THE University of Antique-Office of the University President released a statement on Sunday condoling the families of the students who were involved in the Antique bus accident last December 5 in Hamtic, Antique.

The office extended its “deepest sympathies and concerns for the families of the College of Technology students.”

According to UA President Dr. Pablo S. Crespo Jr., Jim Andrei Secondes, a student of Bachelor of Industrial Technology, died too young because of the accident.

“The UA system is constantly praying for the soul of this deceased “kasubay” to be granted relief,” the President said.

Meanwhile, the office also hopes for the quick recovery of Christopher Semolava, another industrial technology student, who survived the incident.

Crespo also said the whole university is praying and condoling with the families of the victims.

“May you find strength in the support of your entire UA family that joins together in extending our sincerest prayers and condolences during this difficult time,” he said.
