As i watch the News earlier this Afternoon , i cant help my self not to cry because of what happen to our Brave Soldiers. Specially one of The widow of one of the slain Special Action Force members exemplified admirable strength as the nation bestowed honors for her husband.Speaking at the necrological services for the fallen SAF policemen at Camp Bagong Diwa, Erica Pabalinas fought back tears as she remembered the last conversation with her husband Ryan.

“Should I be sad that I lost my husband or should I be proud? My husband gave his life to claim peace. He placed service [for] the people before anything else,” Pabalinas said.

She recalled that prior that fateful day, she asked her husband not to go to work anymore but he was firm in carrying out his duty.

“Naglalambing ako sa kaniya, sabi ko daddy huwag ka na lang po sumama then he replied, 'Mommy ayan ka na naman hindi mo na naman naiintidihan.' It is a firm manifestation that my husband put duty first before family,” she said.

It really breaks my Heart :(
