Did you know that the late Stephen Hawking’s (best) nurse was a Filipino called Dino, from Zamboanga? https://filipinotimes.net/news/2018/03/15/stephen-hawkings-best-nurse-filipino/
"You were the best nurse". Sounds like that message was posted after his death. In which case Stephen's thoughts about death and the afterlife were all wrong. Spooky or what.
“Do you now that a FILIPINO NURSE was one of those who kept one of the world's greatest physicist Stephen Hawking alive? The name of that nurse is Dino Illustrisimo who is based in London. He is my cousin. We stay stay with him when we visit London. Dino is a graduate of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University nursing school. Coming from the Natividad-Barredo Clan of Zamboanga City, Dino first worked in a hospital in London before the Hawking family got him as one of Stephen's private nurses. We've known about this for some time now but Dino asked us not to tell anyone about it. Now it can be told. Hawkins did write his appreciation of his favorite nurse as shown in this computer message to Dino: "You were the best nurse."” “A few minutes ago Dino posted these beautiful pictures of him with Hawkings with the words: "Thank you for everything. Your universe is now complete. Rip boss I will surely miss you. " While we share Dino and the world's collective grief for the passing away of one of the greatest minds of our generation, we also pay tribute to Filipino nurses, doctors, engineers, educators, sailors, domestic helpers etc. who work unheralded in the background so great people can achieve greatness. Let us SHARE this beautiful news that behind one of the world's greatest minds is a Filipino nurse! Can the universe exist without Filipinos? Proud to be PINOY!!!” Written by Armand Dean Nocum
