SUPER TEKLA MANGIYAK-IYAK AT HUMIHINGI NG HUSTISYA MATAPOS MAMATAY ANG KANYANG KAPATID NA UMANOY NAG SUICIDE!

We are used to seeing comedians pull off a funny skit on stage and entertaining show . It is, afterall, a comedian’s job to make us laugh. Indeed most people agree that it’s harder to make someone laugh than it is to make them cry. 

However, a recent viral video from one of our local comedians isn’t making laugh. In fact, it’s making netizens feel the opposite – sad and frustrated. Stand-up comedian Romero Librada, or more popularly known as “Super Tekla,” turned emotional while he was pleading for justice in the live video. The cry for justice was in line with the death of his sister, Mariefe Librada, who was an OFW working in Kuwait.

Super Tekla started the video by thanking those who extended their sympathies to their family. “Nais ko lang po magpasalamat sa lahat po ng naki-simpatya sa sinapit ng kapatid ko sa Kuwait,” he said.

The comedian asked the embassy for help. He revealed, “Sana po matulungan tayo ng embassy na masilip po ang kaso ng kapatid ko para po malaman po namin kung siya po ay pinatay o nagpakamatay.” “Ang kapatid ko po ay isa rin po sa mga biktima [sa] mga pilipinong inaabuso, minamaltrato sa ibang bansa.”

The comedian started tearing up. He continued, “Matatangggap po namin kung talaga pong nagpakamatay siya, wala naman po kaming magawa pero kung sakali ho bigyan ho kami ng pagkakataon na masilip po ang sitwasyon ng kapatid ko diyan sa Kuwait, para po ma-prevent pa po natin kung saka-sakali po na may mga insidente pang mangyari ulit sa mga kababayan natin na nangingibang bansa na inaabuso, tapos pinapalabas nila na nagpakamatay.”

The comedian broke into tears. With quivering voice, Super Tekla revealed that he was in Canada, “Nandito pa po ako sa Canada, tinatapos ko nalang po yung dalawang show and after that uuwi na po ako.”

He urged the public to share his video in order to protect the OFWs who were facing the same abuse. “Alam ko hindi lang ako ang nakakaranas ng ganito. Marami pong mga pangyayaring ganyan, pero wala pong choice kasi wala naman sila magawa.”

“Buong puso po naming tatanggapin yun kung siya po ay nagpakamatay, pero sana po may pagkakataon bibiyan po kami ng laban para naman po mabigyan ng linaw ang pagkamatay ng kapatid ko.”

According to him, there is no reason for Mariefe to end her life. “Wala pa pong makitang dahilan para magpakamatay siya. Sana po sa pamamagitan po ng tulong ninyo, meron po tayong maprotektahang buhay.”
