The nation joins the Armed Forces and the University of the Philippines (UP) community in mourning the passing of Engr. Fernando Perez Javier. At 107 years old, Engr. Javier was the Philippines’ oldest World War II veteran and UP’s oldest alumnus, the Centennial Man during the university’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2008.
We remember Engr. Perez’s service during the war, and the valor and dedication with which he carried out his duty. The nation owes much to the service of patriots like him. May his life of service inspire today’s generation to serve their country with his loyalty, dignity, and steadfastness. In this time of grief, we extend our deepest condolences to his family
