We have only known you Ingkong for a little bit but we felt the connection with you as you and Apung Sion are all we have to our Dear Apung Pania's side of the Family. We were very happy to have met you and Apung Sion, I just wish we could have had more chances to see and spend time with you and Apung Sion to listen to your stories about our  Apung Pania.  We feel incredibly sad but happy for we know that you are where you want to be - next to the love of your life-Apung Sion.  Rest In Peace Ingkong.

I am one of those people he helped when he was still alive. In 2015, he often go to our house in Guagua to visit his late older sister Apung Maring who has just passed away last April 26.

 He would come to our house with a curve on his face which was his contagious smile. He always smiles like he didn’t have any problem. 

There was some time in 2015 which I will never forget,  he asked me if I could help him to go to the clinic of Dr. Capati to have his check-up, unhesitatingly I helped him. When we had finally arrived at the clinic, he saw an old woman carrying a baby. Apu Simo approached the woman and handed him 500 pesos with these words “Tanggapan me ini, panyaling panulu ning Apu mu.” The woman was very grateful to Apu Simo for helping her.  — AN AFFIRMATION OF HOW KIND HE WAS. 

Truly, Apu Simo was really kind, selfless and benevolent. I can attest to it. A lot of people can attest to it. 

————

I would like to thank Apu Simo for his kindness which he let me experience. I will forever be thankful to the Lord for his existence. He was a great father, sibling, and grandfather to all his Apo’s. 

————

You can now rest Apu Simo. You are now where you truly belongs, in Heaven, with the Lord. Send my “I love you, Apung Maring” once you meet her. I miss and love you both, Apu. 

Ingkong, I have so many fond memories of you when I was a kid. The one that stands out is when you would ask what I wanted after you came back from the Commissary bagging groceries and my answer would always be the same - “Rocky Road ice cream.” Time and time again you would deliver. One day you brought home Mocha Almond Fudge and I recall being so upset and irate because that’s what little kids do when they don’t get what they want! I eventually got over the spoiled and ungrateful attitude and tried it. To this day, it is my favorite ice cream flavor and I have you to credit. 

Thank you, thank you , thank you for the ice cream. :) This was one of many ways you showed you cared. You were one of the most selfless people I will ever know and I miss and love you. Please tell Ima that I love and miss her too. I take comfort in knowing you are together, happy again. 

My beloved Tatang’s departure from this world left a large hole in my heart.  Always at tears whenever I am praying and cooking his favorite dishes and reminisce the loving years he  spent with us his children. My Tatang accomplished his mission here on earth with flying colors. The love and care he selflessly provided us can never be equaled, truly the greatest father any child can wish for. He always think of others before himself. I deeply miss my Tatang but how can one question the will of God when He called for him?  It is so comforting to know my father is now with my sister Jovencia, his beloved wife, my mother Sion and especially with Jesus. He surely is tending to the Lord’s garden for he loved to plant.  I’m sure my beloved Tatang will continue to watch over us.  He’ll be in my heart forever until the day we’re together again. Rest In Peace Tatang.. I love you and miss you..

Tatang, I can't even write a word without tears.  I really missed you.  How I Wish we can spend more times with you and Inang.  Thank you for your sacrifices, patience and love to all of us.  You are not a man of many words but your actions are enough to show us love.  Thank you for loving us unconditionally.  I love you both.  You will both remember and remain in my heart forever.  

Tatang,  always have a big smile for everyone.  I remembered when he suddenly went home went home as a farm help in Delano, he was covered with hives from  farm chemicals. I cant imagine how itchy those hives were, but i heard no complaints.

He was  so bashful that whenever i take him to work, he always face the window as he  converse with me.   He made sure I have piping hot coffee every morning, not to mention the free gas from riding with me.  Tatang was so accomodating and always think about others before himself.  So generous that he shared whatever he had.  I hurt that he left us but also comforted that he is now in a better place with the Lord and with Inang, the love of his life. I thanked Tatang in one way or another, I learned from him. 

You are a man of few words but your actions definitely defined you. I can only wish that I can be half of what you were; A father that sacrificed a lot to provide for his family, lots of long and tiring days yet still manages to smile and always thought of yourself last because your children came first.
 I will miss our conversations,  simple it might be, yet it meant a lot because I got you to talk and shared your childhood memories. I will miss the silent space when I used to pick you up from Miramar or when we did house projects. And I will definitely miss your happiness and excitement  whenever you get presents from Gina and myself.  I am truly blessed and grateful to have known you. 
Rest in peace Tatang. Your love and kindness will be forever etched in our hearts and minds. 

One thing I would remember about you apu papa was when we were young and we had all the cousins at your house and we would go in the front yard and pick the buds off the bushes and throw it at each other and you’d come out and get mad and chase us but we were kids having fun haha but I think one image I’ll never get out of my head was whenever I go to your house after school in elementary id see you in the backyard whistling , whether you clean or anything I can always remember and hear how you whistle. It’s embedded in my brain, miss you dearly hope you are having fun and watching over all of us!! Love you and apu mama!!

I miss my dad a lot.  Both of them dad and mom.  I miss mom especially at this time that I don't work and always called me to eat at their house.      I miss them taking them out on weekend eat potato corner and drink jumba juice at plaza bonita.  It feels so empty without them.  I know they're both happy now to see each other in heaven.   Thank you for everything inang and tatang, both of you are always in my heart and  your memory never forget.  Rest in peace and love you both.
