Mr. David earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila in 1957.  He loved photography and playing Filipino cultural music with Rondalla, which is the native string ensemble of the Philippines, and it consists of various instruments such as the bandurria, laud, octavina, mandola and guitarra.

Through his gift as an artist Mr. David brought light and love to the lives of his family, his friends and all those he taught.  Although that light has dimmed, it will continue to light the path for everyone as they struggle to make their way without him.  Mr. David will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
