It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brod Wally Rodriguez. He was 75. Husband and Father. A Beta Sigma Brother.
We remember Brod ‘Wahlee’ as the go to Brod for creative advise, he was instrumental in bringing the Malmon mascot to life, which has marched in the Philippine Day parade along Madison Ave in NYC since 2009 when it first appeared.
The ‘Who Me Malmon Big Apple?’ mascot has also proven to be a major attraction during fraternity reunions and special occasions here.
Brod Wahlee has also imparted among us, important historical perspective about the fraternity: the symbols - the seal and pin; tradition - martial arts and activism; and personalities - them ‘bright boys’ during their heydays, or ‘those early years’ in Diliman.
We remember more and miss him dearly.
Paalam Brod Wahlee. Maraming Salamat at Hanggang sa Muli...
We pray
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
We pray in hope for our family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
