Life is just really too short for the family and friends you have left. We may not even know what true happened to you but we let it given in the hands of our Almighty GOD. We may not see how you suffered, but we know GOD sees it. We are confident that justice will prevail. We just pray that your family and us, your friends will get that fair. As the lyrics of the song says, “WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN.” Tin, you will be always in our hearts. You, as a daughter, a sister, a seatmate in elementary, a classmate on high school, a colleague on college… but most importantly, a friend. We hope to never forget you. In behalf of your LA CONSOLACION UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES’ BSTM family batch 2009-2013, we present to you this tribute. WE WILL SINCERELY MISS YOU. WE LOVE YOU, MARY CHRISTINE ”TIN” C. BALAGTAS! May you rest beautifully in peace, our dear friend. 🙁 🙁 🙁
