Our growth in the last few years had started with a sliver of his grit. It was through his leadership that we flourished into where we are presently, after all. So now, it feels as if we had lost our heart. UP Salida would not be what it is now if not for Kuya Silver-- our beloved Kuya Silver.
It is with great pain and sorrow that we announce the passing of Silvestre Noval III. UP Salida has just lost one of its greatest and strongest pillars. All of our works as an organization at present started with his visions, especially as we branched out in the pursuit of making and sharing films for the people. His love for film not only set us ablaze, but it radiated to the people it reached through the work he poured out to Salida.
We are sure he is in a better place now, but the world will never be the same with one less blessing that is Kuya Silver. It was an honor to have been graced with his existence in this lifetime. Our grief is proof that he lived a life that poured and received love; for what is grief if not love preserving?
We know you are free of the pain this life had to give you, and that is our only consolation in this lifetime where we grieve your loss. Rest easy, Kuya Silver. You will forever be etched in our memory as Salida's greatest treasure. But most of all, you were a dear friend and a brother who took care of his many, many siblings who shared his warm love for film.
