NAGDADALAMHATI ngayon ang local showbiz sa pagpanaw ni Mary Jane Guck a.k.a Jacklyn Jose.

Nitong March 3, mabilis na kumalat ang balita kahit wala pang official statement mula sa pamilya nito. Nauna pa nating nalaman ang balita sa social media kaysa sa pahayag ng kanyang mismong pamilya. Sa isang pahayag, lumalabas na pinick-up ang post ng isang entertainment journalist hinggil dito. Browsing the initial postings and published reports, I hardly read that the news was picked up from Jaclyn’s daughter Andi Eigenmann or son Gwen Garimond. ‘Di ba usually, mismong kapamilya ng namatay ang nagiging source ng balita? But in this case, it was just like a blind item that spread like a wildfire. Such a disrespect to the departed and the bereaved family. Tinapon na nang ilan sa ating kabaro sa pamamahayag ang respeto at ethics sa ngalan ng engagement at virality ng balita.

Nitong Lunes, March 4, naglabas na ng official statement ang mismong anak na si Andi hinggil sa pagkamatay ng kanyang ina. Accordingly, the multi-awarded actress died of heart attack in the morning of March 2, Saturday (and not Sunday as erroneously reported in other news articles). This should now end speculations circulating online, following the realease of official statement. Andi asks the public for respect and privacy during their grieving.

Sa kabilang banda, ilang beses na rin naming nasulat ang seasoned actress dahil sa kanyang ‘di matatawarang husay sa pag-arte. Jane, as she was fondly called, made a significant contribution to the entertainment industry. She made the country proud when she clinched the Best Actress trophy in the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 for her role in Brillante Mendoza’s ‘Ma’Rosa’, making her the first Pinay to achieve such an international recognition. And this article serves our last tribute to one of this generation’s legendary artists.

Rest in peace, Jane! Para sa amin, nag-iisa ka. May katulad ka pa kaya? Just asking…
