If you watch the PBA that much, it’s impossible that you wouldn’t know about Aling Luming, Coach Robert Jaworski’s fan since he emerged in the basketball scene. As we all know, she passed away last year. It’s her first death anniversary next month.
Before Aling Luming left us, she was confined in another clinic and laterd in a much bigger hospital, the USTH. In both instances, the former senator closely monitored how Aling Luming was. During the time that Aling Luming has to be brought to the morgue, it wont be easy for her to be released because there were unpaid hospital bills. The Big J was there to the rescue. It was then that I knew that he already shouldered the bills from the previous clinic. But all these, Jawo never mentioned to anyone.
When Aling Luming’s body was brought to Araneta Ave., Jawo still monitored how everything’s going. It’s fun how he checked on Aling Luming’s make up. Anyway, during the first night, it wasn’t known yet by the PBA people that Aling Luming passed away, so naturally, there were not much visitors yet. He sent his driver all the way from Corinthian Gardens to send money for flowers. Then he visited I think on the 2nd or 3rd day. His son Dodot came on the day I was there too.
On the day Aling Luming was to be brought to her final resting place, Jawo was still present. Again there were some problems on her release because of some billing matters. Good thing he was there.
I wouldn’t want to call it simple matter, but for me, it’s a big deal that there’s a BIG J who helps someone whom he considered as his number 1 fan. It’s not the finance department that made me bilib in Jawo’s kindness but it’s the thought. Too bad he didn’t get re-elected when he ran for the polls.
