Image: Instagram/@racheljalejandro, @alynnav Rachel Alejandro expressed her gratitude to Alynna Velasquez, the longtime partner of the former’s dad Hajji Alejandro, for her love for the late singer. Despite a seeming division between Velasquez and Hajji’s family due to their earlier “conflict,” the former elicited a message from Rachel via a Facebook post on Thursday, April 24.
Velasquez, who said she was unable to visit Hajji’s wake due to “reasons she does not have control of,” reshared Rachel’s tribute to her dad and described them as the “best father and daughter team.” “I love you both,” Velasquez said in her caption. “The strength of your bond and mutual support is immeasurable.
The impact you have on your audience is so strong that every show is a lasting memory.” “I will miss you both being on the same stage singing and dancing together,” she continued. “ Rachel , remember that your dad’s mighty proud of you.
Always. He will always be there in your heart singing with you. Our ANGELito.
” Rachel took the time to respond and wrote in the comments section, “Thank you for loving him.” Image: Facebook/Alynna Velasquez Meanwhile, in a separate post, Velasquez acknowledged questions about her absence from Hajji’s wake but said she could not answer them at this time. “I am sorry I can’t answer your questions right now.
I want to respect the privacy of those who are not involved. But one day, I will,” she vowed. “Thank you for your messages.
.. All the love and beautiful messages make me smile despite the sadness and longing for the man I love,” she continued.
“Thank you for giving us time to grieve.” Hajji succumbed to stage 4 colon cancer last April 21 at the age of 70. His condition was first made public in March by Velasquez after photos of the late OPM singer from when he was hospitalized made rounds on social media.
