Elijah Canlas marks brother JM’s 3rd death anniversary with raw, emotional tribute

“3 years feels like it’s forever,” the award-winning actor wrote in a post published at 5 a.m., opening up about the lingering agony of his loss. Unfiltered and intensely personal, he continued, “i miss you so fucking much, jm. sana lagi kang payapa at masaya. I pray for that every single day.”

The short but heavily emotional message laid bare the harsh reality of mourning, with Elijah openly stating, “hindi kailanman mawawala ang sakit,” acknowledging that the hurt he carries will never truly disappear.

Closing his lament, Elijah made a heartbreakingly poignant plea to his younger brother, writing, “please wait for me. mahal na mahal na mahal ka ni kuya habambuhay.”

Even three years after JM’s passing, Elijah’s unvarnished expression of enduring grief serves as a somber, gripping reminder of the indelible mark JM left on his family, proving that while time moves forward, a brother’s love remains anchored in forever.

Last June, Elijah joined the cast of his older brother Jerom’s Virgin Labfest XXIX entry, “Footprints,” said to be an ode to JM.
