Through the Facebook post of John Carl Vallega I learned of the passing away of Atty. Lucas Carpio Jr., the father of Second Gentleman Atty. Mans Carpio and father-in-law of Vice President Sara Duterte.
During the last night wake for Atty. Lucas Carpio Jr., I saw Ynah Sampang, the lovely host of SMNI News Channel’s public affairs program “sMall Talk” show (broadcast every Saturday from 3 pm to 4 pm) alongside Atty. Ferdie S. Topacio, a Filipino lawyer, film producer and jazz vocalist (whose birthday is on November 9).
Ynah graduated summa cum laude with a BA (Honors) in Entrepreneurship and Innovation via the De Montfort University pathway at Southville International School Affiliated with Foreign Universities (SISFU) in Las Pinas City.
She is the founding chairperson, national president, and lead convenor of ISDA (Inday Sara Duterte Advocacy) Youth Philippines.
I first met Ynah in San Juan City at the historic Club Filipino on April 12, 2026 during the official launch of the RAGE (Reform Alliance for Good Governance and Accountability) Coalition led by Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte.
