THE mother of the security guard killed in Friday’s strafing of Wellington Lim’s vehicle at the parking area of Infinity Bar and KTV Music Lounge is appealing for assistance for her son’s daughters and called for justice for her son’s death.
Celia Suico, 63, mother of Security Guard Wilson Bucag said the security agency has agreed to shoulder the burial expenses but the family needed financial assistance for Buca’s teenaged daughters from his common-law wife.
The daughters are cared for by their mother.
“Unta muhatag pud unta na si Wellington Lim ug assistance kay lantawa ang akong anak, napatay intawon, sir, (I hope that Wellington Lim would also give us assistance because look at our son … he is dead, sir)” a distraught Suico said.
In a separate phone interview, Jun Fuentes, the Lim Family spokesperson, said that they would give financial help to the Bucag family.
“We are working on it (assistance to the family). Financial help I guess. We are waiting for the family so that we can coordinate with them on how to go about it,” Fuentes said.
An emotional and grieving Suico said that she remembered going to Metro Manila to work so that she could raise Bucag when he was still a child.
She said she had to leave Bucag with her mother then.
Suico also said that since separating from his common law wife, Bucag had been living with her and his grandmother in their ancestral house.
She said that her son was a good person.
Wilson Bucag is scheduled to be buried on April 2. /With Reporter Nestle L. Semilla
