The Manila Times’ President, CEO, and concurrent Executive Editor Dante Ang 2nd was honored on Sunday by his alma mater, Texas A&M University-Commerce, as one of six Distinguished Alumnus awardees. The Texas A&M University System is the state’s first public institution of higher learning and research. In its impressive 127-year history, it has only granted the Distinguished Alumnus Award to 146 individuals. “I have so many fond memories of school, which was called East Texas State University [Estu] when I was there a long time ago,” he chuckled. He was given Texas A&M University-Commerce’s Distinguished Alumnus Award along with Peggy Leeman Ramirez, Major General John Speigel, Chester McKinney [posthumously], Bill Nicholson, Mark Von Schwartz, and Charles Wilson.
