“We still don’t know why. Pero ano ito? Para saan ang pagpatay na ito? I know that this hurts much because it’s close to home, but this is happening at a time when killing is rampant and killing anyone is becoming common. WE ARE MAD. But our voices are loud. So we will cry out more than ever,” wrote one of his friends.
