Uncle Libering

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.
