Pumanaw kahapon si Direk Arlyn dela Cruz na former ABS-CBN reporter din.
Anim na taon na palang nakikipaglaban sa sakit na cancer ni Ms. Arlyn.
Kahapon ay ipinost ng kanyang dalawang anak ang confirmation ng kanyang pagpanaw gamit ang Facebook account ng kanilang ina. “Earlier today, our mother passed away after six years of battling colon cancer. During those years, she has produced, written and directed several films, had two art exhibits and continued her relentless pursuit for the truth.
“The disease did not conquer her zest for life and adventure; and she approached every new day armed with her razor-sharp wit and creativity.
“We thank everyone who has sent thoughts and prayers our way. We will share details of her wake as soon as they are finalized.
- Katrina Greta and Dominique”
Maraming nagawang indie film si Direk Arlyn kabilang na ang Maratabat.
Rest In Peace, Direk Arlyn.
