- Dearick, 29, was the primary provider for his family and was supporting his siblings’ education, but was one of those who died in the fatal NAIA 1 incident, ABS-CBN noted

- The Faustino family is calling for accountability, questioning the lack of immediate medical assistance at the crash site

- Dearick was on his way to a work trip to Dubai when the fatal crash occurred—just weeks before his 30th birthday

The grieving family of Dearick Keo Faustino, one of the two victims killed in the tragic SUV crash at the NAIA Terminal 1 departure area last Sunday morning, is pleading for justice amid their loss.

But amid the sorrow, one quiet, heartbreaking presence remains by Faustino’s side—his dog, Blue, who has not left the foot of his coffin since his passing, GMA News reported.

Blue, who always slept beside Faustino in their home in Hagonoy, Bulacan, now lies faithfully next to his coffin, refusing to eat and barely moving.

“Lagi siyang kasama ni Keo, kahit sa pagtulog,” said a family member. “Ngayon, hindi siya umaalis sa tabi ng kabaong.”

Faustino, 29, was the breadwinner of his family and a senior supervisor at a publishing house.

He was set to fly to Dubai that day for meetings with Filipino schools.

At around 8 a.m., he had just been dropped off when a speeding SUV struck him as he was retrieving a pushcart, reported ABS-CBN.

“Nagkagulo na, hinanap nila yung kaibigan nila. Nakita nila nasa ilalim na ng sasakyan, nakaipit,” recalled his uncle, Fernando Nicolas, who rushed to the scene.

Adding to their pain, the family claims he was not given immediate medical aid.

“Sana nabigyan man lang kaagad ng medical help para naisakay, nadala sa ospital, baka kasi nagkaroon ng chance na mabuhay,” said Nicolas.

Faustino was supporting his siblings’ education and caring for his father. “Nawala yung pag-asa ng pamilya,” Nicolas added. “Tahimik na bata yan. Siya ang sandigan ng pamilya.”

He would have turned 30 on May 29.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In a previous report by KAMI, the Land Transportation Office has already taken action on the driver of the SUV that rammed people in NAIA Terminal 1. On their Facebook page, the agency said they put the driver's license on preventive suspension for 90 days while investigations are still ongoing. It can be recalled that the SUV suddenly accelerated, resulting in 2 casualties and a couple of people injured. An SCO has already been issued against the registered owner of the SUV and the driver involved in the tragic incident.

Additionally, the Overseas Filipino Worker, father of the 5-year-old girl victim in the NAIA Terminal 1 incident yesterday, has no longer proceeded to leave the country. In a report by GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' he and other family members went to a Pasay funeral facility where the initial processing of the deceased victims was made. The OFW father of the girl victim personally took his daughter's remains and will be bringing them to Lipa City, Batangas.
