The 52-year-old Edgar Cipriano passed away on Thursday morning due to cardiac arrest, according to a report from Philippine Entertainment Portal (Pep.ph).
“This is the saddest day of my life. Dumating ang araw na pinakakinakatakutan ko. Ang bilis, [nakakagulat pero] alam kong (The day I have been dreading has finally come. It was so fast and surprising. But I know) everything is written in heaven and [everything] is in God’s will. I will miss you Dad! I’m sure the angels will take good care of you. I’m sure you’re in a peaceful place now! At alam kong magkikita din tayo dyan one day (And I know we will see each other there one day),” an emotional Cipriano said in the caption.
“Thanks for devoting your life to our family. For living an awesome life with us and for us. Dadalhin ko lahat ng natutunan ko sayo habangbuhay! Kasama ka sa lahat ng pangarap ko (I will carry all the lessons I learned from you for as long as I live. You are included in all my dreams),” he added.
The Callalily frontman said he would miss a lot about his late father, especially the moments that the two of them shared, and vowed to take care of and look after the rest of the family.
