Philippine Bar Examination and professor at the
Far Eastern University and at
Quezon College in
Manila. Among his edited journals are "Ing Catuliran" and "La Libertad". During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, Yuzon was a minor government employee. From 1946 to 1949, Yuzon was member of the
Congress of the Philippines, where he represented Pampanga. He had been elected as a
Democratic Alliance candidate. Yuzon's candidature had sparked controversy at the
fourth national congress of the Communist Party of the Philippines, where Pampanga delegates had walked out in protest against the opposition of the politburo majority to Yuzon's candidature. Yuzon was however, once elected, barred from taking his seat in the parliament. It was nominated for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize by Filipino legislator Angel Macapagal. Amado Yuzon was first married to Oliva Almario Reyes; they had three sons. His second marriage to Fortunata Quiambao Aquino (daughter of
Servillano Aquino and sister of
Benigno "Igno" Aquino Sr.) produced four children: Virgilio, Maria Teresa, Maria Remedios, and Maria Lourdes. Maria Teresa died at the age of two. ==Opus==
