Kaban ni D_BystandeR: ANUGON LANG ANG TANAN


It's a pity their son's life would meet a tragic end at the hands of his girlfriend's father who holds a respectable job as a law enforcement officer. This case would have only been made possible to exist in the hands of a good story-writer whose forte deals with a "love story" between two teenagers who vowed to love each other but found the girl's father hell-bent to end their relationship "by all means," because they are world's apart being that the girl belongs to a well-to-do  family and the boy just a son of a "nobody" but hardworking parents.

These two souls and as young as they are, are not fated with each other and only death could set them apart from each other.


Note: This is a latest comment to a related news item which appeared in Sunstar-Cebu where the mother of the victim Lilybeth Montesclaros confided to a reporter in an interview that her son Vincent Paul is the eldest in a sibling of 8. He is a responsible son who takes care of his younger siblings when his parents are away. His father, Paul, works in a communication company in IT Park, Cebu City and his mother moonlights as a manicurist. He is a scholar in his school and he dreamed of becoming a teacher one day, a modest dream of a young teenager who could have dreamed of higher vocations or profession based on his educational excellence as a young scholar.But he knew his parents are poor and cannot afford to send him to higher levels of profession except to become a teacher. In his room, he kept all the mementos of his young love life like letters, gifts and pictures between him and his girlfriend Natasha Faye and advised his mother not to touch them. The mother said her son is responsible and loving. He would see to it that his younger siblings have already taken their meal before seeing his girlfriend. To help the family, her son would join local male pageants and dance competitions. "Gwapo to siya, maayo sad mosayaw. (He was good-looking and a good dancer)," Lilybeth said. Considering her husband's meager salary, Lilybeth said they considered Vincent as their ticket out of poverty. "Makatabang ta to siya namo sa pagpa-eskwela sa iyang mga manghud. (He could have helped send his siblings to school)," she said.
