A call center agent died after he jumped off the 12 floor of the IT-2 Building in Cebu I.T. Park at around 11:00 Friday night, police authorities said.
The victim, Ernie Antigua, Jr., was allegedly having problems with his relationship, and had recently broken up with his girlfriend.
Prior to the incident, Antigua, who was from Mandaue City, posted a message for his family and friends on his Facebook account.
Part of his Facebook status read:
“…Gibuwagan ko nia for no reason and I just find out nga naa diay cia lain guy named (Name withheld) of what so ever company … well to all my friends and family thank you for all the support and guidance. I’m sorry if I fail you guys for just a girl (name withheld).”
One of the comments posted by Antigua himself on his status read:
“I have a letter on my back pocket and whoever gets it pls. share it on Facebook thank you and I love you.”
The status was posted minutes before he fell to his death.
Meanwhile the family of the suicide victim has requested the police investigators not to release a copy of Antigua’s six-page letter to the media because the contents involved personal matters.
The original letter is with the family, who gave a photocopy to police authorities.
According to SPO4 Rey Cullos of the Homicide Section of the Cebu City Police Office, they are already investigating the letter left by Antigua.--Source: ABS-CBN News
