The Clarion - Chevalier School, Inc.

The Chevalier School, Inc. (CS) community is in mourning following the passing of Rev. Fr. Archimedes D. Tapang, MSC, who peacefully returned to his Creator on June 11, 2026. A beloved figure in the institution's history, Fr. Archie, as he was fondly called, dedicated more than 15 years of his life to the CS community.

Fr. Archie first joined the CS community in 2005, serving as Vice Rector until 2006 before becoming the School Rector, a position he held with distinction until 2020. During his tenure, he became a steadfast spiritual anchor for students, faculty, staff, and alumni alike, guiding the institution through years of growth.

In keeping with his final wish, Fr. Archie's remains were transferred from Manila to CS Chapel on Tuesday, June 16, accompanied by his family and loved ones. Rev. Fr. Ronie Botona, MSC, presided the liturgical rite of reception of his remains, together with the CS community.

His remains will lie in state at the school chapel until June 17, allowing members of the community to pay their respects and offer prayers. A Funeral Mass will be offered on June 18 at 12:30 p.m.

Though Fr. Archie has completed his earthly journey, the seeds he planted of faith, compassion, and excellence continue to take root in the hearts of every Caballero and Fair Lady.

The CS community requests prayers for the eternal repose of the soul of Rev. Fr. Archimedes D. Tapang, MSC.
