A tragic two-car collision in County Antrim on Sunday claimed the lives of Ralph Anthony Singco and Cathrene Kith Quiñones Singco, both in their 30s. The couple’s unborn child, named Kate, also died as a result of the crash. Their parish priest, Father Vincent Cushnahan of St Vincent de Paul in Ligoniel, described the pair as “vibrant and dynamic,” recalling their excitement about starting their family together. “They had a great joy and excitement about beginning their young family together,” he said.
The crash occurred shortly after 2 p.m. GMT on the Moira Road in Crumlin. Alongside the two fatalities, six other individuals sustained minor injuries. Father Cushnahan explained that the Singcos had been residents in north Belfast for around four or five years, while Ralph’s family originally relocated to the area from the Philippines over two decades ago. He expressed the profound impact the tragedy has had, especially within the tight-knit Filipino community. “A very deep profound tragedy here in the north Belfast area and especially for those in the Filipino community who are close knit,” he remarked.
Speaking to Good Morning Ulster, Father Cushnahan revealed that Cathrene and Ralph had been trying for a baby for four years and had just celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary the day before the fatal accident. He described the couple as “hard-working,” employed in the healthcare sector, and added that they were well-loved within their community. “They enjoyed themselves as well. They were vibrant, lively, they were faithful. They loved TikTok, they loved singing… they love to take lots of photographs and show off on social media because that allows their family back home to see how they are getting on,” he said.
Plans are underway for a vigil at St Vincent de Paul church on Sunday, where Father Cushnahan encouraged people to come and pay their respects. The service will feature traditional hymns sung by members of the Filipino community, providing a solemn yet culturally meaningful tribute. After the funeral service, which is set for Wednesday, the couple will be repatriated to the Philippines. In the wake of this devastating loss, Father Cushnahan noted the outpouring of support from the community, describing it as “a tsunami of generosity” that has included prayers and donations. “The family are deeply appreciative,” he added
