Lionair plane caught fire at Naia on March 29Bringing more grief was the fact that her husband was aboard with his best friend since flight school, co-pilot Melvin de Castro.
She told her daughter that the flight had left at 7:30 and not 8 p.m. as what was being circulated on social media. Her husband’s body is now in their home, with a funeral yet to take place after the Luzon-wide lockdown because his parents are still in the United States. A daily mass is held and broadcast to loved ones online.
His volunteer work meant time apart from his family even at home, where he would self-quarantine after being exposed outside. “He’s the type of person that everyone knows he’s very family-oriented, he puts his family first above anything else,” she added. She said her husband was able to see his dreams come true before his passing and was grateful for all he had, especially for their younger kids. “Every night after praying, before going to sleep, he always tells them, ‘Thank you for coming, thank you.’”
