Jomar served as chief financial officer of BMW distributor RSA Motors and was also working in the San Miguel Global Power Holdings Inc.

“Jomar was a dutiful, loving, and kind-hearted son, brother, and a loyal and dedicated friend to many. He was a source of great joy to us and we are truly blessed to have had his love and presence in our lives. We know in our hearts that he is in a much better place now,” his family said.
