Remembering the Life of our Dear Arkischolar

Today, the ๐—จ๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ฆ๐—” ๐—จ๐—ฃ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ป community gathers to pay our final respects and honor the legacy of one of our own, Silvestre Noval III.

To many of us, he was simply ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฒโ€”a brilliant creative of Batch 2022 who extended his craft far beyond the university walls. As an Iskolar ng Bayan, he championed creative excellence and became a true inspiration to both his peers and juniors.

Beyond his talent, Thirdy was a cornerstone of our chapter, serving with dedication as:
โ€ข Commissioner on Sponsorships (2023-2024)
โ€ข First Year Representative (2022-2023)

He was a really good friend and a selfless contributor who actively helped the organization and the Arki community in every way he could. His kindness, passion, perseverance, and strength will always live on in the hearts of the people he inspired.

The UPMin BS Architecture Community and UAPSA UPMin extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and friends.
