LEGAZPI CITY---A former campus writer of Angelo Reyes during their high school
days admitted yesterday here that he, too, was so shocked upon learning that his
ex-editor-in-chief in their school publication "The Apprentice" committed
suicide amid his implications in anomalous high level transactions in the Armed
Forces of the Philippines.
Floreño Solmirano, who recently retired as bureau chief for Southern Luzon of
the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said that the qualities he knew of Reyes as good
friend and former campus paper editor of Ramon Magsaysay Cubao High School
hardly gave hint to the way he ended his life.
"Angie cracked good humor and very fond of singing whenever we were company. In
fact, he was a very strict and very principled man," Solmirano told The SUN.
As school paper editor, Solmirano said Reyes always wanted that their carried
stories were accurate and devoid of biases.
"He really wants to be fair to everybody," Solmirano said, adding that Reyes
also discussed extensively on how to improve the energy sector in order to
benefit the poor Filipinos as energy secretary every time he sought his
comments.
Reyes committing suicide spread like wild fire across Bicol, the region where
known former rebel soldiers led by Gregorio Honasan of Sorsogon, and Antonio
Trillanes IV of Albay, were hailed. (cet dematera)
