Linggo ng Palaspas taposmagsisimba ‘yung buong pamilya ko kasi relihiyoso ang nanay ko. So noongmagsisimba na ‘yung buong pamilya ko, nakabihis na sila. Ako, nasa loob pa ngbahay. Tapos ‘yung tatay ko, nasa labas, naka-istambay. Ayon, tapos maytumatakbo, nagkakagulo na naman. Sabi sa nanay ko, ‘si Mang Rey po, napaaway,napa-trouble.’ ‘Pag labas nila, binabaril na ‘yung tatay ko,” he said, addingthat the suspect never got jailed although his whole barangay saw whathappened. He then took the chance to forgive thesuspect on-air. “Dumating ako sa punto na ipinagpasa-Diyos ko na lang lahat.Binitawan ko siya. Alam mo nga, nalaman kong hindi na maganda ang kalusuganniya kasi doon pa rin siya nakatira sa amin. Sabi ko dun sa mga kaibigan ko,‘Gusto ko siyang pumunta para sabihin sa kanya matagal na ho kitang pinatawad,ha. At kung ‘yun ho ang nagpapabigat sa kalooban niyo ngayon, kung nanonoodsiya ngayon, gusto kong malaman mo ang tagal tagal na kitang napatawad. Bakamabigat pa ang kalooban mo, lalong nagpapahina ng katawan mo ito ngayon, gustokong malaman mo na wala ka ng iisipin sa amin, sa buong pamilya namin, sa nanayko, sa mga kapatid ko. Napatawad ka na namin. Malayang malaya ka na sa galitmula sa pamilya namin,” he said, adding that he also taught his siblings tonever keep hatred as it ruins one’s disposition in life. “Hindi ka magigingmatagumpay, hindi ka magiging maligaya kung lagi ka na lang galit,” he said.
