It was a silent yet shocking news. FPJ is dead. The King of Philippine action movies loses to his final battle with sudden stroke. When he was in intensive care somehow I figured that there's a possibility that he will not make it. Even at this early stage in intensive care, the media is already swarming about the issue - as if he is already dead. Infomercial here and there. I hope that wasn't the factor that cut through FPJ's last breaths.
I was listening to news in the car this afternoon and still the main news for the day was FPJ. There was one incident where some of FPJ's supporters during election destroyed the flowers sent by the administration. I laughed when someone remarked from FPJ's camp (an old woman) saying that it was PGMA's fault why FPJ died and they will take revenge.. I mean, the man died on natural cause. Why blame it to the president.
FPJ's impact to Philippine society is undoubtedly huge. The defender of the poor, the oppressed. Fighting with super quick punches and miraculously misses gunshots, now is put to rest.
