COTABATO CITY — The daughter of a Maguin-danao massacre victim received the news of Andal Ampatuan Sr.’s demise with mixed feelings.
Maria Reynafe Momay-Castillo, daughter of photojournalist Reynaldo Momay, said she could hardly understand her feelings.
Reynafe’s father, Reynal-do Momay of the Midland Review newspaper, was one of the 32 media workers who comprised half of the 58 victims of what was described as the worst electionelated killing in the country.
“I don’t want to say I am happy he died but justice has not been served,” Momay-Castillo, said in a phone interview.
“But I have forgiven him already. How I wished he sought forgiveness for the sins he committed,” Mo-may-Castillo said of Andal Sr. who was the alleged mastermind of the 2009 Maguindanao massacre.
Momay-Castillo’s father, photojournalist Reynaldo Momay was the 58th massacre victim. His remains had not been recovered but his false denture was retrieved at the massacre site by PNP scene of the crime operatives.
“I will continue to hope that the remains of my father will be recovered so we can give him decent burial,” Momay-Castillo said.
She was on a short vacation in Gen. Santos City after her mother, Femy, died on June 16. She returned to the U.S. today. (PNA)
