Dolores “Dolly” Aglay-Elona (c.1967 – May 26, 2008) was a Filipino business and financial journalist who worked for the Manila news bureau of Reuters News Agency and the Philippine Star during her career.[1]
Aglay joined Reuters as a business reporter in 1995.[1] She had previously also worked as a business reporter for the Philippine Star.[1] Aglay specialized in reporting on commodity stories, such as food pricing, while reporting for Reuters.[1]
Dolly Aglay died of cancer, which she had been battling for almost 3 years, in Manila on May 26, 2008, at the age of 41.[1] According to her husband, Philippine Star reporter Mel Elona, she had been disappointed that she could not report as actively on her stories while being treated for her illness.[1] She "kept talking about missing out on one of the biggest commodities stories of recent years in the Philippines, the rise in rice prices over the past few months."[1]
Aglay was buried at Heritage Park in Manila on Sunday, June 1, 2008.[2] She was survived by her husband, journalist Melchor “Mel” Elona, and their two children, Julian and Fides.[2] She was also survived by her parents, Pastor Sr. and Maximiana, and her siblings, Josephine, Jane and Pastor Jr.[2]
