"Napakabait na bata na yan. Kahit anong gusto ng mga kaibigan niya, ibinibigay niya. Kahit na maubos ang baon niya, ibibigay niya, kahit maglakad na lang sa pag-uwi," the father recalled in his interview with TV Patrol.

The heartbreaking loss has left a massive void in their household. Christopher admitted that the weight of the reality is something they are struggling to navigate.

"Napakasakit po, napakasakit sobra po. Hindi ko po alam kung anong dapat kong gawin, pero napakasakit talaga po," he confessed.

While the local community and school officials have since reached out to offer aid, Christopher made it clear that financial or material support cannot replace his son. He emphasized that the top priority of their family right now is legal accountability.

"Marami pong gustong tumulong po, pero pinakagusto namin po talaga ay justice. Yun po ang gusto namin, justice," he pointed out.

Since the suspects involved in the incident are minors who may be exempted from heavy criminal sentences under current law, Christopher argued that the parents must face the legal consequences of their children's actions. He expressed that kids would not learn how to handle firearms if they weren't taught or given access by adults.
