Gascon, a certified public accountant and mother of two boys and a girl, hails from San Francisco, Agusan del Sur, in Caraga. 

She earned her accountancy degree from Central Mindanao University (CMU)  in 2012 before pursuing law at BukSU.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page, the BukSU-College of Law said Gascon’s achievement “stands as a testament to the collective commitment of the college, its faculty, students, and administration in sustaining the highest standards of legal instruction.”

It said Gascon’s distinction as the only one from Mindanao to make it to the top 20 list “represents not only a personal success but also a proud affirmation of the strength of Mindanao’s legal education institutions.”

It also said BukSu, which saw 31 of its law graduates passing the same exam, has trained lawyers for more than two decades, producing graduates the school described as “principled and justice-driven professionals” who are prepared to serve society with distinction. – Rappler.com

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut.

She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
