Cabletow 4th issue - GM Ebdane - Grand Lodge of the Philippines

The Cabletow
had an indomitable desire to excel in all his endeavors in the judiciary and especially
in the academe, which he loved with so much ardor that the joys of the world would
turn pale by comparison.
He persuaded me to teach the subject of remedial law in the college of law.
Thanks to Justice Galvez, I, also in the twilight of my years, now cherish the experience
with equal delight and satisfaction, knowing that the legacy of teaching is
immeasurable in the development of the youth, the future leaders of the nation.
Justice Galvez was one of the brightest sons of Iloilo, gifted with a
superabundance of intelligence. His intelligence was a kinship not only with the field
of law but also with the humanities, a discipline necessary to better insight into and
understanding of the tangled strands of human perplexities which affect sensitive
judgments. His well-written decisions on cases brought before him shall continue
to reverberate through the ages until the language dies.
I know he did not fear death. On the contrary, his faith in his Creator gave him a
touch of keen anticipation as he looked forward to that experience that shall surely
reward his hopes and excel his most glorious expectations. Although Justice Galvez
is no longer within our realm of sound and touch, his good deeds to humanity, his
thoughts and the pleasant memories of him shall continue to keep his family and
friends constant company. We will surely miss his fellowship. Although the sound of
his laughter is now muffled and subdued by the soft whispers of the pines, the
murmuring of the brooks and the singing of the birds, we are made confident by the
feeling of assurance that in God’s hands he has, at last, found eternal rest in peace.
RW Romeo A. YU, together with other brethren, gives last tribute to MW
Galvez’s memory. Relatives and friends look on.
