marky cielo's early demise

To some of us, he is just another name in showbiz. But to his fellow Igorots, Mark Angelo Cadaweng Cielo is a living testimony that even teenagers having indigenous roots can make it big in the industry. At 10 AM of Sunday, December 07, he was found dead in his Antipolo house. Although a lot of peopple said he died in his sleep (bangungot), Marky Cielo's early demise is still being investigated by the police as of press time.

Marky's name rose to stardom when he won the Batch 3 of GMA 7's Starstruck with Gian Carlo, Iwa Moto and Jackie Rice. He has starred in a number of shows in the network such as Zaido, Codename: Asero, SOP and the primetime series La Lola. He also hosted the GMA 7 documentary entitled Kalam which talked about the rice problems of the Philippines. Originally from the northern part of the country, Marky Cielo grew up in Butuan City. In 2001, they moved back to the Mountain Province, which made him fluent in both Bisaya and Kankanaey.

Without any hesitation, I am writing this post in memory of this young actor known for being a good-natured boy and talented dancer. Together with his family and members of the Cordillera organization, let us all pray that his soul find peace with our Creator.
