Bilang tagahanga at lingkod-bayan, karangalan kong makasama ang isang artistang tunay na minahal ng sambayanang Pilipino 9I will never forget that moment—when she was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cinemanila International Film Festival, led by Director Tikoy Aguiluz, held here in Taguig. As a fan and a public servant, I am honored to be with an artist truly loved by the Filipino people).
” “Ate Guy, salamat sa mga kwento mong tumagos sa puso ng bawat Pilipino—sa entablado man o sa likod ng kamera. Mananatiling buhay ang iyong tinig at talento sa aming alaala. Mula sa isang pusong humahanga at nagpapasalamat—paalam at maraming salamat, Superstar (Ate Guy, thank you for your stories that have touched the hearts of every Filipino—whether on stage or behind the camera.
Your voice and talent will remain alive in our memories. From a heart that admires and is grateful—farewell and thank you very much, Superstar),” wrote Cayetano..
