Manny Amador has passed away at his apartment in Baranggay Lahug, Cebu City. DZMM reports that he died of a cardiac arrest.
Manny was the lead guitarist of The Breed. Their debut album, Free, with ten hard rockin’ tracks included Black Mercedes Benz. Many of the band's songs were written by Manny and willnever be the same again.
Manny went back to Cebu but still played music. He has this band, Wall Of Sound, and would play here at Metro Manila for gigs.
He was also one of The Internet's 10 Most Influential Filipinos by being a freelance writer and IT consultant. He owns a small company, magNET Communications, is into web development, with www.iconn.com.ph/magnet/, www.xstitch.com.ph and the Philippine League for Democratic Telecommunicators, Inc.(PLDTI).
From an article by the authors of WIRED! Phil., Manny was sharing his "Visions for the Net."
"Amador envisions a "competitive, innovative industry that can make a significant and positive contribution to the economic, intellectual, and even spiritual development of our country," which can be achieved by having ready and affordable access to the Internet and telecommunications facilities.
"In the short term, we will fight tooth and nail against the imposition of mandatory metering on local calls. For the future, however, we intend to work on the dismantling of monopolistic structures in telecommunications and related sectors." He mentions the overhaul of RA 7925 to make it pro-consumer, scraping of the SAS to encourage competition, better anti-monopoly laws, anti-metering laws, and promotion of the wide use of innovative technologies in telecommunications as some of the battles to be faced. He adds, "These may sound like lofty goals for a small organization that doesn't have enough money to place an ad in the papers, but I believe that being on the side of truth and justice brings with it blessings and moral strength."
We will miss you Sir Manny.
I could not find any better vid...
RIP.
Padayon.
