Angelika dela Cruz's brother Edward dies

Angelika dela Cruz's younger brother Edward has died
after he met a vehicular accident at NLEX early this morning.

Initial report by Inquirer.net says that Edward's car and another car
were hit from the rear by a truck at somewhere in San Simon, Pampanga.

But Pep.ph has a different version. It reported that Edward was the
one who was hit by the truck and not his car when he got off to check
the tires of his car.

Edward Pert Egger Dela Cruz was 28 years old and was a newly-elected Councilor in Malabon City. He ran under the Liberal Party and won the position when he got the 3rd highest votes among the candidates for Councilor in the city's District 2.

On his Facebook profile, he described himself as simple, tenderhearted and sympathetic to an unusual degree. He also considered himself as extremely romantic and often "in love with love".

Once a contract artist of Star Records with his band "Freshmen", Edward loved to play the guitar and compose songs.
