Sis Mila's Sister, Ely Passed Away, 17 May 2008:
WBro Rudy Romerosa relayed the sad news of the passing of Sis Mila's sister, Ely:
"Mila's sister, Ely passed away last Thursday, 15 May 2008 in a hospital in Baguio City. Mila flew to the Philippines yesterday morning, Saturday, 17 May 2008. Took a long trip to Candon City, Ilocos Sur, only to be caught by the big typhoon that is battering Ilocos region at the moment and was stranded somewhere in La Union as the road going to Ilocos Sur was blocked by falling trees and landslides. She finally reached her destination after a long and tiring journey and horrible experience this afternoon, Sunday, 18 May 2008."
Our deepest condolences to Sis Mila and her family. Our prayers are with them in this sad moment.
FilMasons NSW, Inc.
