‘I’m the only reason why you are still living...’ batikang aktor, naka-last dinner ng manager

MANILA, Philippines — Todo rin ang pagdadalamhati ng manager ng mahusay na actor.

Post ni Jamela Santos na walang taong nagmahal sa kanya tulad nang ginawa ni Lolo Sir at nanghihingi siya ng tulong para makayanan ang lahat.

“No human being had loved me the way you did.  I will forever grieve from this loss. Mahal na mahal kita, Pepe!

You’ve loved me until your last breath.. I will be grieving until the day I die.. Ang sakeeeet,. sobra !!!! Lord please help me.”

Last December 15 ay nag-dinner pa raw sila na aniya ay parang despedida party na rin dahil mag-aabroad siya.

“This is my last dinner with him last Friday, Dec 15.. It’s supposed to be my despedida dinner because I’m leaving for abroad soon..

“Only to know that this will be the last time I’m going to see him..

“He even gave me 3 white equadorian roses.. an unusual gesture,” ayon sa post nito.

“You always tell me that I’m the only reason why you are still living.. That’s the reason why I didn’t leave the country as much as I used to. That’s the reason why I will.drop.everthing whenever you invite me for coffee or drinks. Because i know someday you’re going to leave me. But I never thought you’re going to leave me this soon...

“How can I ever endure this pain??? How can I go on with my life?? Bangungot ba to??

“I’ve never cared for another human being as much as I cared and love you. Thank you Pepe for making me realized I am capable of caring that much for a person..

I” cannot bear this pain... Lord... please help me

“Te amo tanto mucho, Pepe”

Lolit, Gary, Dimples, apektado...

Pinagluksa rin ng talent manager/showbiz columnist na si Lolit Solis ang biglaang pagpanaw batikan at beteranong aktor.

Naalala niya na isa ito sa naging mabait nung uumpisa siya bilang reporter.

“’Pag pumasok ka sa movies at baguhan kang reporter tapos ‘yung mga unang artistang mabait sa ‘yo, nare-remember mo ‘yon, eh. May melankoliya kang napi-feel pagka ano may nangyari sa kanila, parang ganu’n,” umpisa ni ‘Nay Lolit kahapon sa isang Christmas lunch kasama ang ilang kaibigang entertainment press na ginanap sa Mesa Restaurant sa Tomas Morato.

“Ano siya, ‘yung baklitang-baklita! ‘Yung parang ‘pag nagkikita kayo, ‘halika, Lolit, chuchu.’ Tapos ano siya, ‘yung alam niya lahat ng tsismis, ‘alam mo, kaya naghiwalay ang dalawang ‘yan…, parang ganu’n. Tawanan kami nang tawanan!

“Talagang ano siya, very friendly. ‘Yun ang pinaka-ano, may warm, totoo ‘yung pagkabait. ‘Di ba ‘yung ibang mga artista, alam mo kapag kunyari, nakikisakay lang sa ’yo, nakikiano, ‘di ba? Siya, hindi. Talagang magkapantay kayo, parang ganu’n.”

Hanggang nabanggit niya na ibang-iba ang mga artista noong panahon nila, nagiging parang barkada raw nila ang mga ito.

Hindi siya agad makapaniwala na wala na si Ronaldo Valdez kaya’t hirap daw siyang tanggapin ang pagkawala nito.

Post naman ni Gary Valenciano : “You were one person who I loved to watch. Your authenticity never failed to move me. Thank you sir Ronaldo Valdez. I never had a chance to work much with you but in those few moments I spent talking with you, it made me feel blessed to know that I got to meet someone like you. Rest in His peace sir I know His embrace will always keep you smiling”

Maging si Dimples Romana ay matindi ang lungkot: “2009 was a rough year for me both as a person and as an actress. It was a time when I felt lost and broken. Spent and exhausted.

“Dalawang araw lang ng taping namin ng MMK episode na ito directed by @henrykingq with Nay @rodacd1 and already, my faith in life, love and my craft was renewed. You were always full of joy, of life and gratitude your smile lit up the set. Your warmth melted everyone’s hearts. You have that gift. And I will always be grateful po for all the learnings, the laughter and the lessons that came with lots of smiles and realizations. And super tight hugs.

My heart is broken but will never be disheartened. For you Lolo taught me to brave the huge waves of life with a spirit of a warrior whose armor is not made of steel but is made of love. The kind that endures all and conquers even the darkest of days.

“Salute to one of the greatest actors of all time for me. A man who knew how to value not only his work but more importantly every single other person on and off set. Mahal ka namin Lo. Mahal na mahal. Pahinga na po.”
