OPINION | Diay de Vega: Skillful athlete with character [Earning Our Tomorrow By Philip Ella Juico] READ:
Diay’s interment was to be followed by a two-day wake at the St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church, one of the oldest parishes in Bulacan. As expected, thousands of mourners have visited the wake to say goodbye to one of the town’s favorite daughters and hometown heroes.
Sometime in July-August 2021, as the country geared for the presidential elections on May 9, 2022, we asked Diay if she would do a short video urging Filipinos, especially the youth, to “go out and register in order to vote” in the forthcoming elections. Diay asked for a few days to think about it.
I vividly recall that precise moment when I condoled with Diay who was at a loss in understanding why her son had such a short life. I sensed that she regretted that she was not able to do enough to “prevent” the accident from happening.
