His siblings are Stephen, Brooke, Joshua, Kurt, and Gwyneth. Months after the operation, he accidentally killed his grandfather. Cyrus lives with his grandfather, Mang Justo, to whom he donated his own kidney. Known for his habit of swallowing objects after stealing them. In the end, he returns to his family and, although with doubt, is welcomed by his father, along with the rest of the family. He develops a good friendship with Cyrus' grandfather, Mang Justo, until he is shot (mistook for a monster) by Cyrus. After a quarrel with her sister, Lyla, he was asked by his own father to leave his house, calling him a "good for nothing". It was indicated that Noel was just a typical college student who eventually stopped studying because he lacks the money to afford his college test paper. He first appeared in the place on where Cyrus, Voltron and Jim were talking. Their family was once rich until a sudden slow down of business. The cover's background, mostly obscured by the bold typeset of the title and by the red color, depicts a toilet bowl. The title is derived from a slang term for difficult-to-flush feces - a reference to Douglas MacArthur's famous promise, "I shall return". Instead, it offers a gritty, realistic look at life in a Philippine slum community. It is also notable for its departure from the usual Bob Ong formula of using humor to comment on the various ironies of Filipino culture. As with all Bob Ong's published novels, it is notable for its use of contemporary street Filipino words.

Macarthur or the Red Book is a 2007 novel by Filipino author Bob Ong.
