A few weeks ago, I arrived in the Polo Club parking lot and I saw Cynthia from afar and Uncle Libering in his wheelchair. I walked towards them to find out that Uncle Libering was very pale…little did I know that that would be the last time I would see him.
Everyone I talk to remembers Uncle Libering as a very cheerful person just like his brother who is my father in law. He was our “Ninong” in our wedding 14 years ago. I remember very well when he visited me in the hospital when I gave birth to our first son. He brought me some pastries, I think ensaymada. I was so touched.
Uncle Libering is such a simple person and I admire him for that.
His shirts are all from Brooks Brothers….. so I guess Daddy Monching was trying to convert him to a Lacoste guy because every Christmas and birthday, we help Dad get his gift for Uncle Libering. Here is a photo taken during Uncle Libering’s birthday this year – the two brothers in Lacoste 🙂
He goes to Polo Club everyday to go to the gym where I see him regularly
Heart2Heart pays tribute to Uncle Libering! A good husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and businessman.
Since he lives in Malabon, we celebrated mass at this beautiful church in Malabon….
While in the church, I overheard two women chatting and saying that Uncle Libering visited his wife, Aunty Choleng ( who passed away 5 years ago ) everyday and gave her flowers!!! WOW!!!!! I only found that out a few weeks ago! And that was what Cynthia said in her eulogy that her Dad was a loyal and faithful husband…….even till his last day.

My sincerest condolences to the De Jesus family.
Hi Tita Rica!
Thank you for posting the pictures! I like the one with Lolo sitting next to Lolo Monching in uniform. >:3
So sorry to hear about your Uncle’s death. I would just like to share with you that my trainer in Polo Club (Marlon) told me that your uncle would leave a banana everyday on top of his locker for the last 5 years! My trainer was so sad when he heard about your uncle and I am sure many are too since he was such a good man.
