FATHER Fernando Suarez, popularly known as the “healing priest”, died on Tuesday. He was 52.
In an interview over dzMM and dzBB radio, Missionaries of Mary Mother of the Poor (MMMP) spokesman Deedee Siytangco said the priest suffered a “massive heart attack” while playing tennis in Ayala Alabang in Muntinlupa City. The game was supposedly a tournament for priests.
Suarez was rushed to the Asian Hospital, but was declared dead on arrival at 2 p.m.
Among the first to react on his passing was former senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito.
“Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Suarez, Oh Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him,” wrote in his tribute to the late priest on Twitter. “Rest In Peace, Fr. Fernando Suarez.”
Suarez was supposed to turn 53 on Friday. ARIC JOHN SY CUA, NIKKI DELOS REYES
