It's been a year

One year has passed since F died. I still can't help but think of how horrible November 7 was for all of us. It was November 8, when I woke up to the horrible news that FX was killed.

Today, I still remember the pain and the anguish that we all felt when he was killed. The truth still remains, F was murdered by cold-blooded killers! Worse, is that these men are supposed to protect the innocent, but instead they executed a kind, sweet, loving person such as F.

It's been over a year since he died, but the memories he left behind are still fresh, because FX was really a good person. He was a good friend to many and even to others who hardly knew him he was kind to them.

Your life may have been short, but it will always be a part of many lives that you have touched.

F, wherever you are right now, I pray that you are happy and you are with our saviour, Jesus Christ. For Christ is the light and you will live eternally in the light and no longer in darkness.

Missing you a lot, my friend! May you be with the Lord, and your Father and Mother.

Thanks be to GOD!!!

First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for answering our prayers! Praise be to God! Finally, we have received the most welcoming news about the CHR Investigation for the Nov. 7 killings of FX Manzano, Anthony Cu-Unjieng and Brian Dulay.

When FX died, we all felt a great loss. He is remembered much for his kindness and sweet nature. I feel much sadness and anger by the way he was taken away from all of us. God knows just how much he wanted to live his life.

When FX and I were talking more than a couple of years ago and He told me just how much he feared guns. I still tremble when I remember his words to me saying - Marie, I am so afraid of being shot in the back. Thats my worst fear.

I cried and I cried and I cried when I was told the morning of Nov. 8. 2006 that FX was gone. Whats worse is learning from his family that he was shot multiple times. This when he was crouched in the backseat of the car - trying to shield himself from the gunshots coming from outside the car. Whats worse is watching the video in ABS-CBN from UNTV's video of the killings. I shook uncontrollably after seeing FX body jerking from behind when that murderer shot him twice! Can you just imagine how I felt too? After, 2 years from the conversation we had, when he told me that his worst fear was to be shot!

It is like he had a premonition or something, It's just terrible!

Almost, 7 months from the death of FX and I can still feel the pain I felt that day I learned of his death and the nights I stayed in his wake in Christ the King in Greenmeadows .

Although, we must move on and FX would like for everyone to remember him for his life and not for his death.

This I try and I believe that what happened to him will continue to change me as a person and I pray that what happened will bring out the better side of people and his life would still make a difference even now that he's gone.

I am very happy about the outcome of the CHR investigation and this is God's way of putting the evil men in their places. May Justice be served and May this men reap all the evil they had sowed in their lives!

AMEN to this truly!!!

From ABS-CBN News Desk:

CHR RECOMMENDS MURDER RAPS VS 10 TMG MEN

"The Commission on Human (CHR) rights Monday recommended the filing of murder charges against 10 members of the Traffic Management Group who were involved in the alleged "overkill" of three carjacking suspects on Nov. 7, 2005 in Ortigas Center, Pasig.CHR said its findings against Senior Inspectors Henry Cerdon, Hansel Marantan, Samson Belmonte; Police Officers 3 Lloyd Soria and Rizalito Ramos; Police Officers 2 Jesus Fermin, Sonny Robrigado and Dexter Bernadas; and Police Officers 1 Fernando Gapuz and Josel Rey Lucena will be submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman this week.The 10 officers, who are members of Task Force Limbas, have been placed under administrative relief since last year owing to a video footage showing a member of the team firing a gun at the bodies of the slain suspects.

"May God work in this case and that He will give this men whats due them."

Thank you God for answering our prayers and May you give FX's family peace and happiness.

Wherever you are F, I will always remember the great person that you are and you would be greatly missed by all of us! I know that you are with the Lord now and I know that you are already happy where you are - with your Mom and Dad.

My prayers that this men will be found guilty by the court for multiple-murder charges and that justice will be served;

Please continue to pray for justice for FX Manzano.

Missing FX

What happened to the investigation? Why is the media not doing anything to help resolve this case? I really miss FX and wish that he is still alive.

Sana magising na yung mga gumawa nito sa kanya. Patayin sana sila nang konsensya nila!

Im really sad that its been 6 months and still nothing! Everytime I pass by Garnet road, all the sad memories of what happened to my friend flashes back.

Alam niyo yun Mcdo sa may Emerald? its weird to go there knowing that that was the last place he went to before he was killed. Para bang last meal before an execution?!

Im just pissed and sad that nothing is happening yet. I thought there was something coming out today in the news but I havent heard anything yet.

I hope something comes out na!

Remembering FX Manzano

Today would be FX's 5th month death anniversary.

I still feel sad about his death. It's been hard for a lot of people, and we continue to mourn his death. Today, I just happen to open up my blog for him 2 weeks after his death. It brought back a lot of the pain I felt when he died. I cannot imagine just how painful it still is for his family. We hope and pray that they would get the justice that FX deserves.

I don't know personally anymore what the updates are on the investigation, but I still stand with my belief that FX Manzano is an innocent man. All of our friends from Pasig believes this, and we are still very much affected by what happened. I for one, totally had a different outlook in life after his death. It made me think of how precious life is and that we can be easily robbed of it.

I know that God has his ways and He has a purpose in everyone's life.

Fx may be gone now, but his memory lives in all those people he has touched and made friends with. Most especially, it lives in his family's hearts and minds. He was a good person. A very kind one in fact. I still smile when I remember the good times we've had together. I believe that with the help of a lot of people who loved him, this clears him from the false accusations held against him by the TMG. The CHR even proved his innocence. I pray that the TMG will be held accountable for what they did to FX.

To his family, I continue to pray for you. God will see justice will be served and that FX name will be cleared in His time.
