On The Recent Suicide of A Person Who Should Be Remembered

Fr. David is my Ph104 professor. He is supposedly one of Ateneo's "legends."

Mr. Lorenz Tan was his teaching assistant.

We took Mr. Tan for granted.

We called him odd.

We didn't take him seriously.

He killed himself today.

He had problems.

We didn't realize.

After all, he too was a victim of a disciplinary society.

Ateneo's disciplinary society.

Our disciplinary society.

We should learn then.

Goodbye Mr. Tan, and thank you...

We pray.
