My Donation Proposal to the UPV Library Fund in Memory of David E Katague III

I have a Proposal for Donation to the UPV** Library Fund to honor the memory of my son, David E Katague III 

The UPIC Picnic, Bacolod City, 1953. I am sixth second row from the Right

Just recently, I have been in communication with alumni of UPIC*, now residing here in US. Our communication involved my proposed donation to the UP Library Fund for their Archive Section via the UPMASA ( University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America). I have been communicating with Dr. Josefino Ceballos, Dr Nerita Ulep and Dr Silverio Cabellon, as well as with the UPV Librarian, Analiza Linaugo in Miagao, Iloilo. Here is the current status of this proposed donation.  

Dear Dr Katague,

We are overwhelmed with your gesture of support to the UPV Library for the improvement of our service to our constituents and to the public. The amount you are about to donate would greatly aid us to put an Archive Section, in the New Library Building, that would store information for the university.

As previously mentioned, we will properly recognize all donors by engraving, in walls or in brass plates, their names in specific section/area inside the proposed UPV Archives Section.

To honor the memory of your late son, David E. Katague III, we can also engrave his name in a wall or brass plates together with his face, if possible and if it's okay with you.

We will present samples during the Zoom meeting on August 11(EST)/August 12 (PST), so that we may get your comments/suggestions regarding the recognition and appreciation that we could give.

See you at the Zoom meeting. Thank you and God bless you all.

Sincerely,
Analiza Linaugo

My Response:

The memorial proposal sounds perfect with me, Now my question of tax deduction possibility. David B Katague, Ph.D.

My proposed donation is pending and will not be released until a complete assurance and documentation that the donation in memory of my son, David E Katague III will be tax deductible and a Plaque with his name and photo will be installed in the Archive Section Of the Library as his memorial. 

With this development, It reminded me of several photos I have in my album during my two years of college life at UPIC* from 1951-1953. Here are some of the Photos:    

The UP Student Catholic Action, Iloilo Chapter. I was the Chapter President, 1952-1953. I am in the front row, 4th from the Left. Look at those shoes!

The UP Circulo Servantino- Spanish Club with Adviser - Mr. Tim Gensola and Dean Nolasco. I am first in the second row from the Left.

The above 2 photos were taken in front of the 1936-1937 City Hall (UP Visayas Iloilo City Main Building). Formerly Called UPIC, Univ of the Philippines Iloilo College.

I am one of the 2 UPIC alumni who took Honors on the National Board Exams in 1957.
