At about 1230 PM Philippine time on April 10 2009, I received bad news back home, untimely death of Marifold "Mac" Caranto, at the Pangasinan hospital; as we are here in Saudi Arabia.
On hearing the news we felt saddened, me and my wife express our deep symphaty to his immediate family and the Caranto family.
I said to myself, it was a sense of great loss not only to his family and caranto family but the community including his Esting "Mac" Caranto Orchestra & his group of musicians; as he was a good man, a good friend and a musical composer.
