In Memoriam: Gov. Dakila “Dax” Cua 🕊️
With heavy hearts, the Rotary Club of Aseana Manila mourns the passing of our dear fellow Rotarian and former Transformational President, Gov. Dakila “Dax” Cua.
Gov. Dax led our Rotary Club during one of the most challenging periods in our history, the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when communities needed leadership, compassion, and action, he stepped forward and served with purpose.
But Gov. Dax did not simply serve the people. He made sure that his service was transformational. He believed that service should create meaningful change, reach those who needed it most, and leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
His commitment to service extended far beyond the province of Quirino, where he served. During calamities, he made sure that families received support and assistance when they needed it most.
And even as the years passed, he never forgot his Rotary family. He continued to check in with our Club and our members, always asking how he could contribute and making sure that, in whatever way he could, he could be part of the service projects we were doing. His connection to our Club was never simply about being a member. He remained committed to being of service.
His leadership during the pandemic, his compassion during times of crisis, and his willingness to continue contributing to the work of Rotary will remain part of the legacy he leaves behind.
Gov. Dax showed us that Service Above Self is not simply about serving others. It is about creating change that continues long after the service is done.
Thank you, Gov. Dax, for your leadership, your friendship, and your transformational service.
You will be deeply missed, but your legacy of service will continue to live on in the lives you touched and the communities you helped transform.
Rest in peace, Gov. Dax. 🕊️
