According to Siytangco, Suarez died while playing a tennis game at a court in Ayala Alabang.

The tennis game was part of the tournament that Suarez has been organizing for his birthday for the past 11 years. 

He was rushed to the hospital, twenty minutes after he experienced the heart attack.

Last month, the Vatican cleared Suarez over allegations of sexually harassing minors.

"Malungkot man itong nangyari kay Father pero three weeks ago ay nagkaroon siya ng acquittal sa kaso niya sa Vatican dahil inireklamo siya ng sexual assault na wala namang evidence. After six years ay na-acquit siya ng Vatican, nagpadala ang Vatican ng sulat na he's clear," said Siytangco.

Suarez would have been 53 on Friday. — Angelica Y. Yang/LA, GMA News
