ARLOU ADRIAN M. LINAAC, J.D.
Hello! I am Arlou Adrian M. Linaac, a Junior Partner at Pallugna, Quimpo, Alenton, Macalos & Partners. My journey in the legal field began within the esteemed corridors of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Legal Division, where I was entrenched in the enforcement and development of environmental laws in the Philippines. Before becoming a lawyer, I had worked as a legal researcher for the DENR, drafting opinions and decisions on environmental and land concerns. Eventually, as a DENR lawyer, I proudly stood as the state’s advocate, prosecuting those accused of environmental offenses.
Education and Professional Background
I cultivated my academic foundation by earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan. With my devotion to service and leadership, I served as the President of the student government of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University in my final year. Subsequently, I pursued my legal ardor, attaining a Bachelor of Laws and a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Liceo de Cagayan University. The culmination of these efforts bore fruit in 2022 when I triumphantly conquered the BAR Exams.
