Members of the Bacolod and Negros Occidental media mourn the loss of two colleagues, Jerome Segovia Galunan and Rushmore Ubas, who passed away Sept. 15.
Galunan, 41, who was ill since last week died this morning in his home at Easthomes 2 Subdivision in Fortunetown, Bacolod City, while Ubas died in the hospital.
He was the president of the Sports Communicators Organization of the Philippines – Negros Occ. Chapter, and sportswriter of Sun.Star Bacolod. He was also a faculty member of Sum-ag National High School.
“Colleagues remember him (Galunan) as someone who is hard working and dedicated to his professions, both in the education sector and the community media, and for being a faithful and loyal family man,” Negros Press Club president Yves Montecillo said in a statement.
The 54-year-old Ubas, meanwhile, was a veteran radio broadcaster, who carved his name in the radio broadcast industry as an anchorman of Bombo Radyo Bacolod and later, of Radyo Bandera Sweet FM Bacolod. Montecillo said Ubas “was known for his straightforward reporting, and insightful and dynamic commentaries.” — NND
