De la Rosa first won the award in 2021, followed by another win for the same column last year. He has been a weekly columnist for the Manila Bulletin since 1990.
Dela Rosa was the University’s rector from 1990 to 1998 and 2008 to 2012. He served as chairman of the Commission on Higher Education under former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
De la Rosa teaches at the UST Faculty of Sacred Theology as a full-time professor, specializing in Church history.
