“Still devastated. Still grieving from the loss of a friend. Still can’t believe it,” ito ang bungad ni Alfred Vargas, konsehal ng ika-limang distrito ng Quezon City sa kanyang Instagram account tungkol sa namayapang si Cherie Gil.
Naging malapit sa isa’t isa sina Konsi Alfred at Cherie sa pelikulang Kaputol noong 2019 na idinirek ni Mac Alejandre base sa video post nito.
May eksenang pareho silang umiinom ng beer at panay din ang kain ng mani ng premyadong aktres habang nakikinig sa kuwento ng aktor na pinapanood nito ang mga pelikula niya.
Say ni Alfred, “You know what, I’ve always admired your works. Totoo ang ganda, eh. Alam mo ‘yung first movie mo, ang bata ko pa nu’n.”
Sabay bato ni Cherie ng mani at sinabing, “Konti lang ng age difference natin, ‘no?”
Pero ang totoo, 18 years ang gap ng edad nila.
Bukod sa video ay inilabas din ng aktor/pulitiko ang ilang clips sa pelikulang Kaputol at mga still pictures.
Ang caption ni Konsi Alfred, “Cherie and I worked together in the internationally award-winning film, Kaputol, directed by Mac Alejandre @macalejandre, in 2019. Dito kami naging close.
“Kaming dalawa ang main cast ng movie na ito written by National Artist, Ricky Lee. As an actor, bilib na bilib ako sa kanya, lalo na on how she approached the craft. Grabe ang focus niya sa character and she really is one of the best actresses in Philippine cinema history. I’m proud to have worked with her several times. The last project we did together was GMA’s Legal Wives.
“The times that I really appreciated Cherie were the times behind the scenes. In between takes.
The long tengga hours of waiting on the set.
“She was such a lady who knew how to converse. She imparted wisdom naturally and eloquently. She was so sincere in everything that she said you always knew that she spoke the truth. She’d tell you straight out with honesty what she thinks and how she feels. It doesn’t matter if it pleased you or not. No BS with Cherie. That’s what I liked about her.”
Malalim ang naging bonding ng dalawang premyadong bida ng seryeng Legal Wives dahil may ilang personal na silang pinag-usapan.
Sa pagpapatuloy ni Alfred, “The last conversation we had was on the set of Legal Wives.
While waiting for our scene beside Lake Caliraya, we talked about sustainable development and how this new Pinoy company is making innovations in terms of ecology-friendly house designs.
“Her face lit up telling me about her farm in Bukidnon and how she loved staying there. She also shared to me her plans that time of going to New York. She wanted to study further and live the New Yorker life. We laughed a lot that afternoon until I was called to shoot my scene.
“Little did I know, 'yun na pala ang huling beses kong makakasama ang aking kaibigan na si Ms. Cherie Gil.
“Rest in peace, Cherie. Til we meet again (emoji praying hands).
“Sharing with you guys some of our clips in Kaputol.”
