This Employee Appreciation Day, as we celebrate you, our cherished Eternalites, we gather not just in gratitude, but in awe of the journey we’ve walked together as we step into our 50th, our golden year.

This milestone wasn’t built in a day, nor by chance — it was carved with your dedication, nurtured by your compassion, and illuminated by your relentless spirit.

From the heart of our home to the depth of our purpose, here’s a message from our President and COO — a tribute in gold, words etched with respect and reverence, for each of you who make Eternal Gardens not just a place, but a promise kept.

"In other words, don't wait for things to happen, make them happen."

Legacy is not merely written in the pages of history books; it is etched into the lives we touch and the wisdom we leave behind. This month, we look back with profound gratitude and reverence as we honor the man whose vision became our foundation—our beloved founder, Amb. Antonio L. Cabangon Chua.

Today, we reflect on a piece of wisdom that served as his compass, a lesson passed down not through management textbooks, but through a lifetime of experience.

In our moments of doubt, we often find ourselves waiting—waiting for the "perfect" time, the "right" market, or a favorable wind to lift our dreams. But Amb. knew better. He knew that the most resilient kites are those that rise because someone had the courage to run against the wind.

To "run with the kite" is to take charge of your destiny. It is an empathetic call to all of us who are striving, working, and building: Do not wait for things to happen. Make them happen.

Let us stop waiting for the wind and start running toward our dreams.

Every sculpted line, every reverent form holds a story of devotion and grace, reflecting not just skill, but a profound spiritual connection.

Conrado F. Balubayan, a name synonymous with monumental religious art, dedicated his life to shaping sacred figures from cement with a master’s touch. His imposing works, found across Eternal Gardens from the northern reaches of Luzon to the bustling south, evoke a profound sense of awe and reverence, standing as a testament to his steadfastness and quiet devotion.

Particularly noteworthy is his iconic Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, gracing parks in Cagayan de Oro and Cabuyao City, a piece that beautifully illustrates an artistic evolution marking a thoughtful transition from the original bronze form to the serene, ethereal beauty of white cement. Beyond this central inspiration, his hands also brought to life the serene Immaculate Conception, the beloved Sto. Niño Image, Sta. Rosa de Lima, and a poignant life-size Blessed John Paul II, each radiating a quiet spiritual power.

This profound legacy now extends through his son, Napoleon L. Balubayan, entrusted with the sacred task of sculpting the next Transfiguration statue for Eternal Gardens’ newest park in Opol, Misamis Oriental. This passing of the torch beautifully symbolizes continuity, a shared devotion to faith expressed through art. Napoleon’s own artistry can already be witnessed in the Immaculate Conception at Cagayan de Oro park, beautifully linking the established artistry of the father with the promising future held within the son’s skilled hands.
