The APCORE family expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of Atty. Lily Freida Milla, Director of the International Affairs Service (IAS) of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

Atty. Milla was more than just a dedicated public servant; she was a steadfast partner and a constant supporter of APCORE in all its endeavors. Her vision for globalizing Philippine education and her unwavering belief in our mission helped pave the way for many of our successes.

We honor her legacy of leadership, excellence, and service to the academic community. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and colleagues at CHED during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Atty. Lily. Your impact will continue to be felt by generations of educators and students alike. 🕊️
