Traffic Rerouting for Burial of INC Executive Minister Ka Erdy Manalo, Sept 7 2009 — With Map of Commonwealth Ave Near INC Central Temple Area

7 September 2009

Today, the nation joins the Iglesia Ni Cristo brethren around the world as they bring the body of Brother Eraño G. Manalo, also known as Ka Erdy to millions of INC faithful, to his earthly resting place inside the Central Temple complex.

GMA News has published the following traffic rerouting advisory, portions of which I quote below:

Fernando said the road stretching from Visayas Avenue to Commonwealth Avenue in Central Avenue has been closed to vehicular traffic since 12 midnight on Saturday and would remain closed until Monday. The stretch from Luzon Avenue to Elliptical Avenue would likewise be closed. 

Parts of Tandang Sora stretching from Visayas Avenue to Commonwealth will likewise be closed as well as the stretch extending from Commonwealth to Capitol drive. The east bound side of Commonwealth Avenue will also be closed to motorists.

Motorists are advised to take alternate routes surrounding the INC palace such as the Sauyo Road-Mindanao Avenue route in Dahlia as well as the San Mateo Bridge-Marikina road in Batasan. 

Those passing in Libis can take the C5-Katipunan road while motorists can also take the Quirino Avenue-Novaliches road. Fernando said another alternate road is the C5-Katipunan-Tandang Sora-Zuzuaregui-Commonwealth road.

Funeral of Brother Eraño "Ka Erdy" Manalo Set at Noon of Monday, September 7 — Malacañang Declares Sept 7 A Non-Working Holiday

4 September 2009

Brother Eraño G. Manalo, also known as Ka Erdy to millions of INC faithful, will be laid to rest at noon Monday, September 7 at the Tabernacle near the Central Temple of the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Complex. Eventually, his remains will be transferred to a mausoleum now under construction inside the complex.

Straight from the Net 25 website is this press release from INC spokesperson Bro. Bienvenido Santiago:

Malacañang has declared the day of Ka Erdy's funeral on September 7, 2009, Monday as a special non-working holiday to give INC members and other mourners across the country the opportunity to pay their respects to the great Iglesia Ni Cristo leader. I saw that report being made by an ABS-CBN female reporter in tonight's edition of TV Patrol.  That means no classes in school and no work for employees and workers on Monday.

Ruby Rose Barrameda Laid to Rest Without Reuniting with Her Daughters — After the Grieving Begins the All-Out Quest for Justice for Ruby Rose

17 June 2009

A grieving Barrameda family joined by hundreds of relatives, friends and a commiserating public gave Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez a final farewell as the slain young mother of two was laid to rest at the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City.

Ruby Rose was buried without the reunion wished for by her family with her two daughters. Her older daughter, Marga Ysabel, preferred not to visit her mother's wake even after she was interviewed by Steve Dailisan of GMA News.  

This is the bittersweet farewell to Ruby Rose as told in this report by Jun Veneracion courtesy of GMANews.tv:

After the grieving, the all-out quest for justice by the Barrameda family with the entire Filipino people behind them will begin in earnest.  Manuel Montero filed today a supplemental affidavit with the Department of Justice to buttress his earlier testimony against the other persons he earlier identified as responsible for the exceptionally brutal crime.

Steve Dailisan of GMA 7 Talked with Ruby Rose's Older Daughter Marga Ysabel But Still She Wouldn't Visit Her Mother's Wake

17 June 2009

Steve Dailisan of GMA 7 had an exclusive one-on-one with the older daughter of Ruby Rose Barrameda but in the end, she still would not go to her mother's wake.  

According to Steve Dailisan, "Para raw hindi na mabahiran ng anumang pagdududa, kusang ipinakita ni Manuel Jimenez III ang kanilang dalawang anak nila ni Ruby Rose.  Nauna na kasing ipinaabot ng mga Jimenez ang umano'y desisyon ng kanilang panganay na hindi na dumalo sa burol ng ina 

Nakausap namin ang bata, siyam na taon lang gulang lang siya pero animo'y may isip na kung magsalita.  Kwento niya sa amin, gusto daw niya ng tahimik na buhay. Mas gusto rin daw niyang pagtuunan ng pansin ang kanyang pag-aaral ngayon. Pero aminado rin siyang nami-miss niya paminsan-minsan ang ina. Gayunman masaya raw siya sa piling ng kanyang ama na siyang nag-aalaga sa kanila. Umapela rin ang bata na sana huwag na silang mapagpiyestahan ng media. Sabi ng ama ng mga bata, iniiwan niya nang buong-buo ang pagpapasya sa mga bata."

This is the Saksi report filed by Steve Dailisan:

It now appears that Ruby Rose Barrameda will be laid to rest without being reunited with her two young daughters.  But Ruby Rose's vindication will come and her reunion with her children will happen — all in God's perfect time.

In the meantime, the entire Filipino nation will have to pursue one overriding concern — Justice for Ruby Rose Barrameda and her children!
