13-year-old honor pupil hangs self

[HanzoHattori]

CEBU CITY -- Frustration that sprang from the absence of parental love and unfulfilled promises could have driven a grade six pupil to kill himself in Barili town Wednesday afternoon.
Ramzel Halos, 13, was an A-list pupil and was likely to graduate valedictorian of his class in March next year.
But that would not be so.

Halos was found hanging from a mango tree growing outside his classroom at the Maghanoy Elementary School.
His death marred the celebration of Teachers Day in his school and his brother’s birthday. The boy was rushed to the Barili District Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. Barili Police Station Chief Marlon Gumabao told Sun.Star Cebu that there was no foul play in the boy’s death. There were no signs the boy struggled that would have indicated he was attacked.

“We only saw strangulation marks on his neck. He died because of suffocation. Mas madaling mamatay sa maliliit na tali (One easily gets strangled on fine ropes),” Gumabao said. Before the incident at 3:30 p.m., Halos was seen being in high spirits and dancing in the school program. He had made the teachers a Happy Teachers Day poster, which they displayed at the faculty lounge. He helped the teachers clean the dishes after lunch. The teachers went to Simala in Sibonga town after the school program ended at 3 p.m. The teachers were shocked upon learning that Halos had just hanged himself. Grade one teacher Vivelyn Balucos said she had heard Halos telling his classmates that he was going to kill himself that day. Balucos dismissed reports that Halos killed himself when his grandmother did not buy him a Boy Scout uniform. “That was foolish. There were more serious problems he faced,” Balucos said in Cebuano. Balucos, also the school’s guidance counselor, said Halos would confide to her his problems at home. “He felt neglected, unloved and uncared for,” she said.

The boy longed for his parents to be with him and his siblings. She said Halos had given her a card that expressed his wish for her to be his real mother. Balucos had been looking after him and would buy him clothes. “He was definitely looking for maternal love,” she said. In a separate interview, Esmeralda Halos, 41, blamed herself for the death of her son. “Sorry kaayo, dong, kung wala ko makaduaw ninyo pirmi. Nangita man gud og kwarta si Mama (I’m sorry I wasn’t able to visit regularly. I am trying to earn a living),” she said. Halos was the third of seven children. He was born out of wedlock and his father was his mother’s second husband. His parents are separated. The family used to live in Punta Princesa, Cebu City. When he was seven, he was left in the care of his grandmother in Barangay Maghanoy in Barili town. He saw his mother only during vacations.
Esmeralda said the boy wanted to be with her always. She had made promises to him that she could not keep because she did not have money.

Halos’s grandmother Isabel, 61, said her grandson’s wish for his family to be united was fulfilled upon his death. The wake was held in an aunt’s house. The boy will be buried tomorrow at the town cemetery. Halos’s death was the third suicide in the family. An uncle killed himself at age 27 in 2000, and a 17-year-old cousin hanged himself in 2008. Esmeralda said her son wanted to be an engineer. He built a mini replica of their house and told his mother that with the house, they were now going to sleep soundly and without fear of getting wet when rain came. (Sun.Star Cebu)

Lack of love can lead to feelings of hopelessness, that nothing means anything anymore, that there is not such thing as moving on...but then you won't understand until you've tried it.

...her grandson’s wish for his family to be united was fulfilled upon his death.

fulfilled? haha. seriously? the child have died nga ala siya kahibaw ana.

too late, bitch. maglagot jd ko anang basta mamatay na ang taw diha pa manggawas ang mga maayng butang. mubutho ang mga char2 sa kalibutan, mahay2 nga wa diri wa didto.

they should've NOT promised something on him kung dili man d.i katuman. they're giving false hope on the child. they should've made him understood nga galisud sila'g kwarta, in that way masabtan sad sa bata somehow. and at least unta maaware siya sa realidad nga ing-ana sila.
