We wish to convey our deepest condolences on the passing of Atty. Lily Freida C. Macabangun-Milla, Director of the International Affairs Service of the Commission on Higher Education.

We are deeply saddened by this loss. Atty. Milla was a committed and respected leader whose dedication to international cooperation and higher education development made a lasting contribution to the Philippines and to the region. Her professionalism, warmth, and unwavering commitment will be remembered by colleagues and partners across Southeast Asia and beyond. Throughout the years of collaboration between CHED and SEAMEO RIHED, she was a constant source of support, encouragement, and guidance.

Beyond her professional excellence, Atty. Milla will be remembered for her compassion, kindness, and the genuine care she extended to those around her. She had a rare ability to make collaboration feel human, to offer reassurance in difficult moments and to quietly uplift others through her presence. Her impact touched lives and made the work we do feel more meaningful.

Our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and the entire Commission on Higher Education(CHED) community. We join you in mourning the loss and honour the life, service, and legacy of an exceptional lady who we regard as our beloved friend.

May her memory continue to inspire the work we carry forward together.
