Four children have been left orphans after their dad died from coronavirus - five years after their mum passed away due to cancer.
Miguel Plangca, 55, moved from Ozamis in the Philippines, to Ireland to work around 25 years ago. The dedicated dad spent two decades working on the packaging line at the Bird's Eye factory in Naas, Co Kildare, and would send money home to support his wife Gilceria and his children back in his homeland.
After his wife died in 2015 his children moved to Ireland the following year to be with him, Irish Mirror reports. But tragically last week Miguel became one of the country's 1,561 people who have died six weeks after contracting Covid-19.
