[edit] 2010 Ateneo commencement address
During the Ateneo de Manila University graduation rites on March 26 and 27, 2010, Pangilinan was invited to deliver a speech for the graduating class, after being awarded an honorary degree in recognition of his services and contributions to the University. The speeches caused controversy as various parts of them were found to have been lifted from similar graduation speeches made by Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, JK Rowling, and Conan O'Brien.[3][4][5] Pangilinan openly admitted to the act in a written apology to Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, SJ, President of the Ateneo de Manila University, and offered to resign from his official duties in the Ateneo out of "deep personal embarrassment." [6] Fr. Nebres's immediate reaction was not to accept Pangilinan's resignation, but to defer judgment to his board.[7]
