30 October 2008. Jade and Joyce Valerio would have enjoyed their vacation in their home in Mindoro. But they didn’t make it. After fetching them from the pier at midnight, their car collided with a truck and took away both of them quickly. Jade has just passed the Chem Board Exam this year; while Joyce is a freshman at UP Diliman.
Their friends and classmates requested a mass at the Pilar Herera Hall, Chem Building. Their friends brought candles and flowers. The flowers will be placed where they remember her the most (anywhere in the university) and the candles will be used on All Souls and All Saints Day.
Similar masses where held at the Education Building Theater for former faculty, Emeteria P. Lee on the 10th of October 2008 at the Benitez Hall. Dr. Emeteria P. Lee earned her B.S. in Education, cum laude (major in English, minor in Pilipino) from the University of the Philippines, her Master in Education (major in reading) from the University of Hawaii as an East-West Scholar and her Ph.D.in Education (major in educational psychology) as a Rockefeller Foundation Scholar.
