June Transitions

June 10, 2022

The Duterte Administration is bowing out in 3 weeks and the incoming tandem of Pres. Bongbong/Bonget Marcos and Vice Pres. Sara Carpio will take over. There will be many challenges to address as they hit the ground running. For one, national recovery from the ill effects of the devastating Covid 19 pandemic must be hastened. There appears to be a strong experienced team already tasked engaging the professional talents of technocrats with good track records under previous Administrations. The VUCAD global environment is also facing many challenges that impact on our domestic situation. Praying that this 2022 becomes a peaceful and pleasant return to normalcy and recovery.

Cremation of Doc Freddy

7 July 2020

Yesterday afternoon at 4 pm we brought the remains of Dikong Freddy to Loyola Crematorium Marikina for his cremation which lasted about an hour and a half. I said the prayers of commitment and benediction and we all blessed his remains with holy water from Lourdes before it was brought to the chamber. As the cremation was going on the siblings and families present prayed the novena for Dboy's eternal happy rest. Then we shared some merienda. After the urn was sealed it was brouht home by Evelyn, Grace and RJ to stay with them until inurnment on Papa's death anniversary on July 16. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. May his souls and all the souls of our faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

ADios Doc Freddy
