A FORMER resident and ex-student of Sacred Heart School Bahrain reportedly took her life in the Philippines yesterday.
According to sources, Filipino Mary Jane Limjoco, aged 20, jumped off her condominium in Manila.
An architecture student at the Far Eastern University, Manila, Ms Limjoco, left her last post on Facebook – “remember me with a smile…” – at around 1pm on Tuesday.
“All we know is she jumped off her condominium in Manila, reasons for which remain unknown,” sources in Bahrain told the GDN.
“Her parents are in Bahrain and she was here with them for the New Year and had gone back to university last week.
“She graduated from the Sacred Heart School in 2015 and was studying at the Far Eastern University, Manila.
“The family has travelled to the Philippines,”
Ms Limjoco is the second of three daughters of Alex Limjoco, who works for Bapco, and his wife Mercy.
Reports on social media said Ms Limjoco had broken up with her boyfriend recently.
Minutes before the death plunge, she had posted a picture titled “I chose to do this” on her Instagram page.
“Thank you to everyone who was there for me. This isn’t his fault; it’s all mine,” she wrote against the background of the cityscape from the point where she allegedly jumped.
“Hi Don, I win the bet. Trust me, I love you a lot and you’re really my last. I told you, you were my only reason to live. I have no reason now, I am setting you free … but I will always love you. I hope this helps you heal. You will never see me again.”
Friends and family members responded to Ms Limjoco’s death on social media yesterday.
“It’s really hard and painful right now but yes, I will ... forever. I promise you,” said her friend Erica Javier in her long response to Ms Limjoco’s farewell post on Facebook.
“I don’t want to believe it. I refuse to believe it. I wish this is all a dream. I don’t care what others think, as if I lose a family, but I DID. We’re not from the same blood but we’re like sisters to one another,” she added.
However, Ms Javier declined to comment to the GDN, saying it was up to the family whether to speak about it or not.
“The family is not interested in disclosing anything,” Ms Javier said.
Ms Limjoco’s older sister Amy expressed shock and disbelief on Facebook.
“I don’t want to believe you’re gone. It hurts to think that we were just laughing, and the next second – you’re just gone,” she said.
“I love you Jane. I am sorry … I should have stayed with you...,” said the woman, also a former Sacred Heart School student.
The youngest sibling, Michelle, is a student of Sacred Heart School Bahrain.
