It Hurts To Say Goodbye...


Cheers to Dean Bello's continuous success!
     Last April 27, 2010, BA Faculty members in coordination with the BA Faculty Club gave a send off party in honor of Dean Estelita D. Bello, the dean of the College of Business Administration for four years. The BA Faculty Room served as the venue for such occasion.

     A party is supposed to be a happy get together of friends and people, but this send off party is one of a kind. The ambience is lonesome. No jolly faces from attendees, but only sadness and tears. They had hankies and tissues on their hands, wiping off their watery eyes. Everyone  who worked closely with Dean Bello during her stay with the University of the East was given the chance to say something and share his/her experiences.  Associate Dean Arce, CS Simbillo, DCs Pasilan, Lacerona, Aquino, and myself spoke our hearts out. We recalled  many instances when Dean Bello became an instrument in changing ourselves for the better. She really touched the lives of many people in the university, particularly the faculty members and students.
     During her talk, Dean Bello addressed the faculty on a light note. As usual, she gave her powerful words of encouragement and motivation. She expressed her thanks to everyone for supporting her during her term.  Dean asked everybody present to continue on enhancing oneself to become a better faculty, with the goals of producing excellent students and an outstanding university.

     The event culminated into a sumptuous lunch courtesy of the BAFC, Department Chairs, Associate Dean, CS, and other generous food donors. In occasions like this, the unity of the BA faculty and staff is beyond doubt, but I wish this is a celebration of renewal of contract rather than a send off party for a truly commendable, hardworking dean.

     Saying goodbye always bring sadness in our hearts, but this is the reality of life. We have to end somewhere and start a new beginning because the Lord has a grand plan for everyone.

I had the chance to work with Dean Bello for a short one year. I admire her for her hardwork, idealisms and the one I wouldn't forget - her modern insights and vision for the college. I was thrilled with the fact that Dean Bello was really updated with the modernity of the financial world, well, this is not so typical to everyone who has been in the same field for long.

To the dean I look up to, I wish you all the best and I hope our paths will cross again....
