    Title is very misleading. As of time of posting, whether or not the person is from DLSU has yet to be confirmed.

      Bro, I'm sure God is longing for a relationship with you. Kung ano man situation mo ngayon kung bakit mo nasabing "I'm next", It's just a challenge and I know God is more than willing to give His Grace for you to get through it. God's helping hand is already in front of you. All you have to do is grab it, let Him help you. Try having a relationship with God, nakaka adik! :D And don't be too much attached to the things of the world. Peace yow!

      Matthew 6:19
      Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

Oo mahirap at nakaka depressed pero kung nasa katinuan ka hindi naman ma aattemp eh. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO FEEL. SHOULD I FEEL SO SORRY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID OR TO GET PISSED BECAUSE OF THAT POINTLESS SIN. but still, condolence to his family and may his soul rest in peace.

    We don't know what is going through his mind when he jumped. Pwedeng super depressed na siya, to the point na everything is hopeless at hindi na siya makapagisip ng solution. It's DEFINITELY WRONG to commit suicide, pero wala tayo sa sitwasyon nya. Pwedeng sobrang nahihirapan na siya, madaling sabihin na "Pwede ka namang humingi ng tulong sa iba or sa friends mo." again, pwedeng hindi na niya maisip yun kasi sarado na ang isip nya to take his own life. Condolences to his family, may your soul rest in peace. It can also be the building itself, kasi nakakaapekto yan kung ano ang atmosphere sa building. I hope the management of Kassel will do something about this. Ang dami ng history of suicide sa condo nila, they should take immediate action.

      I agree that leo is in the state of BEING TOO DEPRESSED... thinking and feeling that he is alone and no one is there to help him... I hope the people around him known his situation and somehow have helped him surpass his situation...the video I watched was really scary and left me goosebumps.... I wanted to cry after watching it... I'm the depressive type but I am thankful that my friends have helped me go through my problems and listen to me endlessly...

      Guys, if you came to a point na depress kayo at feeling niyo AYAW NIYO NA TALAGA... PLEASE LANG PO, LAPITAN NIYO MGA KAIBIGAN NIYO... kung kailangan na umalis kayo ng bahay at mag-stay sa house ng friends niyo to feel better DO IT.. don't lock yourself inside your house/room and drown yourself in sadness...

      I am here for those who needs someone they can turn to... I KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE DEPRESSED AND IT REALLY IS SCARY... email me, I'M WILLING TO HELP AND LISTEN: Marialigaya06@gmail.com

      isipin niyo na lang kung kadugo niyo ang gumawa nito, kahit kadugo niyo yan, pag yan kinain ng depression at di na niya kinaya ang bigat ng saloobin niya... can you still say na SELF-CENTERED SIYA?

      dumaan ako sa matinding depression when I was in college and totally wala akong options to resolve my issue, that time marami akong iniisip, family ko iniwan ako, studies ko napabayaan, friends ko din ung asin ka close ko di man lang ako napamper or at least i can talk to them, im living alone sa apartment (di kami mayaman na may condo) pero sa high rise din un, i went to the roof top and mag attempt na ganun but I tried my self to look upon other people just to compare ano ba nasa akin na wala sa kanila, I cried the whole day sa rooftop and I just then realized na, no this is not the ending, I know pagsubok lang to but I have to be strong and not to choose to die because may purpose pa akong kung bakit ako nandito sa mundo......

      lesson is you are more blessed than other people who doesn't have the luxury to go to school and live like what you are currently enjoying... also it all boils down on how you respect yourself and how you were being treated way back before as you grow up as an adolescent.

      ^True. :) dumaan din ako sa depression dati.. And to the point of wanting suicide. Hindi ako masyadong open with personal problems kaya dinala ko lahat yun... Family ko naapektuhan.
      There even came a time na umiyak nlng ako ng umiyak, and I was thinking, how much better it was na wala na ako sa mundo. Then after a few days, may nag-invite sakin na pumunta sa isang Christian camp, dahil christian mom ko. At first, ayoko kasi natandaan ko nun, bineblame ko pa si God sa mga nangyayari sakin. But then again, I decided to go parin. So pagdating dun... Ginroup kami, at may leader sa bawat group... And noong time na yun, inencourage kami na magshare kung may mga pinagdadaanan ng problema.. Hindi ko maishare yung akin, pero naiyak ako nun just thinking of these problems I'm carrying. And sobrang cinomfort nila ako... Then after, may nagbigay na message na Pastor.. Talking about Loving God, and loving myself... And later on, I discovered more, na I was missing something BIG sa buhay ko. I discovered God's wonderful love.. Yung relationship we can have with Him. And since then, I tried praying to God more, and ibang kalidad talaga, yung love na ipapakita Niya sa iyo. Na kahit sino ka man, yung great God na ito, mamahalin ka Niya parin ng lubos. And yun, it changed my life forever. Not only yung suicide thing. But everything about life... Na hindi ko man talaga nakita dati. Grabe lang talaga ngayon. And yun nga... May malaking magandang plano si God para sa iyo, sa bawat isa sa atin and you don't wanna miss it. :)

      Para kay Anonymous October 28, 2013 at 6:31 AM: You've never really been through depression kung ganyan ang pinagsasasabi mo. Ang ibang tao kasi, basta-basta na lang ginagamit ang term na "Depressed" without really knowing its real clinical definition. Kung totoong pinagdaanan mo rin ang depression dati, you would feel for this person na nagpakamatay dahil alam mo firsthand ang feeling of hopelessness to the point na mas maigi na lang na magpakamatay. Bago ka magcomment nang hindi maganda, siguraduhin mo muna ang sasabihin mo.

    We definitely don't know what's the real reason why he did it, unless he told someone or he left a note about the things that he's going through that might lead him to that decision. He might have decided that that reason is worth throwing his life away.

    when I was younger, pag sumasagi sa isip ko ang 'suicide'. I always think about spaghetti and other favorites that I would not be able to experience again. Always makes me reconsider. Now I always think about my wife and kids, how I need to survive longer for their security and guidance. In essence, LOVE is the key.

    Depression is an illness of the mind. Please take note of that. There comes a point when depressive people become unable to make rational decisions like when schizophrenic people find it hard to identify reality from not. I consider myself highly scientific and practical. I preach the same things like suicide is bad and selfish, that there's only one life for us to celebrate, and that we have family and friends to hold on to. But when I'm in a state of depression, which happens from time to time, almost every few months, all of things disappear from my mind until all I can think about is ending this madness and loneliness. That is the suicidal thought part. It's not just the ambiance of a place or the collective problems of the person that trigger this behavior, but moreso the sole idea that he/she/I can end it now, right at this moment.

    So don't you dare make this topic or news ridiculous.

      Talagang may mga ibang course na mas mahihirap/stressful talaga. Baka ang difficulties na tinutukoy mo ay trivial lang and hindi academic. Icompare mo for example yung population ng isang batch of a certain course nung nagstart as freshmen with the same batch pagkagraduate. Kung mas mababa ang number ng regular grads and malaki ang percentage ng shiftees/irregs ng course na yun kumpara sa isa pang course chances are, mahirap ang course na yun. Unless mababa ang standards ng school and ipinapasa na lang lahat. And then magkaka-alaman na naman sa board exams. Kung maliit lang ang percentage ng mga pumapasa compared sa population ng examinees, mahirap ang course na yun. Or marami lang bobo ang ipinasa na lang ng schools nila ang nakapagboards. Bagsak nga lang.

PT course is not a joke.. if ikaw yung nsa lugar namin and you're taking PT you'll surely take it seriously.. PT is not what usually people thinks about it.. akala nyo kasi ang PT e masahista.. be professional enough to think na we're studying 5 years of this course pra labg tawagin kaming ganun.. you don't know how bad it feels kapag ganun lagi ang perception samin.. well lahat naman ng course my misperception but it's up to theperson kung anu ung alam nya about the course.. This guy was one my batchmate's co-intern.. and they said depression nga daw ung reason.. nkakadepress naman tlga ang PT and ibang course siguro naman napagdaanan mo din yun.. don't degrade us PTs coz in time kakailanganin mo din kami..

Keep yourself away from quite depressing condition while passing Kassel Condo cuz a bad spirit demon will trick you out guiding and blinding you all the way to the rooftop as if you thought you are just normally going with a friend peacefully but in a different dimension without your knowing that death would come your way. Beware of evil spirits roaming around and always be strong in the LORD.
