Sen. Raul Roco is gone (+)

          Sen. Roco is gone. The man who brightens up my day with his colorful and fanciful choice of fashion - yes, the gumamela-laden polo. So now, what..ahh..at least Mayor Atienza of Manila is still there to live the fashion. Yeah, I remember him mostly (argh..aside from his strong stand against artificial methods of family planning) for his show "Maynila" where he features areas of the city which the city government has improved, and of course every episode also features his colorful polo, just like Senator Raul Roco's.

          It was in the middle of our CMT session when my seatmate received a message saying he's gone. I texted some friends asking if it's true, and after only a few minutes one of them confirmed that it indeed is true. Died around 9 in the morning due to his prostate cancer at St. Lukes, she said.

          Oh, that was sad. I didn't vote for Roco in the last Presidential election, but I was saddened by his death though everyone know that he is suffering from cancer. Then I remembered that he is the second among the 2004 Presidentiables who died. Actually, I was more shocked with the death of Mr. Fernando Poe, Jr. and though I never did liked him to be President somehow, I felt the gloom in the atmosphere.

          My late bloomer friend quoted Eddie Gil saying that the next one to die among the Presidentiables is a woman (and of course isa lang naman yun)..and my friend wrote, pwede ba silang magsabay? (knock on wood). Well though that Eddie Gil guy is now well known for his antiques, pero hindi naman nakakatawa yun comment niya na yun. Not that I am for gma, hindi ko rin naman yun binoto (hello!?), pero bad naman kasi na i-predict mo na mamamatay yun isang tao (kahit sino pa yun).

          Of course, everyone is already saying their own pieces on the consecutive deaths of 2 presidentiables, like there seems to be a trend..blah..blah..blah.. And Panfilo Lacson has everything to say against gma..and SWS's survey revealed that Filipinos are sort of giving their thumbs up for gma (and her cohorts are predicting that it will continue to rise in the next survey, as if they've been to the future or some sort of have seen the result of future surveys - hello?!)..and Eddie Gil was seen on the news last Friday having problems with some real estate/property in a city..and Bro. Eddie Villanueva held prayer rallies for the principles of truth, justice, freedom and righteousness to reign in the country.

          What's next? I don't know. As my former Prof. in USTe would always say: "only God knows!!" And I still have faith that the Almighty is still in control; and that everything will be exposed, in His own perfect time.
