It can be recalled that Tablanza’s nephew, Robin Dacanay Esguerra, fell to his death in an elevator shaft within the mall’s premises.

Earlier reports say Esguerra didn’t realize that the elevator cabin or car was on a different level, and when he stepped inside after the elevator doors opened, he immediately fell down below at a height of more than 60 feet.

During the interview at her nephew’s wake, Tablanza appealed to the SM management to give attention to the case of her nephew.

“Humihingi po ako ng ano sa mga pamunuan ng SM na sana po, bigyang pansin nyo po yung ano ng empleyado nyo na wag nyo po sanang balewalain po yung nangyari,” Tablanza said during the interview.

“Kahit casual man o ano ang pamangkin ko. Worker po siya dyan. Nagmamalasakit po siya dyan sa mga kasamahan niya as leadman ng inyong ano,” the grieving aunt added.

She also pointed out that Esguerra was just starting his own family with his wife who is due to give birth soon, expressing pity on the wife’s plight.

Tablanza also called on Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong to help ensure a proper investigation is conducted regarding the case of her nephew.

“Sana po magresponse po kayo sa family lalo na po ang asawa niya malapit na pong manganak. Paano nila ire-raise yung anak nila? Kawawa naman po. Nagsisimula pa lang po sila ng pamilya,” the aunt said.

“So please po, pamunuan ng SM, kay Mayor Magalong po, humihingi po kami ng ano na bigyan nyo po ng sapat na imbestigasyon itong nangyari sa pamangkin ko sana po wag nyo pong balewalain ito, yung lang po ang masasabi ko,” Tablanza concluded.
