Gilbert Tan or Sir G is one of my genuine mentors in writing/blogging when I was still a newbie in the online community. He gave me writing and life advises, and he never forgot to give me books that were helpful for my writing career. His contributions in campus journalism and literary community in the region made a significant impact to many students, teachers, writers, among others. Yesterday, he passed away due to a fatal heart attack. As of the moment, it does not sink in yet in my mind that he is gone. I'm still thinking about my last comment on his post about the December 15 earthquake. I said to him that I would visit him to check if he's ok and I would read some books in his library. 😢 I love you and thank you Sir G! 👍 Surely, you will be missed. (This photo was taken on February 3, 2016 at the GenSan Library. That time, he conducted one-on-one free NSPC Coaching on Campus Journalism for elementary and high school students.) #RestInPeace #WritingLife #stories #campusjournalism #SOXWriters https://www.instagram.com/p/B6XHkA2nwKo/?igshid=ubqadkv949ib
