Halfway across Halsema, I learned what I have been looking for — Marky’s middle name. I was told it’s ‘Cadaweng.’ I’m not sure if it’s true but it basically confirms that Marc Anthony Angelo is an Igorot. Her mom is one. He grew up in Butuan but is now in Baguio. I think he is of Bauko descent.
I tried asking Marky himself via StarStruck TXT, but he never replied. Anyway, that facility is not that reliable for queries such as these and comments posted on the StarStruck blog were more helpful.
I’m back in Baguio with a Sagada windburn. And talking about home, someone with a family name of Cadaweng used to live one house away from us. I’m sure it’s not Marky’s family, but you get the idea of how close the connection can get once one tries to do some legwork around here.
So far, Marky’s still there and it seems he will continue to be there at least for a month more. Because of that, I wouldn’t mind the windburn. And I’m a southpaw, too, as if anybody cares. LOL
My next question would be: Where did he last enroll at? We’re not schoolmates because the last someone made it to the regionals of the other artista reality show, they made the whole school know by posting the info on the university bulletin board and leaflet.

Marky is a 17-year old Architecture student of SLU, Baguio. Most likely he is on leave of absense now so he could be in Manila to try out his luck at StarStruck.

Congratulations Marky and supporters!!! I coundnt just remember how many times i clicked and voted for Marky. I even asked my customers (its a net cafe) to log on to the strstruck to vote for him and we were all excited….. at last u won… and u made a history!!!!
I am not from Mt Province but a full blooded Igorot also, specifically a, KALANGUYA… Well not only igorots of Mt. Province supported u MARKY but also the KANKANA-EYS and IBALOYS and KALANGUYAS of the Cordilleras. ximpre.. we are all very proud of u. Dito natin makikita ang sinasabing PAGKAKAISA… and I hope that this would be the start of a more “bonded” o kaya “magandang samahan” among US i mean the IGOROTS in the Cordillera
To VIROLABEL, congratulations for a very nice “article” about IGOROTS.. I am hoping to find blogs of yours also about the other IGOROTS…

DI ANG HABA NA NAMAN NG HAIR NG IGOROTA…. I JUST SAID”THANK YOU SIR ITS JUST BECAUSE IM AN IGOROT” AND HE SAID ……OHHHH IGOROTS ARE BETTER THEN, AS U CAN SEE SIR…HEHEH LUMABAS PAGKAMALDITA KO KANINA KC KAHARAP KO ANG MGA KA WORK KONG MAKIKITID ANG ULO…. WHEWWWWW

GOD bLESS us all..
we just need an inspiration to come out of the open and declare our heritage….as for me, i’ve never been ashamed of who i am and of my roots and heritage…Everytime i go on field work to different places in the phillipines, i take it an opportunity to educate people i meet and to let them know that..hey, im an igorota and im proud of it…im not short, im not dark skinned, my hair is not kinky, im not dumb and ignorant, and most especially, i dont have tail and i dont live on trees…. res ipso loquitor!!!
To all igorots, let us live up to the image that marky has built. Let’s prove to those “ignorant ones” that their misconception about igorots are very far from the truth. Majority of us have our own stories of being discriminated because we hesitate to deny or hide our true culture and heritage. “Kung taong-bundok man tao, atleast we can say we that we are civilized, educated, intelligent/talented, and marunong sa buhay”. I just hope that whatever pride we have on our culture will be passed on to the later generations, that they may also carry with them the “spirit” of the true igorot tribe.
Anent to this, let us not forget the golden rule….we are always complaining about being discriminated so we already know the feeling…so let us also give respect to the “other groups” especially the minority ones…to earn respect, we must also give respect…
To VIROLABEL, that was really a very nice and well written article…thank you for the info and the insights. We actually had the same hospital experience as what you’ve mentioned in your earlier article. But what the heck…. in the end….kinain din naman nla lahat ng sinabi nila….hehehe…
Anyway, to MARKY, I may not be able to follow all your shows or activities but my support as well as the full support of those people whose hearts and lives you have touched will surely follow you through. Keep your feet on the ground, remain humble, keep improving your craft…and most especially…KEEP YOUR FAITH TO GOD AND THANK HIM ALWAYS FOR WHATEVER YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW…GOD BLESS US ALWAYS….
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
