HIRAP akong isulat ang bagay na malapit sa puso ko. Kaya ibabahagi ko na lang ang aking social media post tungkol sa pagyao ng anak ni Kuya Randy Santiago na si Ryan, 24, noong Linggo:
“Heroes take journeys
Confront dragons
And discover the treasure
Of their true selves
Although at times they
May feel alone in their quests,
At the end, their reward is
A sense of community
With themselves and with others.”
It pains me to go home with the news that the cute little kid who grew up in front of our very eyes when his father Kuya Randy Santiago would tag him along in the studio, has left us.
As Cinemalaya 13 came to a close, I remember him joining his Tito Rowell in supporting our film entry and joining us in our movie marathons at the CCP. (He was a Multi-Media Communications Student sa De La Salle University.)
We continuously prayed for you, RYAN; and we’re witnesses to how your family would always be on alert mode when something happened to you.
Now, you are at peace and there’s no more pain.
Send our love to Mama Chiling and Papa Pablo.
GOOD NIGHT RYAN SANTIAGO! #FriendsFamilyForever♥ #RIPRyanSantiago
Na-cremate na agad si Ryan at nagsimula ang viewing ng kanyang urn kahapon ng 5:00 PM na tatagal hanggang Wednesday sa La Salle Greenhills Chapel.
Dumagsa agad ang mga kaanak at kaibigan ng pamilya Santiago na well-loved sa ating industriya.
Mula rito sa Abante TONITE, ang aming taos pusong pakikiramay sa pamilya nina Randy at Marilou, Rowell, Reily (Junjun), Raymart at Rhea.
