ONLY 24…
The first time i laid eyes on Dan was at a Jaycee function, it was the same day that i was inducted as a baby jaycee. I remember i couldn’t take my eyes off Dan, he looked so gwapo in a polo and jacket (unlike the other guests who were in barong.) Dan stood out not only because he was underdress but he stood out coz despite the unlikely fashion, he wore the best bling bling that day…he had the sweetest smile that could give even give a woman wearing dentures a toothache.
Im not very fond of watching the news coz it depresses me, but when Dan is the one reporting, i take time watching what its all about. That time i didn’t know that he was a reporter so imagine my happiness when i saw him one morning reporting for a crime scene. i thought that would be enough. then…. today, while watching Star talk, Butch Francisco announced that Dan Campilan passed away due to a car accident that happen on his way back from a report. overwhelmed with the news that i just heard, i feel numb. im sad but not cyring, numb but full of emotions. a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
DAN CAMPILAN (GMA7 news reporter/ Ortigas Jaycees member) October 7, 2006. Rest in peace. He was 24 years old.
He will be missed.
