He is a bold man of honor!
May 21, 2008I was with Red yesterday when I received a text messages from my brother and my friend, Bry, which really shocked me! He was asking me if it is true that Tito Pen (we usually called Ka Crispin Beltran like that) died. I asked Red if it was true, then he said he doesn’t have any idea. So I asked Bry where did he get that news, and he said that it was flashed in the news in television. I got shocked with that message of him. I even told Red that it was really impossible because the last time I saw Tito Pen, he was really fine and he doesn’t look like he had any signs of sickness. I felt bad and I even wanted to cry, but I hugged Red instead and showed him that I was okay though inside I was not, really. I knew that he could feel it too.
I asked Bry what was the cause of his death, and he said that Tito Pen fell on the ground while he was fixing their roof. ”What an ironic death.” that was Red told me. I said to him that I am glad that he died in that way rather than somebody killed him or he was sick.
I knew that Tito Pen was a good leader and he will fights for the rights of his countrymen. He did a lot of good deeds for his fellowmen; he fights for the rights of the laborers even if his life was at stake. And because of that he’d rather choose to die with worthiness.
For Tito Pen,
You are a
good husband, brother, father, confidant, legislator, grandfather, uncle and a fellow citizen to all. And we thanked you for that. You left a mark that surely people will always remember you. And that mark is a mark of boldness, heroism, gallantry, liberal, and uprightness. Even if you are not physically present in our surroundings, we know that you’ll just always there to help and guide us. You did a lot of help to every Filipino laborer and because of that, many people love you. We know that you are now with God and even if we are sad because of your loss, someday the pain that we are feeling now soon will be healed. People will always remember you. You left us good memories that we will always remember. Thank you and we love you! Take care wherever you are.
