                       Tuesday, December 19, 2023

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Ms. 
Rosalynn Alba Cobarrubias.
  A City of Walnut native who worked tirelessly to become a media 
entrepreneur and music promoter, Rosalynn's first music industry 
position was as a radio DJ at KSAK-FM 90.1, the campus radio station of 
Mt. San Antonio College.
  Rosalynn played a key role in developing the MySpace Music platform, 
serving as its marketing head and leading artist relations and driving 
connections between artists and their fans. Her work ethic was enhanced 
by her creativity and innovation. Rosalynn produced legendary live 
events, collaborating with iconic artists like Rihanna, Bruno Mars, 
Miguel, and John Legend.
  She was also known for using her talent and resources to spread a 
wealth of knowledge--not just to upcoming artists, but to her community 
at large. Rosalynn was a strong advocate for Filipino American artists, 
helping them find success in the music industry. She also supported 
Filipino American heritage nights at Dodgers games.
  A long-time advocate for youth empowerment even beyond Southern 
California, Rosalynn helped build basketball courts across the 
Philippines. Rosalynn's passion for music and dedication to her 
Filipino heritage and community should be celebrated.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in honoring 
the life of Rosalynn Alba Cobarrubias. May God bless her and ease her 
family's pain as they mourn for their loss.
