A memorial service for former UP Diliman (UPD) College of Social Work and Community Development (CSWCD) dean Evelina Asuncion Pangalangan gathered former students, colleagues at the CSWCD, colleagues from National Association for Social Work Education, Inc. Philippines (NASWEI), and members of her family at the college\u2019s Bulwagang Tandang Sora recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSWCD Dean Lenore Polotan-dela Cruz said Pangalangan was a major driving force in the CSWCD\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n

Known as Dean EAP, she led the fundraising for the construction of the CSWCD building. She was also instrumental in the creation of the Master of Social Work program in distance mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer vision for the college extended physical buildings and facilities. Her academic leadership also focused on people and programs while prioritizing the human aspects of education. She was a woman ahead of her time. A true pioneer foreseeing the potential of distance education, she spearheaded the creation of the Master of Social Work in distance mode which was the first of its kind during that time,\u201d Polotan-dela Cruz said. \u201cUnder her guidance, the CSWCD strengthened its role in social development education, becoming a member of the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific network of centers of academic excellence. She fostered crucial national, regional, and international ties, fostering collaboration across the Asia Pacific region.\u2026 Her legacy lives in the students she empowered, the programs she established, and the college she helped build,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Teresita Marie Bagasao, a lecturer at the CSWCD and former country director of the Joint UN Program on HIV\/AIDS spoke about Pangalangan\u2019s influence on her journey as a social worker.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cShe mentored me as I joined a non-government organization, then joined the UN and then went back to being retired,\u201d Bagasao said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shared Pangalangan was the one who convinced her to teach at the college and on how even after retirement, Pangalangan still taught at a college in New York in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSabi niya, \u2018Sayang naman iyong pinagdaanan mo,\u2019\u201d Bagasao said. \u201cIyong kaniyang pagiging consummate educator hindi natapos noong nag-retire siya dito sa UP. Kahit nandoon na siya sa New York, alam ko nagturo siya sa college, full-time, walang retirement\u2026.For me, she was not the feather on my cap; she was my cap because she was the caring, affirming presence in my life,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two members of Pangalangan\u2019s family who attended the memorial were her son Jose Roberto \u201cBobby\u201d Pangalangan and granddaughter Gaby.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cSuperwoman namin siya sa pamilya. Binalanse niya kaming lahat, walo kami. Hindi niya kami pinabayaan. Lagi siyang naandoon. We were not the perfect, good children, but she would always balance everything with us and always tell us \u2018Kaya mo \u2019yan. I\u2019m here, kaya mo \u2019yan. Never siyang nawawalan ng faith sa Diyos at sa tao. Laging lahat ay mahal niya,\u201d Bobby Pangalangan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other testimonials included a video message from Kalachuchi Flores-Caballes, NASWEI president. Pangalangan served as NASWEI president from 1998 to 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memorial included an offering of flowers and a rite of blessing conducted by Most Rev. Leocito Gabo.<\/p>\n\n\n
