Philip Flores to me will forever be the Kuya Philip of Sibikong Kabataang Pinoy (SIKAP), the man who believed "that the future of the Philippines rests on the youth." To Kuya Philip, it was not merely a slogan but a vision. To this end he inspired several young minds to be Makatao, Makabayan, and foremost, Makadiyos. I will never forget the many workshops where Kuya Philip showed his unwavering commitment to the youth. To this day, I would say that the SIKAP workshops were significant in shaping my ideas of nationalism, service, and excellence. Most of all, people I met in SIKAP, including Kuya Philip and his family, became friends for life.
I haven't seen Kuya Philip in over 10 years. But his vision, ideals and kindness are much felt wherever I am.
Happy birthday, Kuya Philip. I wish you many more years of service and inspiration.
