It grieves my heart to welcome this day with the death of a fine young man who fought by standing firm for the cause of the indigenous peoples, the Igorots.
Watching him excel in "Starstruck" I am, at the same time witnessing the pride in the eyes of his folks men while I was in Mt. Province. I can see that they long for this kind of representation.
The experienced discrimination served as his motivation to continue the fight for his people.
I do not know him personally but I enjoyed how much he did it to the top.
In a positive note, we learned our lesson. Discrimination is an issue that we need to conquer. He passed away but he left a legacy for his fellow Igorots.
