TARLAC CITY, Philippines –

A tragic death of a teen superstar in The Philippines has sent a shock wave through this tight knit, entertainment crazed island nation.

Television actor Antonilo Joseph Perez, better known as AJ Perez, and one of the stars in the popular Filipino drama series "Sabel," was killed when the van he was in slammed into a bus.

The accident took place in Moncada, Tarlac. Five people were also injured. Tarlac died at a nearby hospital.

As my readership knows, I live in Cerritos, California just outside of downtown Los Angeles.

Cerritos has one of the largest and most influential Filipino-American communities outside of Manila.

AJ Perez has a huge following here. I am sure that his death will sadden many here in our area.

It is being reported that Perez and his entourage were traveling to the Metro Manila when they met the accident along the MacArthur Highway in Barangay San Julian, Moncada happened. Perez’s group came from a show in Dagupan City.

The victims were taken by their companions on another vehicle to the Rayos Valentin Hospital in Paniqui town but doctors there failed to revive Perez.

He was 17 at the time of his passing. If you have a comment about AJ, and his passing, and are in The Philippines, please share your thoughts to my readers....

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
