WORDS OF FAREWELL TO PHILIP ARGEL ALCAIN
EXPRESSION
OF FRIENDSHIP
TO
PHILIP ALCAIN
Felipe Argel Alcain
Born: Sept 13, 1941, Cabaroan West, Vigan, Ilocos Sur
Died: Nov 3, 2011, Pali Momi, Aiea, Hawaii
Age: 70
UFCH Progress Awardee in Community and Volunteer Service, 2010
A Biblical passage: And God Lord formed man of dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life, and a man became a living soul
[Genesis: 2:7]
And from that generation, and after generation to another, Felipe Argel Alcain, was born in Cabaroan West, Vigan, Ilocos Sur, on Sept 13, 1941, and lived with us in the community for many years, and his active and productive life.
Tonight, we are gathered here to share our sympathies and deep condolences to his passing.
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can possibly go through – and grieving is nothing but normal reaction to this.
It was October 31 when I was able to talk to him, asking me if I have enough volunteers for the feeding the homeless that afternoon. I told him, not to think about the feeding, we have enough like the Abinsay, Agas, Alimboyoguen, Jeremiah, Velasco, Sabangan, Ramirez and others.
I told him to take care of himself: Karuam ti agpalaing, Ka Philip.
For the whole project since the UFCH/OFCC and partner organizations started this about 3 years, he never missed any single last Monday of the month – in short, has a perfect attendance.
Rummuarakto no Sabado, kinunana. [I’ll be out from the hospital on Saturday – that was supposed to be November 5]
My role is to share you, some highlights of his personal and public life, partial as I known him. I believe, other speakers will say more about Manong Philip as they know him too.
I have known Manong Philip since the early 70’s since he, as I do, have gotten involved with the Filipino community in Hawaii.
PARTIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND MEMORABLE INCIDENTS
· June 2007 OFCC Convention – We both elected as Director, I got the highest vote and he got second a difference of 15 votes – One delegate has said: they got elected because they’re the trash collectors – Adopt a hwy project. So what? Trust because of our action, not in word
· July 2009 UFCH Molokai Convention same room with me and other delegate at the Molokai Hotel. We both delegate at the Kaunakakai Molokai convention 2009-same room with other delegate
· July 2010 UFCH Convention in Lahaina, Maui- same room with Ben Cabreros and myself.
· We both served as UFCH Board of Governors, his role is ‘second the motion’
· Never missed any single month in the feed the homeless
· He served as my alarm clock in every activity we chair and co-chair
· He remember things as I do, and
· He was my Senior coffee buddy at McDonald-Waipahu, he loved black coffee
· Securing the spot at the park, early in the morning
· Chicken, bangus, longanisa fundraising, other kinds of fundraising for the community
· You can rely on him
· Most of the time on convention time: OFCC or UFCH, served as a Marshall, Sergeant at arm or Parking lot attendant
He always willing, able and ready to give his time and contribute the best he can share. From picking up trash along the highway, the Kalihi street, in particular, to secure parking, to escort a princess or a runner-up, unload, unpack, and pack a cooked huli huli chicken during fundraising event, carry a cases of drinks, bottled water, to the table of board meetings, Philip is always someone you can depend on because he believes action is better than idea, to deliver result.
When UFCH looking for nominees for the 2010 Progress Award, this is how I put in his nomination papers for the Community and Volunteer Service Award:
· A role model to his family and two children, a loving a caring father and husband
· As a Volunteer, he is dependable, reliable and committed.
· Volunteerism as an act of giving time, talent and treasure, provide services without any expressed or implied promise of remuneration, but giving free time, at free will, for the benefit of others
· An achiever and a doer.
Philip is a people person – man of commitment with his spirit and action of Voluntarism. He has been and always shown his WAR attitude: Willingness, availability and readiness in serving into various responsible positions from Molokai Filipino Community Council, Oahu Filipino Community Council, Ilocos Surian Assn of Hawaii, Vigan Assn of Hawaii, Sons & Daughters of San Esteban, Fil-Am Sports, and many others.
His physical presence and his positive attitude and willingness to help is an outstanding contributions to the progress in accomplishing a certain goals and projects made him unique and outstanding citizen.
I was even criticized why I nominated him. But, I have a valid and legitimate reasons, with a strong and firm belief that he deserved such a recognition for his outstanding contributions.
But Everything has a season
Every thing there is a season, and time to every purpose, under the heaven. Eclessiastes 3:1-8]
Time to be born, time to plant, to harvest
To mourn, to laugh, to weep
And to celebrate
To die and to rest
Morir es descansar, Dr. Jose P. Rizal wrote in his Mi Ultimo Adios[Last Farewell]
For dust thou art,
and unto dust shall thou return
Genesis 3: 19
In your hand, O, Lord, we commend your servant Philip Alcain.
May he rest in peace
[I delivered at the Wake Service on December 5, 2011 at the Mililani Mauka Chapel, Mililani Mortuary. Other speakers: Emmie Anderson, Maria Lucy Pascual, Jun Abinsay, Eddie Agas, Sr., Cindy Aquino representing Rep Henry Aquino, Councilman Romy Cachola.]
