Why have all those young men gone?
Last week I received a message from JM also a former classmate stating to pray for the soul of PO1 Joel Tabula because he’s been gone.
My heart beats fast upon reading the message, almost couldn't believe it if JM was only playing joke on me. But other side of my mind contradicts the other. I know him; he will never play things like that. I replied immediately asking what happened but I got no response until now. So I hurriedly went over to Google and there it was I found the answer.
Joel was found dead in his room when his gun fired accidentally. He failed to unload the last bullet of his 9mm service pistol before cleaning it. A rumor comes out when I communicated with another friend back home. JM might have a reason why my question stayed unanswered. Whatever the truth is, may Joel finds his final rest and may his soul go in peace.
Joel Tabula was a college classmate and has been a good one. He shares his ideas in Math. When we talked with him he never loses the friendly smile. Even without a word if happens that he passes you by still he wears the smile. I find him as jolly, responsible and intelligent guy. He entered PNP after passing the Board.
BSCE-UNP Batch 2004 conveys its utmost condolences to the family he left behind. Our batch felt sad of his early death, at 24 too young to die. He’s a year younger than us.

hi,
This is really sad! Too young to die but.... On February 14 of the current year, we were shocked to hear that our former school registrar and her husband were hit by a bus after bringing their two kids to school (12 and 6 yr old). Their car was totally wrecked. They are committed servants of God.
Our lives can end in a split seconds. Let us make sure we live the best God has designed for us. In the end, when we face the Father, we will not say, "I wish I...."
God bless you!
Hi,
Sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family and to you as well. Accidents like this can happen and its really sad especially if people haven't fully lived their lives yet.
Take care pala.
Condolence. These kinds of accidents will happen but can be prevented by not playing with a gun, loaded or unloaded. Cheers to you.....

Yes life is precious and uncertain.
Condolence too to the family of the former registrar and husband..
May the good Lord keep us all safe.
