HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAISY!

UC Nursing CESDEV warmly greets one of its volunteers, Daisy Dela Cerna, a very Happy Birthday! Daisy is a second year student nurse of UC Banilad College of Nursing and is one of the five UC Banilad Nursing students who became a celebrated priest’s “angels” and were featured in his homily, after the girls found and returned Reverend Fr. Jerry Orbos' wallet.

Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD, visited Cebu and was in Gaisano Country Mall. He first bought a bottle of water at the food court and proceeded to purchase some items at the department store when he realized he lost his wallet. With a prayer on his lips, he rushed back to the Foodcourt where five Nursing students, upon seeing him looking like he lost something, inquired and handed him the wallet. In his delight, he invited the female students to his evening mass at the Sacred Heart Parish, where he shared his experience in his homily to the applauding churchgoers.

“I would like to praise and thank the Lord for the meekness and purity of heart of my newfound friends who not only gave me my wallet back, but who also gave me renewed hope and confidence in the youth of our land.”
