Rev. Francisco Bilog ISA KANG BUHAY NA ALAALA
Ako ay nabigla sa isang malungkot na balita,
Na ikaw pastor Frank ay pumanaw na,
Di ko mapigil ang pagpatak ng aking luha,
Dahil isa sa itinuturing naming ama ng EMPAC ay namaalam na.
Labis kong pinasasalamatan sa Diyos ang iyong katapatan,
Isa ka sa mga itinuturing na haligi ng UMC na aming pinagpipitagan,
Sa angkin mong talento, kahusayan at katapatan,
Maraming humanga, pinagpala at nabiyayaan.
Ang kumperensya ay animoy kulang kung wala ka,
Dahil kapag ikaw ay nangusap kalimitan problema ay solve na,
Book of descipline ay halos memoryado mo na,
Sagot sa mahihirap na tanong ay nasasagot mo ng tama.
Pasensya ka na kung minsan magkaiba ating prinsepyo at paninindigan,
Ngunit paghanga ko sa iyo ay di kailan man nabawasan,
Kinikilala ka naming mentor at nakatulong sa maraming mga kapastoran,
Para sa amin isa kang buhay na alalaalang di namin malilimutan.
Salamat pastor sa napakalaking ambag mo sa simbahan,
Ikaw ay magandang halimbawa sa mga taong iyong pinaglingkuran,
Pagmamahal mo sa Diyos at simbahan ay iyong inalay,
Hanggang sa huling sandali ng iyong buhay.
Aking ipinaabot taos puso kong pakikiramay,
Sa love na love mong si ate Del at sa buong pamilyang nalulumbay,
Alam kong labis ang lungkot kapag minamahal ay mawalay,
Ngunit alam kong kaaliwan at pagmamahal ng Diyos ang sa kanilay laging magpapatibay.
Paalam pastor Frank Bilog na aming minamahal,
Batid kong ngayon ay patuloy kang inaaruga ng ating Maykapal,
Minamahal mong pamilya kasama sa aming dasal,
Patuloy silang sasamahan at gagabayan ng Diyos na banal.... Collapse

WHEN I AM GONE

_{When I leave, I don’t want you to be too sad. Stay silent, save the words, and remember the happy moments that warm the soul. When I fall asleep, let me rest. I’m gone for a reason. If you miss me, don’t say anything. In silence, look for my presence in my house, my books, my letters, and my photos, as well as in those papers that I wrote in a hurry.}

_{Wear my shirts, my sweater, and my jacket. Walk in my shoes. My room is yours, as are my pillow and my bed. If it’s cold, wrap yourself in my scarves. Enjoy the chocolate and wine I left. Listen to that song I loved so much, use my perfume, and take care of my plants.}

_{If they bury my body, don’t be afraid. Run free and let your tears flow. Let the wind caress your face. Feel the poetry, music, and singing. Kiss the earth, drink the water, and learn the language of the birds. If you miss me deeply, try to hide it and look for me in the children, the coffee, the radio, and those places where I used to hide. Never say the word ‘death.’ Sometimes being forgotten is sadder than dying many times and still being remembered.}

_{When I fall asleep, bring flowers to my grave and shout with all your might that life goes on. The flame of life does not go out just because I am not there. Those who “live” never die completely; they only fall asleep momentarily. Eternal sleep is just an excuse.}

_{When I leave, extend your hand, and you will feel my touch. You will know that I will always be by your side. And one day, with a smile, you will feel that I have returned to stay with you forever.}
