Kapatid ni Angel Locsin tagos sa puso ang mensahe sa namayapang ama

HABANG sinusulat namin ang balitang ito ay inihahatid na sa kanyang huling hantungan ang tatay ni Angel Locsin na si Ginoong Angel Colmenares.

Pagkatapos ng ilang gabing burol ay inilibing na sa Heritage Park sa Taguig City ang kanyang labi.

Wala pang ipino-post si Angel sa social media na iba pang detalye tungkol sa pagpanaw ng kanyang ama kaya hanggang ngayon ay naghihintay ang kanyang mga tagasuporta.

Samantala, nag-post naman ang kapatid ni Angel na si Ela Colmenares sa Facebook account niya kagabi kung saan ibinahagi niya kung gaano kadisiplina ang ama sa sarili at sa kanilang magkakapatid at sinamahan ito ng larawan noong bata siya na karga ng daddy nila.

Kaya hindi raw maiwasang nagkakaroon sila ng debate kapag sobrang higpit ng kanilang ama lalo na pagdating sa pera.

Baka Bet Mo: Tatay ni Angel tinamaan din ng COVID-19: It’s been a week of feeling helpless…

Tanda namin kaya nakaipon at nakapag-invest si Angel ay dahil ang daddy niya ang kanyang adviser kung paano gastusin ang kinikita at kung saan ito ii-invest.

In fairness ay tahimik lang si Angel pero marami siyang investments kaya naman keri niyang hindi muna humarap sa camera nang ilang taon.

At siyempre gusto rin niyang bigyan ng panahon bilang maybahay ng film producerbat restaurateur na si Neil Arce.

Anyway, going back to Ela ay nakikinita naming emosyonal siya habang sinusulat nito ang mahabang kuwento at pamamaalam sa ama.

“He measured everything—his steps, his meals, his expenses. His life was a careful balance of discipline and faith, an unwavering commitment to principles I sometimes struggled to understand.

“He was a man of rules, of strict lines drawn between right and wrong, lines I often questioned. We argued—about faith, about money, about choices.

“He believed in thrift, in saving every peso, in never indulging in what wasn’t necessary. I used to roll my eyes when he would question me over an additional allowance, never realizing it was his way of teaching, of preparing me for a world that takes more than it gives.

“He fought for 98 years—a long, disciplined, honorable life. He kept his body strong, his convictions stronger. There was fire in his voice giving certainty to his words.

“I regret not visiting him more, especially when life became difficult for him. I should have been there, should have listened more, should have told him that despite our differences, I admired him. And yet, there were times I wondered—was he ever proud of me? How did I measure up to him?

“I will never know now. But I want to believe that in his own way, he loved me. That behind his firm words and calculated steps, there was a father who wanted only the best for his child.

“Thank you, Daddy. For your advice, your discipline, your faith—even the parts I struggled with. Thank you for showing me what it means to stand by what you believe in, no matter how the world sways.

“You lived by principles I didn’t always understand, and maybe I spent too much time trying to change your mind instead of appreciating the man you were.

“But I see it now.

“You fought a good fight—not just against time, but against the temptations of ease and indulgence. You stayed true to yourself, to your God, to the lessons you wanted us to learn. You stood firm, even when I pushed back.

“I am sorry for the moments I let slip away. For the visits I postponed, the words I kept to myself. I hope you knew, in the quiet spaces between our arguments and our differences, that I loved you.

“I am sorry for the words I never said, the love I could have shown more.

“I miss you. More than I have words for.

“And if you ever wondered, as I did—yes, Daddy, I was proud of you, too.

“Daddy, I never told you enough, but I watched you. I watched how you measured your steps, how you carried yourself with quiet discipline. How you counted each peso, each moment, each sacrifice—always careful, always certain.

“You measured everything in life—but your love is immeasurable. And mine for you will never fade,” ang buong mensahe ni Ella sa namayapang ama.
