Wulfilda will always have a special place in the hearts of my family and me.

She led the ten day prayers for my mother, Epifania Garcia Mejares when she  passed from us on January 4, 2007. With the help of other Bicol Club members a time of grieving quickly passed to a time of joy as we all knew my mother was in a better place never to suffer the ravages of breast cancer again.

Next she led the ten day prayers for my father, Froilan Pacardo Mejares when he passed from us on November 19, 2011. Similarly, Bicol Club members again helped to bring joy to our lives as we all knew my father would never have to suffer the pains associated with kidney and heart organ failure.

Lastly, she was instrumental in getting me involved in issuing a scholarship in my parent's name to the benefit of an aspiring Bicol youth. On a yearly basis I will continue to issue this scholarship, God willing.

She was an extremely religious person as I would see her at the Padre Pio devotions at our Lady of Rosary Church in Little Italy, downtown San Diego. Without fail, she was there on the first Monday of each month usually with friends.

Wulfilda, may your soul rest in peace,

Jose Mejares & Family






Sweet Auntie Filda was a bright light of energy! I grew up in the Bicol Club as a little kid, but it wasn’t until I became a teenager that I became more involved. She was such a force and inspiration to the youth and a huge reason why I got involved in the BYG. Some of my best memories and life long friendships were from the time that I was a part of the BYG and helped with the culture night show. I couldn’t be more grateful to her for always looking out and being such a positive role model for the youth and helping encourage community. Love you forever, Auntie Filda. 

The Bicolano and Nabueno communities of San Diego will never be the same without Tita Filda. I always admired her deep involvement within the filipino community.  She will be missed.

Rest in Peace Tita Filda


To filda’s Family:
I’m grateful for the several years I served with Filda in the MissionSD Church.
The 1st time I met her, we seemed we already knew each other for a long time. I guess you may say: “ teachers think alike!” She in HS, & me in Elem grades.
I relied on her to sub for me at my 12 noon Mass readings, many times when my allergies just got unbearable.  11 am ang Mass niya, me 12 noon, so she did enjoy two Masses in a row! She got all those extra Graces ahead of time!

Filda, Rest In Peace my friend!
I was so shocked to find out,  You went to the Lord so soon! Oh my friend, we pray that you are enjoying the company of the Saints, our Blessed Mother & Jesus now.
Pls intercede for us as well! 

Love & Prayers,
Emily & Dcn Jim Aquino & family



“Ate Filda” – “Manay Filda” is synonymous and always deserved respect when she spoke. She is meticulous and disciplined in all the things she puts her mind into. A devoted catholic with an unsurpassed work ethic. I came to know Ate Filda back in the ‘80s through my brother Jose Almasco, her colleague when they attended the Monbusho / JICA Master’s Degree Scholarship in Japan in the late 70’s. They met as being “kababayan” from the Philippines – and soon realized they are more than that, but of a close relative coming from the same region in Bicol and somehow in the same city in Nabua. Ate Filda is full of energy and always looks for ways to impart her wisdom. She is very persuasive and engaging especially if you seek help about education. She is an inspiration to many having achieved excellence in all of her accomplishments. A vocal advocate of fairness and equality. A great loss to everyone that had the honor to be touched by her presence and most especially to her family.

She will be terribly missed.

Our deepest Sympathies.
