NAGHIHINAGPIS ang kilalang beauty queen maker na si Jonas Gaffud sa pagkamatay ng kanyang ama nitong Linggo, Abril 19, 3:09 p.m.. Hindi kasi nito nasilayan o nadalaw ang ama nang pumanaw sa The Veterans Memorial Hospital.
Base sa Instagram post ni Jonas nitong Linggo ng gabi, “My Dad died today at 3:09 PM. I would like to thank the Doctors, Nurses and staff at The Veterans Memorial Hospital, huge thanks to all the blood donors.
“We will donate those bags to the hospital. Thank you to all my friends and my co-workers who stayed with me in arranging everything. Thank you to all my talents and friends who posted and asked for blood donors. Thank you to people who do not know but saw our messages of hope and went to the hospital. We never got to see him on his deathbed.
“When I grew up, I thought I never had a good relationship with my Dad. I hated him when I was young. He was a strict military father. I thought he was a burden. But as I grew older, I learned to appreciate him, his sacrifices and he tells me all the time how much he loves me and misses me.
“Now I know he is a BLESSING. From the movie Love Wedding Repeat:
“Have you ever thought about how small the chances are, that you would be born? If just one thing in history had changed, just one of your millions of ancestors hadn’t crossed paths at the exact moment they did, then you wouldn’t exist? You’d never have even lived a single day.
“Thank you Dad for the gift of LIFE. I promise to take care of your Queen, my Mom your one and only love. Francisca Antonio Gaffud.”
Kahapon (Lunes) ng umaga ay muling nag-post si Jonas tungkol sa naging trabaho ng ama bukod sa pagiging retiradong sundalo.
“He was a soldier. He was a farmer. He served his family, he served his country. In this time of pandemic, there is no 21-gun salute for a Retired Soldier. But if he were younger, he would have been a Frontliner. I know, that my salute is the best gift I can honor him with.
“I was hesitant to go to the hospital because of Covid-19. But in this time of chaos and loss, there is nothing braver than to bury a loved one. I love you forever Dad. #dancewithmyfatheragain #family #love.”

Nahulog sa kanal dahil sa sobrang proteksiyon
Bandang tanghali ay muling nag-post si Jonas ng kanyang litratong naka-PPE outfit sa pagpunta sa VMMH na dahil sa sobrang proteksiyon ay hindi niya nakita ang dinaanan kaya nahulog siya sa kanal.
“On a lighter note, that’s me. My first time to go out since March 18. I was so paranoid. I had to wear so much protection and shades. While walking outside the hospital, suddenly I can’t see because of the protection gear. I was talking, and then nahulog ako sa canal. Look at my right shoe. Ha ha ha ha ha,” caption ni Jonas sa kanyang litrato.
