Obituary

JEAN N. LLORIN
Thanks po Madam Jean for everything you have done for our Peace Studies Program in Bicol University. The short time that we have known you have been meaningful to us. Have we known you long before we could have involved you with our Peace Studies Program. I have not seen anyone as passionate and dedicated for the cause of Peace than Madam Jean Llorin. She was humble and self effacing but very engaging in our workshops and trainings. We will miss you po. and We know that you are blessed where you are now. See you at the break of dawn in Eternal Life. May you rest in peace. To the family and loved ones of Madam Llorin we extend our condolences and we share your grief and sense of loss. Let the peace of our Lord be your consolation in at this time. - From Dr. Herbert Rosana, the Faculty Members, the staff and the Students of the DEPARTMENT OF PEACE STUDIES, Bicol University, Legazpi City.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH OUR CURRICULUM IN PEACE STUDIES

What is a Bicolano?

The Bicolano is the term use to describe the Philippine's 5th largest ethno-linguistic group. They speak a language known as Bikol, a Malayo-Polynesian language. They inhabit the Southeastern portion of Luzon spread over five civil provinces namely; Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, and Masbate. There are five chartered cities – Naga, Iriga, Legazpi, Ligao, Sorsogon City , Tabaco and Masbate City. The Southeastern Portion of Luzon is also called Bicol Region or simply Bicolandia. The Bicolanos are not so different from other ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines. What distinguishes the Bicolanos are the following: their love for spicy foods, their ardent devotion to Our Lady of Penafrancia [Bicolanos are devout Roman Catholics], and their affinity with Mt. Mayon Volcano, a natural landmark. These three are iconic of the Bicolano people. Bicol, was in ancient times called Tierra de Ibalon a land of rolling hills, valleys, and coasts. The region has no pronounced division of climate. Rain is plentiful and spread over year-round. The valleys are fertile and the climate friendly, but vulnerable to typhoons and tropical storms. Bicolanos are known for their friendliness, religiosity and hard work.
