The teenage girl from Nueva Ecija has been shot dead by anti-drug vigilantes’ operating in the province.
Sunshine was young and innocent but full of hopes and promises in life.
She honestly trusted that Davao City Mayor Digong Duterte, once elected as 16th President, would make a difference in her troubled town and in this country.
The May 13, 2016 simultaneous local and presidential elections introduced her to the dirty world of politics being a first-time voter. She had just turned 18.
But she never had a premonition that two bullets would snap her precious life in split seconds about 3:30 in the afternoon on Thursday, June 9.
Three unidentified motorcycle-riding gunmen suspected to be communist terrorists brutally killed her and her uncle, Enrique Mendiola a.k.a., 39 years old and Barangay Tanod Chief of Barangay Mangga Cacutud, Arayat, Pampanga last Thursday, June 9 while going home to Campo Venzon in Barangay Mangga Cacutud.
Sunshine hitched ride on the tricycle driven by her uncle who was coming from a hearing at the Arayat Municipal Trial Court. While the tricycle was travelling along OG Road at the vicinity of Barangay Plazang Luma in Arayat, the motorcycle boarded by the three gunmen came close and without warning fired at them, hitting Sunshine in the face and armpit. Both victims died on the spot.
Apparently seasoned gunmen, the killers quickly but calmly fled the scene as if nothing happened.
In her facebook post, Ivory said:
“Nung una hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari sayo. Nagagalit pa nga ako sa nagsabi eh. Kasi parang nanggagago, eh nakita pa kita nung umaga. Masayang masaya ka. Ang ganda ganda mo pa non.
Nakangiti ka pa ng nakangiti. Kaya hindi ako naniniwala. Kahit nakita ko yung wall mo na puro may r.i.p hindi pa din ako nakumbinsi. Gang sa nagpunta kami senyo, nakita kitang nakahiga sa casket. Hindi ko kinaya. Hindi ka dapat nandyan.
You are not just a cousin, you’ve been a great sister, a great daughter, a family to everyone you left behind. You still have a dream to achieve, for your family and for yourself.. if only you’re still here. We love you Shine.
Thank you for being a great sister. May you rest in peace. We will all be praying for you.
PS: Kung papatay kayo ng mga adik o ano pa mang may kasalan siguraduhin mong\nyong sa taong mismong papatayin nyo tatama yung bala. Para walang nadadamay na inosenteng tao.”
