With these words he posted on his Facebook account yesterday, Isabel Granada’s ex-husband, city councilor Jericho Genaskey Aguas bowed to the fate of the movie actress who died at about 11 p.m. (Philippine time) last Saturday in Qatar.
This city seemed to have been kept awake by news that Granada had died after a bout with aneurysm that put her in coma for days, as Facebook messages of sympathy fl owed from friends, fans and political supporters of her husband for whom she had campaigned for councilor for three successive terms.
From midnight after her death was known to the wee hours of the following day, Facebook churned out the messages expressing condolences to Granada’s family and for the sad news to be known by all who had known her in this city.
Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan posted on Facebook news about Granada’s death, saying “she will forever be in our heart and mind here in Angeles City.”
“On behalf of all of us in the city government whom you helped win two consecutive victories, thank you so much. To councilor Jericho Aguas and son Hubert, our sincerest sympathy and condolences,” Pamintuan also said.
Aguas addressed Granada in his Facebook account, saying: “Malaki ang naging parte mo sa aking buhay… Binigyan mo ako ng isang gwapo’t matalinong anak, makulay ang 14 yrs nating pagsasama… Sa lahat… mula sa aking puso’t kaluluwa… maraming maraming salamat.”
Former Angeles Vice Mayor Vicky Vega, a close friend of Granada, also addressed her on Facebook, saying: “Mareng Isabel Granada, thank you for the handshakes… the songs… the time you so unselfi shly shared with us. Rest in peace.”
