A 40-year old Army officer collapsed and died of a heart
attack during the 21-km Condura Skyway Marathon Run at Alabang Skyway on
Sunday.
Major Arnold F. Lubang was declared dead on arrival by the
attending physician at Asian Hospital and Medical
Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa City
after suffering from cardiac arrest barely one kilometer away from the finish
line.
Lubang, member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA)
Class 2000 is said to be very enthusiastic in participating various running
events according to his classmates.
“He actively participates in various running events. We were
shock upon receiving the report on the death of our Mistah (classmate in the
PMA),” Major Joey Capirig said.
Capirig also described Lubang as an achiever, a fighter and
among the best officers of the Philippine Army.
Lubang was also selected as best junior officer of the year
during his stint as company commander in the 4th Infantry Division in Cagayan
De Oro City.
He was awarded the Gold Cross Medal in 2003, the third
highest award for bravery in combat.
Meanwhile, the Philippine Army sent 100 personnel to
participate in the said running event initiated by the Condura Incorporated.
