BIBAKnets is a global Igorot online community that started in 1997. This is the same group that sent a swamp of e-mails after Lucy Torres made a boo-boo in one sitcom episode. I sent an update to this group about Marky Cielo. I never thought the result would be that overwhelming! You see, Igorots (generally) are not into this wow artista sikat!

But now that Cadaweng is in the limelight, then we might as well say, Go Marky! The Igorot star!

There’s this aspiring Igorot actor (can act, can dance, and honing his singing skills) who goes by the name of Marky Cielo. He has an interesting middle name. Accordingly, he is of Bauko-Sabangan and probably Besao lineage.

Interesting tidbits:

There’s a Mildred Cadaweng Cielo who is from Butuan City. Probably a relative of his. OK, not that interesting.

There’s a Mildred Madeo Cadaweng who was added to the list of Filipino survivors in the tsunami in Phuket on December 26, 2004. She is a Hong Kong-based overseas worker.

There’s a three-year old Jenbryl Rhye Cadaweng who died after succumbing to leukemia at the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC).

Local folk and country musicians wanted to help a toddler afflicted with cancer pay for her next chemotherapy session. Instead, they ended up raising funds for her casket through a concert-for-a-cause Tuesday night.

Three hours after she died, nine bands, three soloists and a trio staged a four-hour performance until midnight.
