To the Moderator
Ma’am/ Sir
I am Michael “micoy” Calica – Agustin, grandson of the late Dr. Pery Calica. I may not have lived and witnessed the works of my Grandfather since I was born and raised here in the Philippines, but I guess I could literaly claim that im one of the 3rd Generation CALICA that had been inclined with the political and civic advocacy of “Lakay Tino”.
I am a native of Baguio City and we share the same “Dr.” prefix BUT I ventured my doctorate - - in Medicine at University of Santo Tomas. Like my grandfather I had been an active Editor and Writer of various school publications. As a student leader years back, I worked on school legislation and I hold my own University Political Party and Civic Organization.
I was only in grade-school when he passed away, I never got the chance to talk to him nor see his publications and works. It would be a pleasure if you could send me one, or at the least, stories about his political and social perspectives. I want to know more about my lolo and take part of his legacy.
As we celebrate his death anniversary this year, I’m extending my deepest gratitude on all the people who have worked with him and all the people continually remembering him.
sincerely,
Dr. Micoy Agustin
