PLAI-IRLC extends its deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Juan C. Buenrostro, Jr., one of the pillars of Librarianship profession in the Philippines.

May his soul rest in peace. 🙏

🕊️ In Loving Memory

The Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. – National Capital Region Librarians’ Council (PLAI-NCRLC) extends its deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. Juan C. Buenrostro, Jr.

Dr. Buenrostro gave so much of himself to the library profession — his knowledge, his time, and his genuine love for the work. For those of us in the library community, he was a quiet reminder of what it truly means to serve. His absence will be felt.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏
