Grabe, inabot ng umaga ang coverage ng memorial service ni Michael Jackson. Karamihan ay nanood kaya kahapon, marami pang antok na antok.
Pansin ko pa ang pamumula ng mata ni Gary V. sa launching ng GluControl nila ng asawang si Ms. Angeli Pangilinan, isang herbal dietary supplement na kanilang ini-endorso. Bukod sa alam ng lahat kung paano niyang inidolo si Michael, si Gary ang nakasama ni Ces Drilon na nag-host ng special coverage sa ABS-CBN sa nasabing memorial service ni Michael Jackson, Martes ng madaling araw.
Sa kanyang official website, naka-post ang special message ni Gary sa namayapang king of pop na hanggang ngayon ay hinahanap ng kanyang fans kung saan dinala ang katawan pagkatapos ng memorial service sa Staples Center sa Los Angeles.
“It is a sad day for the entire world that the greatest Artist/Performer of our time has passed away. The music industry would have never been what it is today without him.
“Truth be told, I am totally grieved about this and there is difficulty in finding the words to say. His music and style transcend generations as seen in the way he has influenced even the youngest of artists we see today. In some ways it’s like part of me has died too. He was an inspiration to me. I still wonder if he ever read the letter I wrote him when he performed here. It was the least I could do for all the years he inspired me.
“Michael Jackson...there will simply never be another quite like him.
“His death is now the biggest event but his music and his life were always about something big.
“I am thankful that I witnessed him live on stage and that he played his part as he sang and danced his way into my life. I don’t know until when this grieving will settle for all those who have been inspired by him.
“He became a laughingstock to some who chose to thrive on the gossip he may or may not have caused but to me, he will forever be the one who moved us the only way he could. May God bless his family. May God console his children. And may God bless us all who hurt at the passing of one who can never be equaled, the only one worthy of to be called THE KING OF POP,” sabi ni Gary sa kanyang message.
Anyway, kung meron mang isang ideal na mag-endorse ng mga dietary supplement cap-sule, si Gary ‘yun.
Matagal-tagal na ring nakikipag-laban sa diabetes ang singer pero nananatiling masigla ang katawan niya at walang epekto sa kanyang trabaho bilang singer at isang ama.
At pinasasalamatan niya ang kanyang asawa at ang buong pamilya na tumutulong sa kanya para ma-control ang kanyang diabetes na base sa pag-aaral ay magiging doble pa ang bilang pagdating ng 2030.
