In All Soul's Day (November 2), while I was visiting the La Carlota Memorial Park in the morning to take picture of the tombstone location of Shellen Rosario's father, Hernani Rosario, I dropped by the Catholic Cemetery and came across with the tomb of the late Nenito Reyes Tinagan (1947 - 2006).
I was well acquainted with Mr. Tinagan in my first year of teaching where I was assigned in Cainaman Elementary School. I used to visit his office every time, I went to the division office for official business and for a conference called for.
Anyway, upon reading the inscription of his epitaph that says "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7), I was challenged on what to write about him for we're good friends since I joined in the teaching profession sometime in June 1991.
Whatever matters the following is my personal recollection of his prolific life in the field of education. In short, this is indeed an eulogy about him.
