Folks,
I am posting here an email passed on to us in our yahoogroups by Rey Dacones.. this posting was a forward that came from class 1978
just passing on the message

Marlene and i visited Sir Emmett at BGH (Flavier bldg, rm 337 this time) after going all over and searching for him in the 3 buildings of BGH since his name is not listed in the information at the main bldg. but a lady doctor happened to hear us looking for him and told us where his room is! Outside his room, we saw Manang Beulah (formerly Zeny Badua) who is taking care of Emmett along with Ely and husband. Mng Beulah told us that so many Sci Hi alumni are finding it hard also to locate Emmett coz they had to transfer rooms so many times since Feb.
Emmett no longer can talk or open his eyes but he still can hear… he is full of tubes (oxygen, medicine, food, blood transfusion – type O)… and looks really buto’t balat na… his arms are bloated though because of the needle pricks for the blood transfusion and dextrose and all… he coughs sometimes and Mng B holds his neck and head to bring him up so he wont choke… he said “hmmm†though when we introduced ourselves.
So, its just Sci Hi alumni and friends who are taking care of his needs… many of the older classes take turns bringing blood donations, many of those abroad send money, the different classes have local representatives collecting financial donations and sending them thru Mng Beulah and Pastor John. And people coming are finding out “uy Science Hi din pala si ganun  pati mga doctors and nurses are getting to know the Science High spirit so much alive and so loving to Emmett. Its just so heart-warming! Sana nga we can have a Science High alumni directory so we can also know where our manongs and manangs and adings are now… a real clan talaga.
You have been talking about ‘giving back’… maybe lets prioritize Emmett now coz he has very little time na. He is 78 yo (march 3) and we think he may be waiting for… whatever it is… so, if you wanna see him, please go now. I was thinking about… maybe an Emmett Brown Asuncion Foundation – if we want to see his legacy live on – that of selfless giving to so many young students to educate them (like he did to us)… what do u think?
Science High spirit remains alive!
Yesterday, I got a message from Manang Beulah that Emmett Asuncion needed 4 units of blood. Since I was mobile it was only in the evening that I was able to send the alert through various sites and text messages.
I had a slow morning because of a personal predicament, I fell last Sunday and my leg and ribcage is still hurting, so was not able to do much. It was in the afternoon that I remembered and I texted Mng Beulah for update and she responded that there was still no blood donation yet. That was when we exchanged a barrage of text messages and calls with Manong Ramon Dacawi, Philippine Red Cross and YMCA Disaster Team. Manong MonDax (that’s what we call him) called up the Baguio Red Cross and was told they blood in Baguio not yet screen as there are no reagents and so they were contacting their Benguet counterpart. By 3:30 he got notice that they can get from Benguet and so he headed to Benguet Red Cross with the agreement that he should present the blood donor’s card. So we contacted Rex Ludaes, of the YMCA disaster volunteer group for the member cards. By 4:30 he was still in Benguet waiting for the call from Baguio Red Cross to release. Finally, they were able to get two units of type O blood that was required by Emmett. With that release, we still need one unit as required.
The spirit remains to bind us together as we respond to the needs of Emmett, the co-founder of UB Science High. Thanks to Manong Ramon for that positive response, thanks for Manang Beulah, who remains to be at his bedside, to the science High alumni doctors, nurses and medical staff who monitor him, to those who continue to give updates and all those who continue to pour financial, spiritual and other support. All connected from the first batch to the newest. Manong Ramon is from class 1964, Manang Beulah from class 1969, we were in class 1974, Neil Ambasing is of a more recent class and we could list others who are actively monitoring our beloved Emmett. The Science High Spirit continue to spread.
To some of those who went to visit him, they would not return a second time, as they said they want to remember Emmett as he was before – strong, formidable, energetic and alert. Some would not want to see him in his pain and in his helplessness. Yet, some would brave it and drop by at his hospital room, bring flowers, books to read, give cards, medicine, medical supplies and other things that he need at this time. I have accompanied some of you as you handed these, likewise with some who came to pray and share stories with him. All is not lost, the memories of the past and now will remain with us.
I wanted to just say thank you but I got carried away, rambling…
We need at least one more unit of type O+ of RBC for Emmett. Please bring to BGH.

Early this month, our beloved Emmett suffered a mild stroke. He was admitted at the SLU Hospital from February 07-14. He showed signs of improvement and went home to recuperate. He is undergoing medication, but is currently dehydrated and weak. For proper monitoring and re-evaluation, Sir Emmett was advised to be re-admitted to the hospital. Sir Emmett needs our help, as his expenses are piling (medicines, hospital bills, professional fees). He has devoted his life to the Science High, making sure that we felt special. We grew up knowing that we were the best among our peers because of him. This is an opportune time to show our appreciation and to reach out to him.
Donations can be sent to: Metrobank Account Number – 300-332-1844 Account Name – Emmett Brown Asuncion *We are still waiting for news if he was already admitted at the Baguio General Hospital. Updates will be posted as soon as they are received.

Manang Philian, Danny, Zaldy, and Ading Louie – thank you for your support. I just spoke with Leandro and he said that Sir Emmett is still at home, but they might have him admitted later. Manong Neil Ambasing, one of Sir Emmett’s attending physicians, advised the family that he needs to be in the hospital. Dr Alma Suclad, a manang, will also be there to attend to him.

Address – 110 Imelda Village, Baguio City

Thank you, too, to Ading Cherwyn and Ading Jamela.
