Marky Cielo, Igorot

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.
