An amazing if not awesome Lady.  Mina you are God's precious gift to me.  Your loving friendship, kindness, such generosity of spirit and your infectious patience mirrored God's love to me and others.  These are the values you've taught me to embrace and I shall hold on to each one of them.  These are the values you've modeled all throughout your life.  The world was too small for you  Mina to let your beautiful light shine through...  And you may disagree but that's truly who you are!  I have said this all before of how most unique YOU truly are and so to lose you so soon breaks my heart into pieces.  I shall forever cherish our great times together especially our silly and rare "kikay" days, those amazing yet seemingly unending moments of laughter and tears which we shared back in college or at your home in Pasig, and all those years that followed thereafter.  How time flies indeed.  You've been a great inspiration to me more than you'll ever know. You're more than a best friend. You were my soul mate, my confidante!!!.  Thank you my dear for adding colour to my life.  Be it as it may we shall meet again.  Mina allow me to say, you were my gentle, sweet and most caring Sister!  I shall miss you more than ever, I feel a deep void now that you're gone. But you are with our Lord Jesus and that is what enables me to smile and it brings some comfort to my soul.  I may not have been there in the last years when you moved to Toronto and I am sorry.  Nonetheless, to have found you briefly, know that I carry you in my heart now and forever. I love you Mina for always. Cess

I will always remember our trips to the CNE; it will not be the same without you. thank you for your friendship and compassion. mom and I look forward to seeing you again one day.

Mina, I remember most for her innate kindness, cheerful disposition and professionalism as a colleague in TODAY newspaper of Makati City. Above all, I treasure her legacy to me: she introduced me to St. Teresa of Avila, via THE Bookmark: "Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things are passing; God never changes. Patience attains all things. Who has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices." Mina had it all, right from the start. - Chuchay Fernandez, Manila

I will always remember the many kindnesses and special gifts of Mina—a longtime friend whom I have loved like a sister—with fondness and admiration.

Mina, will miss you! I am proud to be your Ate. Love you and pray for us too. Maybe you can give us some pogi points to Our Lord because He listen to you.

It was such a privilege to have known Maria... She was such a sweet and gentle soul.  I always looked forward to seeing her.  She will now be greatly missed, but her smile will forever be in my memory.
May she now rest in peace with the Lord, whom she served so dilligently.

Eternal rest grant unto you, Maria and may perpetual light shine upon you.
Rest in peace. You were such a gentle soul with a kind loving heart.

It is not often that you meet as genuine and selfless a person as Maria...she was a gentle soul who's loving spirit touched many….always putting others before herself. You will always live on in my memory. I am honoured to have known you. May God welcome you home with open arms.

Dear Mina -- I remember you from our CRC/UA&P days and you were always so consistently sweet and warm and friendly. You are a blessing to those around you. May you enjoy God's love now and forever.

Rest well, sweet Mina. Thank you for your friendship and advice. Though the miles kept us apart, you are always in my thoughts.

Thank you for your friendship and the laughter. Your presence will always be missed especially during our guitar session. Rest in peace.

You were my very first friend when we moved to Navy Village in Fort Bonifacio. I remember you sharing chocolates (3 Musketeers!!) and inviting me to bike rides around the village after school. We were both only 12 yo. And you reached out, made me feel special. You helped make my transition to a new home so much easier. Until we see each other again, my dear Mina...watch over all of us here left behind, that we be more sensitive to the Lord's murmurings and His gentle nudges, that we look out and take better care of each other, this side of heaven.

Thank you Mina for being a friend one could only wish for  and for being part of one of the best years in my life and King"s.  We will miss you......

Mina, may you rest in peace. Your memory lives on in my heart. You were the one who led me to know more about  Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. I offer my prayers for your eternal repose.

Rest in peace, Mina. Thank you for all your love and kindness.

I will miss Mina very much. She was a very special person and so close to God. I am happy she is now with her God.

Gone too soon but forever in our hearts.
Eternal rest grant unto Mina, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the soul of Mina and of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Rest In Peace My Dearest Sweet Cousin Mina. Say Hello to Tito Pete, Tita Milagring & Raffy for me. And also to Daddy & Mama. I Love & Miss you. God Bless ??

Dearest cousin, we shared a happy childhood running and playing in the sun like there was no tomorrow.  These things will always remind me of you…chocolate cake, pine trees, haute couture sketches, the hula, the swing, make-up, books and more books, late nights, gentle smiles, laughter,  song and even pain.  Now you've gone ahead and made it home, how we will all miss you! Till we meet again, Mina…you will always be remembered with love.

Farewell Mina. You are now in the divine care of our Creator. Eternal light shine upon you as you journey to our Lord's heavenly abode where you will find comfort with Uncle Pete, Auntie Mila and Raffy. Rest in peace my dear cousin.

Mina, 
You are beautiful inside out and you know that well.

Always cherish with love and gratitude...

Mina is a kindhearted and a person with a soft-spoken voice, her gentleness was like being held by our nurturing and comforting God.  She showed me the gift of compassion and tenderness for others...  Grateful with all my hearts, Sr. Lorie, OLM
