Tom and his friends believed there were signs from God telling them not to push through with their vacation.
Days after the cremation of the late Hashtag member Franco Hernandez, fellow member Tom Doromal finally broke his silence over the incident. He shared what really happened during their Davao Occidental trip where Franco drowned and died.
“Nung nalaman namin na may bakasyon, ininvite ko lahat ng Hashtags. Flight namin 6AM, tapos nung 6AM nagulat kami ba’t wala pa yung flight namin. Di ba pag sa aiport may last call. Nung 8AM na tinanong na namin, sabi oo kanina pa. Hindi pa tinawag yung pangalan namin. Tapos pinarebook na nila, 9AM ata or 10AM nag-fly kami ng Davao,” he started sharing.
“Una, balak talaga namin mag falls kaso a day before umulan sa place namin, tapos sabi yung falls pangit na. Sabi ko bro, pwede tayo mag-white beach. Tapos nung nakarating kami, sinabi ko bro balik na tayo kasi anong oras na medyo dumadami na ang alon,” he added.
According to him, it was pass 2pm when water started filling their boat so they don’t have a choice but to jump to the sea. Franco’s girlfriend with another unnamed girl were left behind.
“Napasukan na talaga ng tubig ng buo, e di tumalon na silang lahat so nagulat na lang ako kasi sila Nam saka si Franco nandun na sa medyo malayo.”
The rescuers tried to save Nam and Franco but they then told Tom that Franco was no longer breathing.
“Pumasok sa isip namin na sabi ni God na ‘wag nang tumuloy. Pero hindi kasi pumasok sa isip namin e. Parang na-realize namin after na ng pangyayari. Parang kinompile namin yung sign na binigay ni Lord na ‘wag na kayong tumuloy,” he shared.
