The Death of my former boss.....

Last week I received a text message from a close friend Hannah (my former co-worker in DLPC) that Mr. Al Aboitiz died, ("FYI: Mr. Alfonso Aboitiz is the president (owner) of Davao Light and Power Company, where I used to worked before"). Then I ask my friend who's working there right now just to confirm everything, then I found out that it's true.I even ask her what the cause of Sir. Al's sudden death ,she said that the management told them that Al died in a tragic accident. That's the only reason I've got even in the radio station can't give the exact cause of he's death,they have the same statement "Al died in a the tragic accident". I keep asking myself what kind of accident happened to my former boss, maybe he has a sort of illness that is incurable or the plane he's riding went crash or he got ambush. Well this speculations ends when I research about he's death on the internet ("curious lang ko oi...."), I'm trying to search what's the real reason behind it, after all he's my former boss.I'm totally shock when I found out what's the cause of he's death. The news goes like this..."Alfonso Aboitiz, 48, was found by the helper lying on the bed in the guest room bathed in his own blood about 7 p.m. She immediately called Aboitiz' brother Jimmy, who lived nearby.Responding paramedics of the Emergency Rescue Unit Foundation headed by Michael Gabi declared Aboitiz dead shortly after they arrived in the house."-taken from Cebu Daily News-. Seriously I stopped for a while, I really can't believe Al will commit suicide.

I remember when I was still working in DLPC.I always got a chance to see him and there was a time our path crossed in the office twice or thrice?("I forgot that already"), then he will tell you "kumusta?" with a very pleasant smile then I replied "Ok, lang sir" then move("haha, maulaw sad ko oi feeling close?"). He's in early 40's then but when he smiles I'm sure many girls will go gaga over him. He has a sweetest smile that can please you, a youthful looking guy that it's hard to guess what he's real age, and a nice man that you can look up to. Well for me I look him as my boss ("hes not my type, iyaha bro ako type si Jimmy, kay bata pa..hahaha"). Sometimes when I looked at him at the distance, I always ask myself ("What it feels to be sir Al's wife?he's rich, definitely good-looking, and nice man...parang kang nanalo sa lotto. And what it feels to be categorized as one of the elite people in the society?all people look-up to you,treat you like a king....hahay ang saya siguro noh?").Well now I'm really surprised about this tragic event I can't believe that the person who has everything in life, a life that other people wishes to have ends he's life in a minute. I can't believe that a warm smile that I saw before lies a burden inside.

I really don't know what's the real reason why he spare he's own life or did he really spare he's life? It's a hanging question, but I do believe I don't have the right to know it. I'm praying for he's soul, hope he can enter God's kingdom and I'm also praying for he's family the pain they felt know is indescribable ("My warm condolence to the Aboitiz clan.")

P.S. : Surely money can't buy happiness some of us wishes we have everything in life a power,a fame, a glitzy lifestyle. But if we try to look at it these stuff we wish are useless , in order to be happy live life with all the people you love and not on the things you love.
