Although I was not very close with mitoy I can still remember the laughs we shared while visiting when I was younger, I remember his smile was as bright as the sun and the happiness he brought my mother and everyone around him with his mischief and laughs. Mitoy was far too young to have his life taken away from him in such an unfair way; however, today is a celebration of the life he led on this earth and the impact he's left in all our hearts. He would not want you all to cry but to smile and remember him just as he was, happy and loving. Today is also his step into God's arms and making the sun a little more brighter with his smile up in heaven. Palangga ko kamo tanan
