Nakakaiyak ang sunud-sunod na mensahe ng pamamaalam ng pamilya Gutierrez sa yumaong kapamilyang si Alexa Gutierrez, asawa ni Elvis Gutierrez.
Pumanaw si Alexa noong July 27, 2024 matapos ang mahigit isang taong pakikipaglaban sa leukemia. She was 38.
Una nang nag-post ng kanyang farewell message si Ruffa kasabay ang announcement ng malungkot na balita.
Sobrang nakaka-touch din ang post ng anak ni Ruffa na si Venice. Aniya, ay hindi raw siya prepared at nagsabing ipagdarasal daw niya araw-araw ang kanyang Tita Lex. Ibinahagi rin niya ang magagandang memories nila ni Alexa. “My dearest Tita Lex, nothing could have prepared me for how much I’ll miss you. It has been a privilege to have known you and been loved by you. I will pray every day that you are resting easy, I will pray for the kids and Tito Elvis, and I will make sure to be the best ate to your girls.
“Your passing has left a hole in this family that nothing will be able to fill. I am so grateful for all the memories we’ve shared. From you babysitting me since ‘07, introducing me to Nicki Minaj, and inspiring me to be the super cool teenage girl just like you when I was a little girl.
“I would do anything to relive those moments again. Thank you for taking care of me and mentoring me through hard times when I had nobody else to turn to. You always took the time out of your day to help and guide me through whatever I was facing.
“All the planned trips and tours we will never get to take, all the tx hotspots you have yet to show me. I will have the best time at uni for you and I will be praying to heaven and telling you about all the stories. You were always my biggest supporter and now my guardian angel. The most beautiful soul taken away from us too soon. I will see you again someday. I love you so much,” ang mahabang saad ni Venice.
Madamdamin din mensahe ng isa pang anak ni Ruffa na si Lorin.
“Our family won’t be the same without you, and we are all so broken from this it’s impossible to express. I promise to do my best to take care of your daughters, my sweet baby cousins, and remind them every day that their mommy is an angel who loves them so much. I have so much I want to say, but no words can encompass how massive of a loss this is for anyone who knew your beautiful spirit. I will do my best to continue making you proud and thank you for being there for me every step of the way. I love you I love you I love you so much,” ani Lorin.
Nag-post din si Sarah Lahbati ng pag-alala kay Alexa kahit na nga ba hiwalay na ito kay Richard Gutierrez.
Ang asawa namang si Elvis ay simple lang ang post at wala nang mensahe pa. Nag-upload lang siya ng larawan nila ni Alexa at naglagay lang ng heart emoji.
Bahay ni Basil, ipinataboy ang espiritu sa kanyang bahay
May panahon palang ginulo ng mga masasamang espiritu ang condo unit na tinitirhan ng OPM singer na si Basil Valdez kaya kinailangan niya itong ipa-exorcise.
Napag-usapan ang pangyayaring ito sa ginanap na symposium kamakailan para sa pagdiriwang ng ika-100 kaarawan ng yumaong Father of Filipino Philosophy na si Fr. Roque J. Ferriols.
“Basil Valdez once called for help, feeling spirits haunted his condo,” kwento ni Prof. Dr. Manuel Dy sa nasabing symposium held at Ateneo de Manila University.
Kahit nasa retreat daw nang panahong iyon si Fr. Ferriols ay pumunta ito sa bahay ni Basil at naitaboy nito ang masasamang elemento. “Fr. Ferriols, despite being on retreat, went and blessed Basil’s condo, and the spirits disappeared,” aniya.
Ang symposium na may titulong The Story of the Wheelwright: The Influence of Chinese Philosophy on the Thought of Fr. Roque Ferriols, SJ ay nakapagdulot ng inspirasyon sa maraming estudyante including TV5/PLDT/Smart Communications, CEO Manny V. Pangilinan at iba pa.
Naging professor ni MVP si Fr. Ferriols at ganu’n na lang ang papuri niya sa kanyang guro na tinawag niyang “my hero.”
“For opening my eyes to the world around me and to the soul within me, Fr. Roque Ferriols is my Ateneo hero. His brilliant insights remain invaluable to me and my core beliefs,” pahayag ng negosyante.
Ang nasabing symposium ay co-organized by the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (FFCCCI), led by President Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro (who was abroad) and represented by EVP Victor Lim. The symposium highlighted Fr. Ferriols’ inspiration from ancient Chinese philosophers like Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi).
Sa pocket presscon na ginanap kahapon sa Kamuning Bakery ay humarap si FFCCCI Public Information Committee Co-Chairman Eddy Cobankiat ng Eslite S-Acetyl Glutathione and Chairman Wilson Lee Flores.
