LVAA Faculty and Staff Extend Sympathy and Support to Janog-Buhia Family
The faculty and staff of Lake View Adventist Academy (LVAA) traveled to Iligan City on August 24, 2026, to extend their sympathy and support to the Janog-Buhia family following the passing of Charlita Rosco Janog-Buhia, beloved mother of LVAA Principal Dr. Emerson Geneses J. Buhia.
During their visit, the LVAA faculty and staff rendered the last night of service to the bereaved family, offering messages of comfort through songs, prayers, and words from the Bible. Their presence was an expression of love, solidarity, and support during a difficult time of loss.
The final church service was held at the Iligan City Seventh-day Adventist Central Church on August 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM, followed by the interment service at Pryce Gardens, Sta. Felomina, Iligan City. Both services were led by Pastor Krisanto Rizada, Jr.
The Education Department of the Southwestern Philippine Union Conference (SWPUC), led by Education Director Dr. Alevir Pido and Associate Director Dr. Romy Lamputi, was also present to extend support to the bereaved family. Representatives from other Adventist educational institutions, including North Central Mindanao Conference (NCMC), Adventist Medical Center College (AMCC), and Mindanao Mission Academy (MMA), likewise joined in expressing their sympathy and support.
LVAA extends its heartfelt gratitude to AMCC, headed by Dr. Jimmy V. Adil, Jr., for generously providing accommodation and meals for the LVAA faculty and staff during their stay in Iligan. Appreciation is also extended to MMA, headed by Pastor Clifford Abejo, for the dinner shared with the group upon their return.
As the Janog-Buhia family continues to grieve, the LVAA community joins them in prayer and holds firmly to the promises of God. Though we mourn the separation caused by death, we cling to the blessed hope of the resurrection morning, when those who sleep in Christ will rise again.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:16
May God continue to comfort, strengthen, and sustain the Janog-Buhia family during this time of loss.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers. 🙏
