Cordillera - A Filipino-New Zealand-Australian gifted child becomes the world's youngest law graduate at the age of 18.
Jozef Maynard Borja Erece, a proud Cordilleran is arguably the youngest person ever admitted to the legal profession and youngest law graduate in the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.
Mr. Erece was born in New Zealand in 1996 to Filipino parents and was recognized as a gifted child.
By the age of 3, he was already reading, and by 11, he was in high school, graduating as Valedictorian in 2011 from St. Peter's Catholic School in Cambridge.
In 2011, he was offered a spot in Stanford University's Institutes' Program, a special course for gifted youth, but declined the opportunity. Instead, he chose to attend the University of Southern Queensland in 2012, where he completed his Bachelor's degree in Law in just three years.
Jozef is the son of Dr. Maynard Victor Erece who went to Magsaysay Elementary School in New Lucban, Baguio city and worked as a criminal lawyer, prosecutor and an educator.
Her mother, Dr, Josephine Ana Borja Erece, a medical doctor by profession went to St. Louis Center and graduated as valedictorian.
Jozef Maynard Borja Erece is known for his exceptional abilities, being called a genius, polymath, and child prodigy.
He has received widespread recognition for his achievements and his journey has been widely covered by the media.

Congratulations. Your too young but an achiever. God bless you more.
Young lawyer, you came much, much too late. Had you been a lawyer back in the late 1800s, the whole of Benguet could have been totally owned by the igorots and not the lowlanders today.

Wow congratulation
Swerte nya recognized ang pagiging genius nya sa pinuntahang bansa. Actually madaming Pinoy kids ang born genius lalo na sa ibang bansa kaso ung bansa na un mas focus sa equality kaya kahit genius ang bata, nasasayang lang kasi di sya makakuha ng recognition. Speaking from own experience.
Hi Atty Erece,hope you can assist and defend DG. Bantag from false accusations
Congratulations... So amazingly created by God.
Omg. He wasted his geniuses by learning how to make a perfect lie…

Our Hats off to this youngest gifted lawyer of the world! nakakaproud!
Just few minor observations in the news. (1) secondary education n NZ are not high school but are college. (2) there is no Valedictorian award in NZ system. (3) law degree is a 3-year program in Southern Queensland University.
