Tribute message of Marc Logan to Mario Dumaual
MARC LOGAN – The broadcast journalist took to social media wherein he paid tribute to the late showbiz reporter Mario Dumaual.
Mario, 64, passed away at 8:01 a.m. on Wednesday, July 5, due to septic shock, a condition that sometimes occurs in severe sepsis, wherein blood pressure drops and the organs fail to receive sufficient oxygen.
He is survived by his wife Cherie, five children – Luigi, Miguel, Maxine, William, and Thessa – and three grandchildren – Sky, Alonzoe, and Tali – as well as his siblings.
According to his wife, Mario had been battling a severe fungal infection, which was a complication during his recovery from a heart attack. He was hospitalized for a month at the Philippine Heart Center.
His wife stressed that Mario Dumaual kept fighting, overcoming the heart attack and a subsequent cardiac arrest. She added that he would always express his desire to go home because he missed his family. However, the infection overwhelmed his body’s ability to recover.
Among those who paid respect to the veteran entertainment reporter is no less than broadcast journalist Marc Logan. Here’s the tribute message of Marc Logan
“Alam ko kabisado ko at sigurado ako kahit nakapikit kayang umukit ni Kuya Mario ng isang obra ng pagbabalita. Masarap makinig sa kanyang mga kwento. Kapag siya ang tumipa. Bawat titik at baybay punong puno ito ng buhay. Mapalad ako na naka trabaho ang isang tulad mo. Minsan nang nagretiro si Kuya Mariod noong siya ay naging Senior Citizen. Pero nung ako ang humawak ng Entertainment Desk ng News and Current Affairs, hindi ko maatim na may Star News ang TV Patrol pero walang Mario Dumaual. Hindi kumpleto ang landscape ng balitang showbiz kung wala si Kuya Mario. Pinakiusapan ko sya na bumalik bilang consultant sa ilalim ng aking entertainment family kasama sina MJ Felipe at Ganiel Krishnan. Isa sa huling balitang showbiz ni Kuya Mario ay nung ikasal ako kay Lois Logan noong January 10, 2023. Na sabi mo hindi ka interesadong i cover. Pero andun ka. Hindi mo ako binigo. Napakabuti mong kaibigan Kuya. Hindi ko malilimutan ang mga payo mo sa akin tungkol sa buhay at kung paano itama ang bawat hakbang ko para sa kinabukasan ng aking pamilya lalong lalo na si Curry. Mahal kita Kuya Mario. Pasensya ka na tinawag kitang Kuya. Ikaw naman kasi di ka nagtitina ng buhok. You will forever be missed. Rest in Eternal Peace Mario. Kuya…”
