With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Bro. Jojimar Kenneth M. Gonowon, our beloved Music Part-Time Instructor at Polytechnic College of Botolan, who also served as the General Guardian Superior of the Martinian Brothers.

He was more than an educator—he was a guiding light, a source of inspiration, and a man of faith and humility. His dedication to music, service, and the community left a lasting impact on every life he touched.

We remain safe in the knowledge that his legacy will continue to live on through the lessons he shared and the hearts he shaped. We are forever grateful for his invaluable contributions to the Polytechnic College of Botolan.

Rest in peace, Sir. Your music, wisdom, and kindness will never be forgotten.
