    Rest in Peace...

    MANILA, Philippines - Action star Rudy Fernandez succumbed to cancer early Saturday morning, ending a battle that lasted several months.

    Radio dzBB quoted Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. as saying Fernandez passed away at 6:15 a.m., less than a month after he was brought out of a hospital to his home.

    Fernandez had undergone treatment abroad for his illness. A healing mass attended by several friends at the Christ the King Church in Quezon City last May 10 was held for him.

    "Daboy" was born on March 3, 1953, the son of film director Gregorio Fernandez. He started his active film career in 1970 while a student at the University of Santo Tomas.

    He made a name for himself as an action star with "Bitayin si Baby Ama" in 1976 and gained further fame with "Ang Leon, Ang Tigre at ang Alamid" in 1979.

    The actor was also known for portraying true-to-life characters, including "Markang Bungo" in 1992.

    Fernandez won two FAMAS Best Actor awards for the action films "Batuigas...Pasukuin si Waway" in 1984 and "Victor Corpuz" in 1988.

    He received the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) 2008 Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th Star Awards for Movies.

    Also, he received the Film Academy of the Philippines FPJ Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Fernandez has one son, actor Mark Anthony Fernandez, with former partner Alma Moreno; and two children with actress Lorna Tolentino.

    In 2001, he ran for Quezon City under former President Joseph Estrada's Puwersa ng Masa but lost to Feliciano Belmonte Jr. - GMANews.TV

    nakakaawas but we all have to go, its just a matter of who goes first...

    cancer is an illness that when detected late would be almost impossible to be treated, stem cell may resolve or help in correcting cancer but to date it is still debatable with what is godly self righteous beings and scientist to are considered pagans for they believe that they are the divide eminence...

    going back to cancer and rudys story i was able to talk with his doctor, i think it was march 2008, before rudy left to states to undergo a series of treatment there, the doctor told me that rudys case is almost impossible to be treated anymore, sooner he will die, he will only be counting weeks at most months...

    anyway, my brother died of cancer as well several years ago so i grieve to all relatives and friends of cancer sufferers, right now all we could do is pray and for ourselves to be healthy=)
