What happened to Jenny…

IT’S CONFIRMED. Jenny has really passed away. Like everyone else, i wanted to find out what really happened. So here goes…

Jenny lives here in Las Pinas near Saint Francis and our house. Sad to say, her wake is in Bacoor where her family lives. 

Nobody knows Jenny’s real name and finding their address would be like a finding a needle in a haystack.

According to her neighbors who were talking about her, she was confined in PGH on Thursday due to a lot of reasons. Jenny had diabetes, high blood pressure and other ailments that i’m not sure of. The neighbors added that she would always eat food that’s not so good for her health. She died on Friday, the same day the news broke out.

The neighbors added that Jenny’s family was not poor at all. She had siblings in Japan and the US. She was here in LPC away from them because she was living in with someone before but they said that the guy eventually left. Ever since, Jenny has been going to taft from Las Pinas almost everyday for years now.

I’m sure a lot of students and teachers will miss one of the icons of taft. Let’s all pray for Jenny’s soul. :( Rest In Peace Jenny..

 “Jenny” is an icon in DLSU and CSB. He is probably heaps more popular to students than any prof in lasalle. It’s always a mystery how he always has insider infos on school events like exam dates, school holidays, and enrollment dates (mas una nya pa alam kaysa sa students). Unlike most beggars, Jenny is well-trusted by students. For 5 pesos, he will help you cross the street with a big umbrella on hand during rainy days, he will line-up at mcdo taft to buy your food for you, etc. Sayang froshies can no longer know this one of a kind icon in Taft. (gotten from Facebook) —- You might see him as someone who everyone would despise, but trust me, he’s a bigger person than you think he is. I only got to experience Jenny’s presence once in my whole stay in Taft. A big factor is because starting in my second year, I was already staying in the SDA building. Back in first year, we were still attending classes on the Main campus of CSB. Me and my blockmates went to Red Ribbon to eat. We were all so engrossed at ordering food because the line was really long. Then enters Jenny and does his daily routine of asking for a peso from everyone. She would always say “Pogi/Ganda, pengeng piso”, and then when you give her one, she tells you random news from current events happening in or out of Lasalle and Benilde. It’s amazing to see that she knows important dates of both Lasalle and CSB, from pre-enrollment schedules to finals, even before students would know them. It’s sad to see him pass away. I got to experience him only once. That one experience would forever stay as a memory. —-
