Because I cannot sleep yet, I made this simple slideshow of some of our memories of our parents. I also tried to record myself singing the song.

In memory of my parents, who both passed away this year. Dad (April 2) and Mom (Sept 14). While their departure from this world remains to be a hurtful experience, our faith makes us hope that they will be together in the afterlife because of the love they have shown to each other, to us our children and to the people around them.

The Song is titled "Paglisan" originally performed by Color It Red.

Custom designed wings in honor of GOIEX (1956-2023)

Goiex was my father's nickname in his band when we was in the United States. Born Meinardo Balazuela, he was also an aviation enthusiast like me.

Fly high, Dad. See you up there when the time comes.

This is VATPHIL

Due to the extreme weather brought upon the Philippines by tropical storm Paeng (Nalgae), we have decided to postpone tonight's event, Mactan to Hong Kong citylink to a later date which will be announced at a later date. The storm has brought upon several electrical and connectivity interruptions to our controllers and pilots alike, and as such may compromise the quality of the event altogether.

Our team here at VATPHIL prioritizes the safety of everyone before anything else, and with this decision we are one with our team of controllers and pilots. We wish everyone well and in true Filipino spirit, we will get through this together, and march onto clearer skies.

Good evening, and may God bless us all.
