R.I.P Sir Brian Velasco of Razorback”

Writer Irish Christianne Dizon told her followers to stop spreading the video of his suicide. She also noted that everyone should remain compassionate.

“Please do not share Brian Velasco’s suicide video. It’s not entertainment. Someone DIED. Please do not let your need for chismis overpower your humanity.

Rest in peace, Brian.”

“Nakakalungkot yung nangyari. Every time you hear about someone taking their own lives, you always wonder, “Why? What was hurting? What could have been done?” I hope his tragic death reminds you to be more compassionate. Do not be a cruel force that pushes others to the void.”
