THE once-prestigious Kappa Gamma Phi (Knights of the Golden Fleece) fraternity of the Manuel L. Quezon University is being reorganized by a convenors’ group headed by lawyer Lamberto “Bert” Nanquil, former judge Marino dela Cruz Jr., lawyer Rudegelio Tacorda, counsel Romy Landicho and  former National Press Club director Jun Velasco as members.

At a luncheon meeting on Oct. 28 at Tacorda’s law office in Diliman, Quezon City, the group decided to infuse a “brand-new activism” into the fraternity based on scholarship, academic excellence and student leadership—the group’s philosophical anchor, Nanquil said.

Since MLQU’s founding date in l947, the fraternity has been on the forefront of academic excellence in such courses as law, education, public service and journalism.

The fraternity began to flounder with the imposition of Martial Law in the country, when many of its members left the country and the political scene. Among former members were former Justice Secretary Ricardo Puno, former Supreme Court  Justice Leonardo Quisumbing, Presidential Executive Assistant Dr. Guillermo de Vega, former Manila Mayor Antonio Vilegas, former RTC Judge Aloysius Alday and former Labor Secretary Amado Gat Inciong.

Members have been requested to contact the secretariat in Cubao and/or Diliman, Quezon City through  Atty. Nanquil 09175834750, Atty. Tacorda  09178233351; or executive director Jun Velasco 0906725245.
