Nanawagan sa publiko si Juliet Sunot ng bandang Aegis na itigil ang pag-imbento ng maling kwento tungkol sa pumanaw niyang kapatid at co-band member na si Mercy Sunot.

Sa Facebook account ng Aegis ay nag-post si Juliet ng pasasalamat sa lahat ng nakiramay sa kanila sa pagpanaw ng kapatid but at the same time ay nakiusap siya na tigilan na ang pagtatahi ng mga kwento tungkol kay Mercy.

“TO ALL WHO HAVE AND ARE SHARING OUR GRIEF FOR THE PASSING OF OUR BELOVED SISTER MERCY, IN BEHALF OF MY WHOLE FAMILY, I SINCERELY THANK ALL OF YOU FOR REACHING OUT AND SHARING YOUR CONDOLENCES AND SYMPATHY, AT THIS VERY LOWEST POINT OF OUR LIVES.

“YOUR KIND WORDS HAVE BEEN A BEACON OF LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS , PROVIDING US STRENGTH DURING THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME , AND NO AMOUNT OF WORDS COULD RIGHTFULLY EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE,” simula ni Juliet.

“MAY I HUMBLY ASK THEN , THAT PEOPLE REFRAIN FROM TAILORING STORIES ABOUT MY SISTER MERCY, QUOTING ME OF STATEMENTS I NEVER MADE, AND MAY WE BE ALLOWED PRIVACY WHILE WE DRAW IN ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY SISTER,” ang kanyang panawagan.

Nilinaw din ni Juliet na wala siyang pinauunlakan ng interview at lalong wala raw siyang statement na nagsasabing may bisyo ang kanyang pumanaw na kapatid.

“ALLOW ME TO REITERATE, I, JULIET SONOT OF AEGIS, HAD NEVER COMMUNICATED WITH ANYONE FOR INTERVIEWS & HAD NEVER MADE STATEMENTS THAT MERCY WAS INTO ANY VICES,” paglilinaw ng isa sa lead vocalist ng Aegis.

“PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP SPREADING MALICIOUS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST MY SISTER,” pakiusap pa niya.

Sina Juliet at Mercy ang magkapatid na lead vocalist ng Aegis band.

Pumanaw si Mercy habang naka-confine sa Stanford Hospital and Clinics sa San Francisco, California, noong umaga ng November 18 (Manila time) dahil sa breast and lung cancer.
