Last March 16, last thursday, I received a text message from some of my classmates and schoolmates from Paco Catholic School and they all said the same thing, 'for the repose of the soul of Mark John Robles, we are asking for your prayers. . . from the 4-12 family. please pass to all paconians.' I was shocked. You know, we werent really close. He was a band vocalist and a very popular guy back then, a crush ng bayan. He was more known as Yap, because, they said, he looked like James Yap. Then on our fourth years day, he was just hospitalized with some heart ailment. I heard that he had a hole in his heart, literally. He wasnt even able to perform for the battle of the bands since he was already confined. The school asked for prayers and financial help. His family couldnt pay for the medical expenses. He was unable to get up the stage for he was ill the whole year.

He was so young. He passed away the morning of March 16 from heart attack, and our high school principal declared it in front of this year's graduating batch. Let's just think that maybe God has his plans why that would have to happen.
