Congratulations to the Animo Bar and Bench Society of De La Salle University–Dasmariñas College of Law for proudly representing the Philippines on the world stage at the White & Case Finals of the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition held from March 28 to April 4, 2026 in Washington, D.C., USA.

Led by Team Captain Charles Andrew S. Vasquez, together with Ma. Antonette O. Gutierrez and Jaymelyn A. Reyes, and guided by faculty coach Atty. Jannell R. Cajote-Gerodiaz, the team stood among 150+ law schools worldwide—an impressive feat made even more remarkable as this is their first-ever moot court competition as part of the College of Law’s pioneer batch.

As an exhibition team, they faced universities from Ottawa (Canada), Georgia (USA), Uganda, and Kosovo—showcasing not only their advocacy skills but also the growing excellence of DLSU-D in the field of international law and mooting.

The Animo Bar and Bench Society also recognizes the contributions of Angelica Therese Ferrer, Hans Angelo Henave, and Liana Reigne Bongao, alongside coaches Atty. Dan Christian Ramos and Atty. Christianne Noelle De Vera, whose efforts strengthened the team throughout the competition.

This milestone was made possible through the generous support of sponsors, donors, mentors, and the entire Lasallian community whose trust and belief enabled the team to carry the name of De La Salle University–Dasmariñas onto the global stage.

The future is bright for DLSU- D College of Law.

Animo! 💚🏹

The Animo Bar and Bench Society of De La Salle University – Dasmariñas proudly celebrates its historic achievement in the Philippine National Rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition, held at the University of Santo Tomas.

The team was recognized as the Highest-Scoring Team in the First-Time Participant category, qualifying them for the prestigious White & Case Finals as an exhibition team representing the Philippines.

In their first-ever competition, the team finished with an impressive 2–2 win–loss record, a remarkable feat that reflects their dedication and competitive spirit on the national stage.

The team, led by Team Captain Charles Andrew Vasquez, with oralists Angelica Therese Ferrer, Ma. Antonette Gutierrez, and Jaymelyn Reyes also earned the distinction of ranking 4th Best Memorial for Respondents.

This remarkable accomplishment would not have been possible without the dedicated mentorship and guidance of their esteemed coaches — Atty. Dan Christian Ramos, Atty. Christian Noelle De Vera, Atty. Janelle Gerodiaz, Atty. Ivan Valcos, and Atty. Jessie Salvador — experienced mooters during their law school years and distinguished practitioners in the legal profession.

The team was likewise ably supported by Team Manager and Researcher Hans Angelo Henave and Liana Reigne Bongao, whose invaluable contributions played a significant role in this milestone for the Animo Bar and Bench Society.

This remarkable achievement marks only the beginning of a bright future for the Animo Bar and Bench Society, as it continues to expand its advocacy through excellence, determination, and perseverance. May you continue to embody and showcase the Animo Spirit in all that you do. 💚🤍
