Ang lungkot pala ng paglisan sa mundo ng director / writer na si Manny Castañeda.
Nadiskubre pala siya ng kanyang pamilya nang may kumakatok lang sa kanyang apartment pero hindi binubuksan ang door.
Hanggang sa sinabi na sa kamag-anak at doon lang nadiskubre ang kanyang katawan.
At kasama nga sa mga grabe ang paglukuksa sa kanya, si Sharon Cuneta na balik-ABS-CBN na.
Post ni ate Shawie:
“On one of the saddest days I have had to live through, I said “Goodbye…” to another dear friend. My “Inay Manny” was my first writer for my show (TSCS) from IBC-13 in 1986 to many years after we moved to ABS-CBN in 1988. We also did movies together. More than having fun and working well with each other, we became friends. Inay Manny was one of those I could trust with my innermost feelings, as well as expect to be comforted by, often ending in fits of laughter. He was loving, kind, witty and smart. I will miss him terribly. There is a whole novel I could say about him, but this has been another unwelcome punch in the gut. So I will end it here, in this way: I love you, Inay. Thank you for touching my life, doing a great job with me on my show, inspiring me to be better not just at work but as a person. Thank you for your friendship. My deepest, sincerest condolences to those he loved and left behind. Hugs especially to his best friend, my Direk Joey Reyes.@direkjoey #tscsfamilyforever.”
Pero dati na pala itong may sakit.
Ang amin pong pakikiramay.
