Upon learning of his death, his friends and travel buddies populated his Facebook wall (he was Ya Man on Facebook) of great adventures they had during his time.
"Grabe kabuotan, gentleman. He doesn't mind nga maglisod siya basta matabangan lang niya ang adventurous sad," recalled Salas of her friend. — /RHM (FREEMAN)
