| The late Bernie Jambalos |
Family members and friends of Engr. Bernardo “Boy” N.
Jambalos III of Boac, Marinduque deeply mourn his passing away last Friday at the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City. Also known as “Bernie”
to many Marinduquenos, he was a top corporate executive and successful
businessman. He was one of the pillars of the Marinduque First Saturday Movers,
Inc., composed of prominent Marinduquenos in the Philippines who engage in
community projects for the uplift of our less fortunate Marinduque folks. We condole with the family of the late Engr.
Jambalos.
I remember walking on the beach in Amoingon one late
afternoon in 1998, and passed by a solitary man seating on that pebble beach, just gazing at the sunset. It was Engr. Jambalos, and it was on the day after he
lost the bid for the congressional seat. He had wished to serve his people in that capacity. Recognizing
each other, we had a quiet chat focusing on the untoward events that occurred a few days
before, related to the conduct of the elections, and the man remained stoic, expressing his profound sadness...

“Morn after morn dispels the dark,
Bearing our lives away;
Absorbed in cares we fail to mark
How swift our years decay;
Some maddening draught hath drugged our souls,
In love with vital breath,
Which still the same sad chart unrolls,
Birth, eld, disease, and death.”
