People thought it was supposed to be the happiest day of his life — but he may have had demons that nobody else knew of.
A 29-year-old farmer named Reynold Batiao was found hanging on a rubber tree outside his home in Sitio Taplan in Barangay Buto in Koronadal City, South Cotabato around 5am on Fri, May 29.
“According to Senior Insp. Sherwin Boy Maglana, the Tampakan town police chief, Batiao was set to wed his long-time fiancée, identified only as Jane, at 10am of the same day,” reports Edwin O. Fernandez on Inquirer.net.
Witnesses say that Batiao was seen sleeping on a hammock outside his house at 3am. But, at 5am, he was found hanging on the rubber tree.
Relatives say Batiao had seemed anxious in the past few days.
The report likewise added that “Batiao was among the 957 survivors of the 2009 Superferry tragedy off Zamboanga peninsula.”
