Our sincerest condolences go to the family and loved ones left behind. May they find strength, comfort, and peace as they go through this difficult time.

We humbly ask the public and the UMak community to give the family the privacy and space they deserve to grieve. Please be mindful of what we share and refrain from speculation or spreading unverified information.

May the student’s soul rest in peace.

The University of Makati confirms that a student was found lifeless on campus today.

Guidance counselors, trained faculty, and staff are available to provide support and psychological first aid to members of the UMak community who may need assistance.

We kindly ask the community to respect the family’s privacy by refraining from spreading speculative details and by upholding compassion across all platforms.

We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the student’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
