\nCEBU CITY — The family of pilot Captain Jessup Bahinting grieved on learning that the wreckage of the ill-fated aircraft that Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo rode in has been found in the seawaters off Masbate.
\nBut Bahinting\u2019s wife, Margarita, has accepted her husband\u2019s fate.
\n \u201cIt is very painful but we have to accept the fact that he is dead,\u201d she said.
\nMargarita\u2019s pain is shared by many relatives, friends and fellow church members who visited the family\u2019s residents in Barangay Cansojong, Talisay City.
\nCebu City Mayor Michael Rama urged concerned sectors to ensure that the retrieval operations of Bahinting and Nepalese co-pilot Kshitiz Chand \u201cwill be as vigorous\u201d as the search for Robredo.
\nRama also urged aviation authorities to conduct regular inspections on commercial and private aircraft.
\nCompetent
\nHis call was echoed by Archbishop Emeritus for Cebu Ricardo Cardinal Vidal.
\nVidal also said Bahinting is known by many as a good and competent pilot.
\nMargarita is being consoled by personnel, instructors and students of Aviator, the aerial tour company and flight school founded by Jessup.
\nMargarita, a member of the Grace Communion International (GCI), said her faith gave her strength and eased the pain of her loss.
\nGCI is a Christian group where Jessup was a pastor and supervisor for the Visayas.
\n\u201cIt is by God\u2019s grace that we are able to bear it. I am thankful for the support of our relatives, friends and fellow church members,\u201d Margarita said.
\nShe said her son Dan Bryan and daughter Jemar will be coming home from the United States with other relatives.
\nThe Bahintings\u2019 grandchildren Kernellymay, 17, and Ron Dean, 15, are also with Margarita. They arrived from Bukidnon to spend the long weekend with their grandparents in their resort in Ginatilan, Cebu
\nPostponed
\nKernellymay told Sun.Star Cebu that they flew on an Aviatours aircraft from Bukidnon to Mactan last Saturday morning.
\nBut Jessup moved their trip to Ginatilan, supposedly last Sunday, because he had to fly Robredo to Naga City.
\nCebuanos who have had dealings with Robredo expressed regrets over his death.
\nRamon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (Rafi) chief operating officer Dominica Chua said Robredo was a model of good governance.
\n\u201cRafi learned from Naga City, during the leadership of then Mayor Robredo, how to institutionalize people participation in governance,\u201d she added.
\nRobredo was a speaker in a forum on good governance organized by Rafi in 2008.
\nFr. Carmelo Diola of Dilaab Foundation said Robredo\u2019s death is a loss to the crusade for good governance.
\nCebu Coalition of People Power Volunteers for Reform chairman Democrito Barcenas expressed condolences to the Robredo family.
\n\u201cHe was honest and dedicated,\u201d he said.
\nCebu Archbishop Jose Palma said the church will pray for Robredo and his family. (EOB\/BAP\/Sun.Star Cebu)
