A Tribute To You Ma'am Donnabel

I learned this morning the bad news regarding the demise of my friend Donna after conceiving a baby girl. But as they say, "death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor as well as the towers of kings." She was a teacher by profession in Bulan North Central School-A.

Our friendship started fifteen years ago when she encouraged and helped me became a barangay official. A born leader, she was my most hard-working Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) official. Many of my important projects like the basketball court and the street lighting of our barangay's main street were her ideas conceived in front of a halo-halo meeting in Tia Ning's Restaurant.

We will miss your contagious smiles and laughters.

I will miss you my friend.
