Condolences to the family & friends of Cita Dinglasan, a lifestyle writer who killed herself last week by jumping off a 9th floor condo bulding in Makati City last March 16, 2011 at 6:20am. Her death is now a police matter as it cannot be readily determined if Cita accidentally jumped off the condo (or was she pushed?). Cita has been an active member of the community of Northern CA as can be gauged by the abundance of her videotaped lectures posted on YouTube, among others.
