A Farewell to a Friend…

A fleeting look to the Graduation Program where list of graduates are printed, our attention was caught by a name of student with a word inside a bracket "deceased"…

I have attended the CICT Graduation Ceremony last April 08, though I was very excited seeing my friends marching and giving their obeisance above the stage, I cannot help but to feel a slash of remorse for a student who I may say, supposedly there as one of the graduates.

"Hindi niya alam na may sakit siya. Walang sintomas, bigla na lang nanghina at bumagsak ang katawan niya. May cancer siya sa liver.Birthday niya nga ‘nung February 15, pero February 16, inilibing na siya. Nag-OJT pa nga siya sa computer shop nila sa Maunlad. Since elementary, classmate ko na si Mark, mabait siya at madaming kaibigan at hindi mo siya makikitang nakasimangot." –Jedmerick Bernardo, Mark’s friend and classmate.

In behalf of the CICT Dean, Faculty, Students, Classmates and Friends, Cursor
Family would like to extend our deepest regret and sorrow for the demise of

MARK ANTHONY C. LUCAS
has been a Computer Technology student, BIT 2I…


You are gone…
But for us you never left…
God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our hearts…
