My dear friend, I still can’t believe you left abruptly. I was thrilled and felt so privileged you could do my last project, which will now be launched in your memory. I miss you so much and I love you my dear Alwyn. Our UP College of Music barkada is proud of you, of how much impact your work in music has made. You always knew the right thing to say, and how to move things forward. Thank you for giving me and Ed our most beloved pet, Timmy. It’s so hard to say goodbye to you. Until we meet again.

I was looking at the group photo of our last group chat and I felt so much happiness and sadness at the same time. Happy that I will always remember you and that bright smile of yours, and sad that I won’t be able to to talk to you and hear your voice again. But I know that you are in a much happier place and that you are undoubtedly making music there. I am so happy your memory and legacy will live on. Rest well, dear friend. We’ll see you in the morning. <3
