I was googling "sorsogon seminary" when i came across this news item which surprised me a bit.
Apparently, on March 19, 2006 an unidentified gunman shot and killed Cris Hugo, a 20-year old student leader at the Bicol University and a native of Irosin, Sorsogon.
The news article says that he spent about two years at OLPS Minor but then went out at the behest of his "father who didnt want him to be a priest."
I don't know this guy but from on his age he probably would have been a member of Batch 2002 and probably was in the seminary around 1998-2000
Anyway farewell Sano Cris. Your courage is admirable and you will be remembered.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
Seminarian
Cris came from a devout family. His parents were lectors, or scripture readers in their church. He also acted in theatre productions of their parish church.
“Ang gusto ‘nya talaga ay maging pari (He really wanted to be a priest),” her mother said. She revealed that he spent two years in high school at the Peñafrancia Seminary in Sorsogon City. He went out of the seminary on his third year because his father didn’t want him to become a priest.
“Para lang kaming magbabarkada niyan. (We’re just like friends),” his mother said as she stared at her son’s casket. “I even join his company of friends every time they are here. We would go out to a videoke bar and sing and have fun.”
“Napakabait ng anak ko. Hindi ko matanggap na agad siyang mawawala. Kahit sa mga kapatid niya, ang bait niya. Minsan pag-umuuwi iyan, may dala siyang pasalubong. Kahit ano, tulad ng scented candles. Napaka-thoughtful niya. (My son was very kind. I cannot accept that he would suddenly be gone. Even with his siblings, he was so kind. He even brought gifts for the family when he came home, even simple things like scented candles. He was very thoughtful),” she added....
