Bukidnon State University Administration, Malaybalay, Bukidnon,thanks for seeing to it we received the beneits.

Bukidnon State University faculty and non-teaching personnel, Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines, received their benefits. To the University President, Dr. Victor M. Barroso and the Board of Regents, thanks for making our Christmas and New Year celebrations merrier and better.

At the back of our minds are others who have lost everything during the fire; or are now anxiously waiting for the eruption of Mt. Volcano they rely on the local government and other generous people to provide their daily needs; or are still grieving because their loved ones have been massacred or are taken by force by kidnappers; or are lonely because they are separated from their loved ones.

Now that we have only two days before Christmas, we pray that we are given the opportunity to stay close with our family - if not physically at least, spiritually. Chev, I miss you! Ayeng, Ben and Bon, thanks for coming home.
