Kobe Bryant and My Brother Noel Carpio

-


Blast from the past, while my brother and I, Noel, were at the University Mr. Bryant was popular worldwide. He was a household name. My family made an observation that Mr. Bryant looks a lot like my brother, Noel.

Along with the peoples of the world we at Inspires send our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families and friends  of the victims in that helicopter crash.

He inspired and continues to inspire multitudes of people. This author included.

Life is fleeting.

Life is significant.

Life is purposeful.

He matters so much that even his leaving this world sent ripples unto the shores of these islands that he visited when he was alive. 

He inspired me to keep going with my writing.

Time and again, I would write that what happens in a far continent has an effect in a far and away island in another part of the globe.

He made people smile. 

A hero to many.

A role model. Be it as a father and a friend to all.

May he rest in peace.

This mission was different, very specific, targeted to help individual needs of people.” When did you arrive in Naga and when was the mission accomplished? Mr. Nasr, “ I’ve been in the Philippines since June 17 through to June the 29th.” You mentioned that you and your three-member-team booked accommodations at a local hotel, this showed your dedication to help the
