How about Ta...Have you heard about Charlene Santos? How about Tara Santelices? For those who always watch news, these names should be familiar. Charlene is a 27 yrs old call center employee who graduated from UP Diliman and was shot dead as not to take her cell phone during a robbery inside as FX Taxi. Tara, 23 yrs old Atenista was shot in the head by a .38 cal revolver on the eve of her birthday. The alleged assailant, a burly looking man in his 40's who remains at large.<BR/>How I knew Tara? My sister Cherry told me her story. Tara was critical when she brought in the Medical City. After hearing the story, my sympathies kindled for Tara and anger for those culprits. Who would have thought two months after what happened to Tara, we would also be the victims of those evil men. Sad part, it happened inside our house.<BR/>As I am about to start this column I chose not to elaborate further, what happened on the night of October 7, 2008. I just want to pay tribute to the bravest woman I have ever known. I want her memories fill this page intended for my thoughts. Through this simple way, I want to thank her for saving our lives.<BR/>Five-armed men brandishing .38 cal revolver and 9mm, broke into our house and hogtied us. After divesting our personal belongings, suspect tried to rape my younger sister who at that time is sleeping in the second floor of our house. But my sister Cherry begged and said "ako na lang wag nyo ng gagalawin ang kapatid ko", when my sister refused to give in to the suspect's lust, and shouted "tulungan nyo kami!" She was shot three times in the head, stomach, and leg.<BR/>I never got the chance to talk to her unlike my other siblings and parents. The "tulungan nyo kami" is the last words I heard from her. Papa, tearfully recalled how my sister begged him while she was in the Medical City "Papa, uwi nyo na ko, pagod na pagod na ako" when I heard from my mother that may sister is conscious, I have a strong faith that she will survive. I know how strong she was to fight for her life; she did all she can to survive in the operation. She held on so long to endure the pain of her wounds. By 12:20pm, my family took me to the Medical City on the excuse that I have to donate blood for my sister. However, at the back of my mind, I have a feeling that she already surrenders her life into hands of God. As I set foot in the promenade of medical City, I saw my father crying, He embrace my younger sister, and asked me to go to the ICU. I saw the doctor reviving her. I can't take the pain of seeing her from that situation. I turned my back. Someone told me "wag ka naman ganyan, lumalaban pa ate mo".<BR/>My sister, a 23 yrs old graduate of Rizal Technological University, and a medical City employee finally bid goodbye at exactly 12:40pm of October 8, 2008, as if saying, "IT IS FINISHED"<BR/>The last moment of her life, she never got a chance to introduce to us her boyfriend for three years. As much as possible she wants her private life to be literally private even to her family. We met her boyfriend beside her lifeless body; the best friend of my sister introduced him to us. It was the saddest but very inspiring love story that ever revealed to me.<BR/>Losing my sister was the lowest part of our lives. What happened to us made me realized how cruel some people are these days. We get hold of so much sympathy for my sister but this time we need JUSTICE.<BR/>The criminals continue to roam freely. If justice will not be served, I know that divine justice will. But no one can fill up the gap, the emptiness we had in our hearts. <BR/>"One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I will not say goodbye Ate, for you and I will meet again. Thank you saving us. If fate will lead me to the place where you are now, the first thing I will do is to hug you. I will never get tired saying how much I love you. No more tears, no more worries, and no more pains."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485932.post-20098155467699928952009-04-06T19:14:00.000+08:002009-04-06T19:14:00.000+08:00This is the first time I heard of this,.
