Rest in Peace Senator Enverga

Founder of Philippine Canadian Charitable Foundation (PCCF)

No words can express how much we'll miss you and how much we appreciate what you've done for the Filipino Canadian Community.

PCCF will dedicate itself to continuing its mission to have fun, while helping others.

Senator Enverga's unwaivering commitment to the community has inspired many, but most especially the officers and council of leaders who work hard to make PCCF events successful.

Tribute Excerpt from Romy Rafael, President of Philippine Canadian Charitable Foundation-

"His passion and drive to help those in need, especially in their time of need shown in his involvement in numerous charitable causes and this is how the PCCF came to be. Before being appointed to the senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he created the PCCF in October 2010, in order to help the poorest of the poor in the Philippines. He was a selfless man who loved his country and genuinely wanted to help the people in it. He was determined to help. He once said in his speech: "We are not afraid to fail". We may fall, stumble and cry, but we will stand up stronger and fulfill our mission to charity. By his example, he inspired people, like myself, to be an advocate for positive change and to help those in need.

In spite of all of his accomplishments, he remained humble and determined to serve his community and fellow countrymen. During the devastation of typhoon Yolanda "Haiyan", he led volunteers and garnered help from the Canadian government to help the victims of this tragedy. He made me promise him to give more houses to the poor. He had a deep understanding the needs of the poor and did everything in his power to advocate for them. He exemplified true leadership. Senator Enverga gave us a sense of purpose- that was the extent of his influence.

There is a saying that goes: “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Even though you are no longer with us, your spirit will live on through those whose lives you touched. Your legacy will continue and you will forever be in our hearts. May you Rest in Peace Senator. We will miss you.

PAALAM SENATOR"
