Dr. Felipe B. Cachola: A Legacy and his journey to eternity

Manila- As one of the first presidents of the Philippine Teachers Association for the Research of Principles, PTARP, Dr. Felipe Buccat Cachola made his legacy to activate and organized many PTARP and even WCARP chapters all over the country. He worked hard to always be around during local, regional and national teachers seminars on Values Education, Axiology, Epestimology and other educational and philosophical thoughts which he and PTARP believes are essential towards the leadership formation not only in the academic area but for welfare of the entire country and the world.

If not because of his aging and ailing body, PTARP wants to keep him in his leadership of PTARP. He is dearly loved and recognized in his way of managing and administering the organization. He joins the national steering committee of the Unification Movement Philippines and share his academic and management councils as his expertise to the group. He was also part and around with the Board of Trustees during the organization and structuring of the Sun Hwa Int'l Academy in its pioneering stage.

Moreover, he has served productively as university president, dean and educator in several state universities, colleges and institutions like Isabela State University in Isabela, Mariano Marcos State University in Ilocos Norte and Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University in La Union. He was also the well recognized Senior Consultant of the prestigious accrediting agency for chartered state universities and colleges in the Philippines called AACCUP.

As one of the first Ambassadors for Peace from the Philippines, he too has done his part not only to Philippines but also to the international arena not only by attending conferences but as one of the speakers who always caught the international audience with active and bright interactions.


He directly testify to teachers and professionals on the impact of the Divine Principle that changes his life and on how Rev. Sun Myung Moon worked, stand and accomplished his providential role as central figure and True Parents of humankind in this completed testament era.

In his twilight time, he still stood up and speak infront of the big gathering of the first IPEC Conference and PTARP Convention in Manila last August 2006 and share to the educators, professors, instructors and teachers together with Dr. Salvador of PTARP-PUP chapter and made IPEC truly an image of PTARP in the international scene.

UPF and UM Philippines together with the National Steering Committee, PTARP, WCARP Philippines and other affiliates of the movement, say we will be missing you Sir Ipe! Your great works and faithful sacrifices for the Philippine Providence is indeed your living testimony as you proudly claim to the public that you are a proud Moonie!!!

Maligayang paglalakbay po Peace Ambassador Dr. Felipe B. Cachola!!!!
