Benjamin Alves mourns the death of his father
Benjamin Alves is mourning the death of his father Ebet Sapida, 65, who passed away on October 9.
The Kapuso actor paid tribute to his late father on Instagram Saturday, where he posted a photo of his dad blowing his birthday cake.
In the caption, Benjamin wrote an emotional message:
My dad did not have a weak heart.
Of all the words I can describe my dad: humble, gentle, kind, sincere, patient, joyful, selfless - none of which a man with a lesser heart could be.
He never asked for a better seat at the table, never wanted a higher position; he never had any other agenda but to serve wholeheartedly.
And though my heart breaks for the sudden loss of my dad, I know that Daddy would tell me to have faith - to trust that God’s timing is perfect - and to take comfort in Him.
My dad’s heart is not the reason why he left us, it is the reason why he will always be remembered.
Eribert “Ebet” A. Sapida
June 26, 1953 - October 9, 2018Rest in peace Daddy. I love you.
