And The Tribute Continues

'The Man From Manila' an icon, a legend and definitely will count as a man for others. With One Love he embodied the soul meaning of being a Filipino and on how to embrace one's roots . I realize so much with his passing. His works and his passion, becoming the living proof of being a true citizen of this country.

May I share with you these sites: His Journey, he fought a good battle.


HIS WORDS
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Me too...I'm greatly affected by this loss. I used to memorize his songs with my brother when we were kids. So young...but on the brighter side, he left his wife with 8 wonderful kids.

He will be missed so much by many people.I can't help but cry while watching the eulogy part and the tribute in Eat Bulaga.He's still young and could do a lot more.But we can't question why he left his family and fans this early.
