ILOILO City – Due to financial problems, a young man hanged himself in Barangay West Timawa, Molo district.
Geremy Abastillas, 21, of Barangay 1, Igbaras, Iloilo was found by a board mate hanging from the ceiling of his boarding house room around 7 p.m. on Saturday.
He used a blanket around his neck.
Policemen found what appeared to be two suicide notes from Abastillas’ room.
A sister confirmed Abastillas’ penmanship on the notes.
“If found me dead, please notify my parents. Thank you…” he wrote in one note.
He provided three cellphone numbers where his family can be contacted.
In the other note, he asked forgiveness from his parents for the “headaches” he caused to them and for pawning his mother’s ring.
He also listed the names of person he owed money.
“I’m sorry napatay lang ako gin binlan ko pa kamo problema…Indi ko ka-agwanta mangabuhi (I’m sorry to leave you with problems…I can’t go on living anymore),” wrote Abastillas who worked at a mall here./PN
