The morning of December 7th was a Sunday morning when Marky Cielo did not wake up. While there is still no official word as to the cause of his death, the silence is fanning speculations. Was is really bangungot (acute pancreatitis a la Rico Yan), or was it suicide?

Suot niya ang kanyang suit na ginamit noon sa grand finals ng kanyang StarStruck season. Kapansin-pansing napakataas ng saradong kuwelyo ni Marky na takip ang kanyang leeg. [^]

If it was suicide, could it be that he thought it was the only honorable thing to do? He was, afterall, a good person and people look up to him because of that.

In the end, all reality shows have to face reality. And what his family and fans are asking is some privacy, please. Let truth take its time.

Marky Cielo models two of the shirts from the wide line-up of Crimson Shirt of which he is the main endorser.

‘’Tis the season to be jolly,’ says Marky, ‘and to brighten up the scene with colorful clothes in keeping with the spirit of the season.’

Crimson Shirt is constantly evolving, refusing to submit itself to the dictum of the so-called ‘prophets of fashion.’

The designs are edgy, with the material at once pleasing to the eye and that fits and hugs the body of the wearer perfectly.

Crimson Shirts are available at all SM outlets and stores nationwide. [Philippine Star]

He will be seen next in Asian Treasures with Angel Locsin and Robin Padilla.
