Biography
Yuzon graduated from Pampanga High School San Fernando in 1925. He obtained a Master of Arts, Master of Science in Business Administration, Ll. M, and Litt. D. He was a member of the 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.[1]
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.[1]
In 1963, Yuzon founded the United Poets Laureate International, an international group for passionate poets from countries all over the world aiming to promote global peace, brotherhood, and understanding through poetry.[2] It was nominated for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize by Filipino legislator Angel Macapagal.[3]
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. Шаблон:Citation needed
