Saying goodbye to Liwanag Ongchangco Caldito

Liwanag Ongchangco Caldito passed away this week,
She died of complications following infection from surgery, wherein she was implanted with metal.


She worked with special children, especially with deaf children and she can sign fabulously.
I had hope that she would have time to work with my friend, Amihan Abueva - who works with abused children.

But the times were never right, and they never got to meet.

Fragments of Memories

Liw was a very responsible person.
I used to think she was very serious.  She taught Sunday school in Baguio when we were there for one long summer for my Dad's recuperation and relaxation (he had bad burns).  I thought then that she ruined my summer Sundays - but of course not.  Actually I only remember one particular session.  I do not like recitations and I have never volunteered to recite or present homework (unless forced -  as my math college classmates would force me)

It is a tad difficult when the teacher is a relative - who expects you to recite.
