Darren Anthony Manibog

The Manibog Law, PC story begins over 100 years ago, when a university student in the Philippine, Gonzalo Manibog, accepted an invitation from the U.S. government to continue his university studies in America.  Six year later, in 1917, he received his law degree from the University of Indianapolis, becoming the first Filipino to receive a law degree in the United States.  Gonzalo practiced law in Hawaii, representing neighbors, friends and local families.  His son, Monty Manibog, followed in his footsteps, becoming a lawyer in 1961.  Their legacy continues at Manibog Law, PC a family business led by Darren A. Manibog (Monty's son and Gonzalo's grandson) a 1996 graduate from the UC Berkeley School of Law.  As a third-generation lawyer, Darren witnessed from an early age the impact that the law can have on people's lives, and developed an abiding passion to carry on his grandfather's and father's commitment to service in the law.
