Early life

[edit]

Pilario was born in Barangay (village) Hagdan, Oslob, Cebu.[4]

As University President

[edit]

As a newly installed president of Adamson University, Pilario reminded his colleagues that their Vincentian institution is not a business and they have the challenge that runs deeper. He said: "In the language of business, our students are our clients or customers. They should be happy with the way that we serve them. Of course, we have the duty to form and discipline them. But our students can feel whether we are fake or sincere, whether we do it as power-tripping or in service to their growth... (W)e should take care of the most vulnerable among us."[5] He said that they would focus on the university's "technical education and the Vincentians’ humanities tradition."[6]

As Professor and Dean of School of Theology

[edit]

From 2002 to 2023, Pilario wrote scholarly articles and Op-ed pieces meant for colleagues and policymakers, and helped promote social justice.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
