MESSAGE FROM BING DAVAO'S NEPHEW
Nagbigay pugay ang isa pang pamangkin ni Bing na si Nicolo sa pamamagitan ng pag-post sa Facebook.
"With heavy hearts, we remember and honor the life of Bing Davao — a man of quiet strength, immense talent, and lasting impact," bungad ni Nicolo.
"Bing had a well-respected presence in Philippine film and television, particularly during the 1990s, and continued to share his passion for the craft until opportunity was in front of him.
"Through every role, he brought sincerity, depth, and professionalism that earned him the admiration of peers and audiences alike.
"He carried forward the legacy of his family, the late Charlie Davao, the late Ricky Davao, Mymy Davao, and Charlon Davao.
"Icons of the industry, while firmly establishing his own place through years of dedicated work.
"Today, we find comfort in knowing he is with his father and brother again."
Samantala, labis na ikinalungkot ng partner ni Ricky na si Mayeth Malca ang biglaang pagpanaw ni Bing.
“We were still talking at 3:55 am earlier. Sabi ko I’d just attend my 4:00–5:00 am meeting and call you again after," saad ni Mayeth sa kanyang Facebook post.
"I never imagined that your ‘I love you, sis ko’ would be the last words I’d hear from you.
"I don’t know what to say or how to react after knowing what happened to you. I still can’t believe it. I really can’t and I don’t want to."
Nagluluksa pa rin si Mayeth sa pagpanaw ni Ricky nung Mayo kaya masakit para sa kanya ang pagkawala ng kapatid ng dating kinakasama.
"Kuya Bing, you were one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met," sambit ni Mayeth.
"Thank you for being so good to me, for appreciating me and for accepting me as your ‘sis.’ That meant more to me than you know."
A PRACTICING MUSLIM
Nagpa-convert bilang Muslim si Bing dalawang dekada na ang nakakaraan.
Kasunod ng kanyang pagpanaw ay agad na inilibing ang labi ni Bing alinsunod sa tradisyon at paniniwala sa Islam.
