He was also there to meet and gain the approval of her family members. Tragedy struck just hours after David’s introduction to her family.
Early in the morning, around 5 am, Sheila’s mother died following a horrific fall through the dilapidated staircase in their family home. Her family members woke later to find that she had passed away. Sheila is inconsolable.
David could afford a hotel but respectfully chose to stay in Sheila’s family home for the night.
And thank God he did, as it was the last night Sheila would have with her mom.

David asks Sheila and her son, Jhonreil, to stay with him at a hotel. However, she tells him she must stay with her mother’s body for 24 hours.
She explains that it is customary in the Philippines to stay with the deceased loved one’s body for 24 hours, or it is considered bad luck. According to Thomas Miller Mortuary, most Filipino end-of-life traditions are shaped by the Catholic faith. It is customary for the family to hold a wake for up to seven days in honor of their loved one.
