a brilliant CPA-lawyer and politician but was also one of those who realized that the Malolos Constitution (which had a parliamentary system without protectionist economic policies embedded in it) was a far superior charter than the ones that came after. This is the Diokno I idolize."
Our trivia for today.
Jose W. Diokno earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce Summa Cum Laude in 1940 at De La Salle College (now De La Salle University). He took the CPA Board Exam in 1940 while he was in his second year in law school and placed No. 1.
He was home-schooled by his father, former SC justice Ramon Diokno. In 1944, he petitioned the Supreme Court to take the Bar Exams without a law degree. The Supreme Court granted his petition, and he took the Bar Exams and tied with the Class Valedictorian of U.P. for the 1st Place with a grade of 95.3.
Diokno is the only one who placed 1st in both the CPA board exams & the Bar Exams.
