Daniel “Dan” Salapong

Dear friends and family,
I’m saddened to share the news about my nephew Daniel “Dan” Salapong. Daniel passed away on 11/09/22 at Medical Centre Taguig City (MCT) Hospital in Taguig, Philippines. Daniel was rushed to the Hospital by his family after being found unconscious on the floor of his home on Saturday, November 5th, 2022. Upon reaching the Hospital, it was determined he had suffered a massive stroke; he had surgery to alleviate the pressure in his brain. He regained temporary consciousness on November 6, 2022; unfortunately, Daniel died on Wednesday.
Daniel was a good son, brother, nephew, grandchild, and an excellent teacher. Following in the footstep of his mom, Maria Theresa ”Bong” Salapong, Daniel was a 4th-grade teacher for the last three years at Kapitan Jose Cardones Integrated School (KJIS) school in Taguig, Philippines. Daniel was a passionate teacher, though knowing that teachers in the Philippines barely make ends meet and have no Medical coverage until after seven years of contributions are met.
Daniel opted to follow his passion for serving others, just like the quote on his Facebook page, “Poverty can purify the Soul more than wealth can.” I hope that, with this GoFundMe page, we can provide financial support to my brother Nelson and his family to cover the Medical and Funeral expenses exceeding $20,000 (US Dollars).
Any little support will help our family greatly! We appreciate it very much!
Thank you, and God Bless
Salapong Family
