Labis na ipinagluluksa ng singer na si Bugoy Drilon ang pagpanaw ng kanyang matalik na kaibigang singer din na si Hansen Nichols.
Si Bugoy at Hansen—or Sen—ay magka-batch sa Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2, ang singing-reality show ng ABS-CBN noong 2008.
Sa kanyang Instagram kahapon, January 12, 2024, ibinahagi ni Bugoy ang ilang larawan at videos na kasama niya si Sen sa ilang huling araw nito sa mundo.
Kasabay nito ang isang mahabang mensahe patungkol sa kanilang pagkakaibigan.
Panimula ni Bugoy (published as is), “Hansen,
“My core friend , my brother. I love you so much and i am so blessed to have you in my life. You are such a beautiful soul!
Our bond is one of a kind – so special and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
“I promise you that I will always be there by your side. You always understand me you always think of people first more than yourself that everyone is always okay.
“You always believed in me. You always believed that I will make it in the journey and career that I choose and that I always do my best.”
Si Sen ay cancer survivor na noong sumali siya ng PDA. Napagtagumpayan niyang labanan ang thyroid cancer pero dinapuan muli siya ng cancer nitong nakaraang taon.
Makikita sa videos ni Sen na talagang pilit niyang nilalabanan ang kanyang karamdaman.
Dagdag pa ni Bugoy, “You fought very well and your hardest and I am so proud of you!!! You did your best to stay with us. You are a great warrior!
“I miss you so much I miss your laugh, hugs and your wisdom! You are truly an inspiration.
“I am happy that you are surrounded by love, up to your last breath. I am very proud of you and all your achievements. You have touched the lives of so many people including mine. And this is a testament of how beautiful you are as a person.
“We will still conquer the world. I cannot wait for the people to hear the songs I made for you because I cannot wait to tell the world how beautiful you are and how much I love you.
“This is not a goodbye because I will see you again in Heaven. You are always in my prayers and I will always think of you through all the memories we’ve shared.
“Until then, I will miss you so much. My heart is pleased knowing that you are surrounded by love until your last breath.
