Four Filipino siblings in Ireland found themselves orphaned after their father lost his battle against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
55-year-old Miguel Plangca who originally hailed from Ozamis City, went through 41 days at one of Ireland’s intensive care facilities before he succumbed to the disease due to complications.
He has left his four children who have relocated with him to Ireland: Mikee (21), Michael (19), John (14) and Chekie (12) whose mother had also perished from cancer six years prior.
Mikee Plangca posted a heartbreaking message for their father stating that their dad really fought for his life for them.
“You fought a good fight papa. Thank you for everything. We will miss you. We love you!,” said Mikee.
The Philippine Consulate in Dublin had also paid tribute to Miguel Plangca, stating that he will be deeply missed.
‘Miguel was a quiet but very giving man who was well loved and will be deeply missed,’ said the statement.
