BAGUIO CITY – Photojournalist Angelito
“Toots” Soberano passed away Dec. 25 on Christmas 10:20 p.m. here at the Baguio
Medical Center succumbing to a long bout with diabetes and kidney failure.
A native of Asingan, Pangasinan, Soberano was
56 years old at the time of his death. Although a businessman who had a string
of apartments and taxi units, Soberano’s passion was taking photographs for newspapers aside from joining
cause-oriented events.
A resident of Lower Brookside here, Soberano
started from the former Baguio-based Gold Ore renamed City Digest, then moved
on to the now defunct Baguio Daily Vibrations.
He later joined the Northern Philippine Times
among other newspapers.
Soberano was also news photographer for the
Northern Luzon Bureau of the Philippine Daily Inquirer since the 90’s.
Soberano was news and photo correspondent of
Manila Bulletin and European Pressphoto Agency at the time of his death.
His body was cremated with the wake held at
St. Peter’s Chapel here along Marcos Highway this weekend.
