MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): John Matthew Salilig, 24, was a jolly person “who never ran out of jokes” and was “always the life of the party,” but underneath his cheerful exterior was a young man with big dreams, his grieving family said on Wednesday (March 1).

The youngest and 'brainiest' among seven siblings, Salilig originally wanted to be a pilot but shifted to chemistry in hopes of helping the country improve its oil refining capacity, “so Filipinos can enjoy better and affordable fuel,” said his eldest brother, John Michael.
