"With a Heavy Heart…
It is with a very heavy heart that I share this devastating news about Wally. On July 12th (our 44th wedding anniversary), Wally suffered a sudden and severe drop in blood sugar while at the car wash. He collapsed, sustaining a skull fracture, a brain laceration, a massive right-sided brain bleed, and significant brain swelling. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent an emergency craniectomy to relieve the pressure. While the surgery itself went smoothly, doctors have confirmed that he has sustained extensive and irreversible brain damage. Wally is currently in the Trauma ICU. He is minimally responsive and is being kept as comfortable as possible with medications to manage pain, support his blood pressure, and reduce brain swelling.

"At this time, we ask for your thoughts and prayers. Please lift Wally up—pray for peace, comfort, and strength for him and for all of us who love him deeply. Your support means everything to us in this incredibly difficult time.

"Thank you for being with us in spirit.
Corinne Kison"

Bigyan natin ng buhay ang mga ilang bakas ni “Bakal” sa campus. Alam nyo ba na new freshman pa lang si Waldo ay mamâ na sya? Weightlifter’s body at malakas ang arrive. Yung kanyang smile hindi tawa kundi ngisi na nagsasaad ng…”talaga huh?” Kaya nung nag dorm sya sa kuta ng mga Tigs, sya lang ang pogi! Di ko alam na ganoong kataas ang respeto sa kanya ng marami. Aba eh, ala eh from Lipa at good looking Atenista yata ang connect. Matagal sya doon sa men’s dorm na walang tumalo. Yung mga Pepsi di alam kung aawayin sya o liligawan. Masarap ka spar sa kantyawan kasi Manila boy to ets. Yung parody namin ni Wally sa “The Da Vinci Code” ay Tambayan style na walang direction pero very common ang mga sumasabat. Pag minsan nagpapanagpo ang lungkot at saya.

Vee de Vera

=========================

Yung ROTC natin, MP si Waldo. Sa UPLB ROTC rock Baes Band tayo nina Brod Leo Balagot (trombone), cymbals ka, and Tony V (bass tuba)...laging kinakalabit ni Wally si Ambrosio 'bubu' Alfiler (LGBTQ) gamit ang batuta....Ng MP....kulay puti....it was hilarious.....nakatingin lang si Mang Gerry.

During the mid ‘70s Waldo was one of the “permanent fixtures” sa Coop tambayan. Always present.

=========================

I’m deeply saddened to hear that my Cobatch, Brod Wally Kison ‘74C, has passed away.
I had planned to see him… but now it’s too late.
I will always remember our days together in UPLB — memories filled with brotherhood, laughter, and shared purpose.

Rest in peace, Brother.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Brods, the Last Rites for Brod Bong Lorenzo will be held on Tuesday (July 22). Brod Ariel Misador is asking for eulogies from his batchmates and those who were close to Brod Bong, to be read or shown (if video) during the Last Rites. These can be sent to me or to Brod Ariel Misador (Messenger and Viber).

Nicolas

=========================

I was very fortunate to have Brod Bong Lorenzo as my classmate during our freshman year at UPLB.

Brod Bong was never one to seek the spotlight, yet you couldn’t help but notice him—especially when he asked questions. His curiosity was striking, a clear sign of his hunger for knowledge. But more than just being eager to learn, he was already a well of wisdom, and he generously shared what he knew.

I was overjoyed to learn that he joined Beta Sigma, and even prouder to call him my brother after I had taken the same path.

It feels like only yesterday that we were sharing laughter, stories, and dreams at UPLB. Those memories will always stay with me—I will continue to return to them, again and again, to relive the moments we shared.

Requiescat in pace, frater.
(May you rest in peace, brother.)

Danny Syto, ‘74c

=========================

Today, as we say goodbye to Brod Bong, let us remember to live life to the fullest, to find joy in the simplest of moments, and to embrace those around us with love & acceptance.

Brod Bong was my UP Beta Sigma Batchmate (Bagyo 74-E) and Dormmate at Cendañas during our college days at UPLB. He was a great friend and the best Fraternity Brother anyone could have. My memories of Brod Bong are happy ones because Brod Bong was ALWAYS Fun to be with, funny with a genuine infectitious laughter making everyone around him feel at ease.

Someday I know I will be able to smile & laugh when I think about all the good times, the same way that Brod Bong and I would laugh. Rest peacefully now in the loving arms of our Lord & till we meet again on the other side.

Tito Estrada

=========================

Brod Bong Lorenzo, Clean Fun No Malice:
With brod Bong there was never a dull moment. We were seriously not serious students but still meet our academic requirements. It was a 6 year of fun , laughter and white castle whisky. One time after a late night, he woke me both of us groggy as were already late on our Entom 170 field trip under prof Augusto Sumalde. We catch the class trip in the nick of time. Twas a jet lag minus the plane. In our coop time we always make fun of people passing.. kamukha mo yan pag matanda ka na. Hes the one who coined the Tony Falcon alias of endearment for brod Rotsen Lawas, "braduy" for ex brod Louie Gendrano, "Roderick Paulate" for brod Tito Estrada , "bangking" for the gf of brod Totoy Alfonso, jai a lai the favorite past time of brods Danny Abad and brod Jun Cornejo.

Bong and I have many mischiefs. One during December monito monita time if we happen to pass by Xmas trees with choco bars hanging we pull them and chomp away laughing. Other stories are for intermal affairs. If you will be stranded in an island or spent a life imprisonment brod Bong is a best company. Bye brod Bong, spread fun in the heavens.

Alfeo Piedad

=========================

Brod Bong is a ladies man in his heyday, and very candid later.
Isipin natin, sa edad nating ito, in love ang babae sa atin dahil sa bulsa, wala ng iba.

Ariel Mirador

=========================

Ha ha haaaa that's true .. people passing are our source of jokes and fun. If a pilay pass by .. he counts 5'3 , 5'2. 5'3 , 5'2. Hi hiiii. And as if we are perfect humans, we associate their faces with movie stars. Thats where my joke Bong Lorenzo as Romy Diaz started. Romy Diaz sticked. First it was Vic Diaz of ang tuko sa madre kakaw, then Paquito kits Diaz the tormentor of FPJ.

Bong likes to make fun of "others" and pranks on brods. One night as there was a simmering feud with tigslabay we saw from a distance brod Louie Corral walking alone towards home. We run as fast as we can and shouting " Beta Sigma, Beta Sigma !! " as if attacking him. Brod Louie ran faster and we cant stop laughing as he saw our faces from the dim lamp post. He can only say " putsa brods naman O!!"
