UPDATE : Mario's Interment will be on April 16, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. proceeding from the St. Peter's Memorial Chapel, then to the Church of San Ildefonso de Toledo and finally at the Haven of Rest Memorial Park.
The video above and photo below were taken before midnight of April 13, with the permission of Amabel De Castro-Alcantara HS 68, Mario's eldest sister while the Holy Rosary was being prayed with singing by young Ildefonsians in between Mysteries. Outside of the Chapel, more friends gathered to mourn with Mario's Family, many of them Ildefonsians, too.

"Just want to remind everyone that Mario was the President of the College Student Council during his time. He was instrumental for a lively and active student body. How did I know this? I worked with him. I was responsible for HS activities and he, for college."
