Thomas J Hunt died on April 26, 2009. Mr. Hunt was from Yuma, Arizona and had been been stranded in a Philippine Hospital while his wife lived with her boyfriend in Fairfax, Va.

Mr. Hunt brought his then fiancee, Janelaze Songcuya, here to the United States in December, 2005. They were married and resided in Yuma, Arizona. In May, 2008, Mr. Hunt and his wife planned a trip to the Cagayan de Oro, Philippines to possibly retire there. Plans were that he would fly ahead of her and she would follow. She agreed to follow after receiving her temporary green card extension or permanent green card arrived. But, after Mr. Hunt flew to the Philippines, his wife then moved to Virginia to live with her boyfriend. Janelaze Hunt, never joined Mr. Hunt in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.

Mr. Hunt was unable to return home because he had little money. Then, this past January, Mr. Hunt became very ill and was admitted to the Hospital. He could have left the hospital at the end of January, if he had the money to pay the 25,000 peso ($500) hospital bill. He was unable to leave the hospital, and in March he became very ill again and lay in very grave condition, lacking the much needed and proper medical care that he so desperately needed to survive and hopefully. While still lucid he expressed that he wanted to return to the United States and that he wanted his wife to come to him in the hospital and bring him home to the United States.

His wife never went to him in the hospital and did not attend his funeral. Many have alleged that Mrs. Hunt used part or all of Mr. Hunt's $1000/month social security while Mr. Hunt was in the Philippines to explain why Mr. Hunt had so little money and could not pay his hospital bill and leave the hospital in by February 1st. But, there has been NO PROOF that Mrs. Hunt used any of the SS funds.

NOW IM NOT WONDERING WHY SOME RACES THINK THAT FILIPINA ARE GOLDDIGGER BECAUSE OF SOME FILIPINA RUIN OUR REPUTATION...SOME JUST LOOK FOR THE MONEY AND JUST FOR THEIR DREAM TO HAVE A GREENCARD!!IM SO ASHAME THAT FILIPINA LIKE THE WIFE OF MR.HUNT DO THIS HORRIBLE THING FOR HER HUSBAND!!
