I mean, I just did. Because it was a rarity then to have teen stars around his age(13) when most TV stations would cast 20 somethings on teen shows most of the time. It helped also that he was kinda cute. :''>
Fast forward 2010-2011, his star was rising when he was cast as one of the male leads of Sabel.
On April 16 2011 at around 11:40, his van got into an accident while overtaking a truck and bumped into a bus. AJ was pronounced dead on arrival at around 12:20 this morning due to multiple head injuries. He was reportedly sleeping when the accident took place, his head leaning in the window which was on the side where the van got hit by the bus. The other people with him in the van got injured but none met the same fate AJ did.
It's so sad. He was a rising star of 18 and he had an untimely death.
So the news of his death got everybody shocked. I mean, this was the first thing that greeted me this morning right after I woke up. When I already logged in to my Tumblr account, I instantly saw the news of his death there. Of course being the person who likes to make sure, I, erm, had to make sure if this rumor was not true but unfortunately it was. Nakakalungkot naman. I am not a huge fan of his but I did like him.
My friend actually cried(that was what she said) because of his demise. "Panu kaya kung mamamatay si Elmo Magalona?" Girl, wag kang nega. :P
A member of Teentalk said that she watched in a New Year episode of some show on GMA that someone predicted a young actor would be killed in a car accident this year. OMG. There are people also saying that it must be the Lasallian curse. I've heard others saying that AJ's death is very similar to that of Rico Yan and Marky Cielo who also died while sleeping.
This was AJ's last tweet. Boy, I bet no one suspected that it would be the last one the actor will make:
Rest in peace, AJ Perez and condolences to his family and friends who are in mourning
