"Wala na. 'Yung pinakamamahal kong anak 'yung bunso ko, sila ng asawa ko. Nito ngang pag-alis nila, sabi niya, 'Papa, tatawag ka sa 'kin ha. 'Pag hindi, ako tatawag sa iyo.'"

The family had been looking forward to their trip, unaware it would end in tragedy. Elmer recalled the loving and affectionate nature of his youngest child, whose presence brought warmth and joy to their home.

"Ayon ang na-miss ko sa kanya. Sasabihin, 'Love na love kita, Papa. Kahit ano'ng mangyari, hindi kita iiwan.'"

Now left with the unimaginable pain of burying his child and wife, Elmer struggles to comprehend how life will go on without them.

"Ngayon, hindi ko na alam paanong gagawin ko. Nauna pa siya sa 'kin."

The Añonuevo family’s story is one of many affected by the tragic crash. As authorities continue their investigation, families like Elmer’s are left trying to pick up the pieces, mourning lives lost too soon.

In other news, a senior citizen is currently in a coma after being violently dragged and knocked unconscious during a bag-snatching incident in Valencia City, Bukidnon. Surveillance footage shows the victim walking when a motorcycle-riding suspect suddenly grabs her bag, causing her to spin, fall, and lose consciousness. The suspect was not wearing a helmet and had only his face partially covered, providing authorities with usable CCTV footage for identification. Authorities are urging the public to assist in identifying the suspect and are asking anyone with information to contact the Valencia City Police Station.

Still in other news, the “West Philippine Sea” label has disappeared from Google Maps after being visible for a couple of weeks. Reversing recent prominence, the label's absence sparked renewed discussion. When Google Maps placed the label prominently on the platform weeks ago, the Philippine welcomed it as recognition of the country’s sovereignty in the area. No official explanation given for the fluctuating display of the contested area's name.
