Amidst the approaching Christmas season, the sadness and loss of a loved one become more profound. Mrs. Camilon is currently facing a profound sense of longing that she herself cannot bear. In a heartfelt post on her Facebook account, she reposted a video containing inspirational words: “Darating na ang Pasko. Kung may hihilingin man ako sa Diyos araw-araw, ‘yun ay bigyan pa ako ng tapang at lakas upang harapin lahat ng pagsubok sa aking buhay at ingatan ang mga mahal ko sa buhay.”
Alongside this, she wrote about her dream that only Catherine and their entire family would be complete this Christmas. “Tanging ikaw, anak, at ang ating buong pamilya ang lagi kong hihilingin na mabuo, lalo ngayong malapit na ang Pasko,” she wrote. “Sana makasama ka namin, anak. Miss na miss ka na namin.”
This post underscores a mother’s dream of being with her missing child during the national celebration. The words convey both longing and hope that despite everything, the family will be reunited for a joyful Christmas celebration.
On October 13, Catherine’s sister Chin-Chin made a Facebook post seeking help from Catherine’s colleagues who were with her the night she went missing. According to Chin-Chin, Catherine called at eight in the evening on October 12, but her phone lost signal the next morning.
Catherine was last seen at a shopping mall in Lemery a few hours before she went missing. However, in her last conversation with her mother, she mentioned being at a gasoline station in Bauan.
These events have caused anxiety in the hearts of Catherine’s family and friends. Christmas, where her mother expresses hope, has become a time of waiting and anticipation in their hearts. Hopefully, despite everything, Catherine will be found, and the love of the family will triumph once again this Christmas.
