Redford White namaalam na!

SHOWBIZ DRIBBLE - Salve V. Asis -

Hindi ko ma-imagine na bukas na ang Metro­politan Theater. Eh sa tuwing dumaraan ako doon, parang ang dirty ng paligid. Nanga­nga­moy, madilim, at true, bad ang smell ng kapali­giran. Ang dami ring beggars sa paligid.

So, paano at bakit kaya ito binuksan? Para saan?

Meron kayang mangangahas na mag-pro­duce ng show doon? Or kung meron man, da­yuhin kaya ’yun?

I doubt it. Walang parking at ’yun nga, madilim pa naman ang paligid at amoy ihi pa.

Anyway, si Kuya German Moreno ang isa sa nagsisikap na buhayin ang nasabing lugar. Pero sa ngayon, hindi pa pansin ang nasabing effort ni Kuya Germs.

Matatagalan pa siguro siya na maibalik ang gan­da at linis ng dating maningning na Metro­po­litan Theater.

Tuluyan nang namaalam ang komedyanteng si Redford White, Cipriano M. Cermeno sa toto­ong buhay. Namatay siya sa mga complications dahil sa cancer sa kanyang lungs and brain.

Kailan lang lumabas ang blind item tungkol sa nasabing sakit ng komedyante.

Kasabay nang pagpanaw ng komedyante ang birthday ng Hari ng Komedya na si Dolphy ka­hapon.

Matagal nang wala sa eksena si Redford White dahil sa nasabing sakit. Pero ’pag tinatanong ito noon tung­kol sa sakit ay hindi ito umaamin.

Isa sa sobra-sobra ang kalungkutan sa pagkamatay ni Redford ay si Eric Quizon na matagal niyang nakasama sa Buddy en Sol.

“Today is one of the saddest days of my life. A truely honest and good man has passed away. Red was my partner. My Sol. We were One. I was the body, he was the soul. I was the vessel, he was the spirit. He was a man who believed in the craft and valued his work. He was pro­fessional and dedicated actor that everybody admired. Red – a good friend, wonderful father, a loving husband, and a faithful son of God. He is now one with his Creator. We love you Red. We will miss you,” ma­habang sabi ni Eric thru text message sa kanyang manager na si Tita Dolor Guevarra.

Malungkot din ang maraming iba pa niyang nakatrabaho.

Tweet ng ilan sa kanila:

“Masaya ako at nakatrabaho ko kahit isang beses lang sa buhay ko si redford white...,” Angelica Panganiban.

“Woke up to sad news :( Got a txt from Direk Wenn Deramas: R.I.P. Redford White. I will cherish our KOKEY days and remember u with a smile,” Ruffa Gutierrez.

“At 6:47AM today, my great friend, fellow diver, and a wonderful human being known to all as Redford White passed away peacefully.

“I was with him yesterday and we had our last hugs. I will miss you ‘pre. Love you. Your great spirit has left many sad,” sabi naman ni Jim Paredes.
