Scintar Buenviaje Mejia: Navy Officer Suicide After Cocaine Bust

Lt. Cmdr. Scintar B. Mejia is the first cousin of my cousins and was our neighbor in Urdaneta, Pangasinan (Barangay Nancamaliran East). He is the Grandson of the Late Atty. Prudencion Mejia Sr. and Atty Guillerma B. Mejia (MAR- Legal Counsel Region I). I saw him when he was a little boy learning to walk, until the time he was struggling to finish high school education. He even push cart loaded with vegetables, fruits and sometimes charcoal and firewood. Then he worked as a Piggery Helper in Manaoag, Pangasinan. He tried everything just to make both ends met. He helped his siblings (2 girls) in their daily needs. His Dad Prudencio Mejia III (Denny) is a Law Graduate of U.P. Diliman. When he found his biological Mom is still alive and was leaving here in California, he contacted her and was petitioned and was brought here in the Land of Milk and Honey (?). He joined the United States Navy. He got the brains and he used it as a tool to go up the ranks with the Military. Unfortunately, he died a meaningless death caused by the Stupid Philippine Police. They didn't even know who the guy is. Maybe he (Scintar) jumped to his death, because of the shame he got in the face of his (former) co-Filipino. Rest in Peace Scintar. Your Cousins (Joanne, James, Jennifer and Marie) are so devastated about your tragedy.... His life  is the exact example of  Former President Cory Aquino's Quote (I rather die a meaningless death, rather than live a meaningless life!)
