Eddie Garcia's death sends celebrities into mourning

Lubos na nagluluksa ang Philippines showbiz sa pagpanaw ng multi-awarded actor-director na si Eddie Garcia ngayon, June 20.

Ilang sandali matapos lumabas ang medical bulletin na nagkukumpirma ng kanyang pagkamatay, bumuhos ang mga mensahe ng pagdadalamhati mula sa mga kaibigan at mga nakatrabahong artista ng veteran actor.

“My heart is broken,” ani Megastar Sharon Cuneta tungkol sa kanyang naging unang 'daddy' sa showbiz.

Sinabi rin niya, “Maraming salamat po, Mr. Eddie Garcia.

“Walang sinuman sa showbiz ngayon o kahit sa mga ipanganganak pa ang puedeng umupo sa tronong iniwan ninyo.”

Bukod sa pagiging co-star, si Eddie rin ang nagsilbing director na ilang mga naunang pelikula ni Sharon.

I just saw this...My dear God, it is so hard to accept this...I love you, my Direk, my Tito Eddie...Thank you for all that you gave me, us...It is truly the end of an era. Hindi na maaaring ibalik ang napakaganda at kagalang-galang na kagandahan ng showbiz noon...Kokonti na lang ang mga artistang “old school” na napakalaki ng kontribusyon sa industriya at sa puso ng bawat Pilipino, at marunong trumato ng katrabaho ng tama, sikat man o “maliliit” ang tingin sa trabaho nila pero malaki naman talaga ang naibibigay sa ating mga artista. Maraming salamat po, Mr. Eddie Garcia. Walang sinuman sa showbiz ngayon o kahit sa mga ipanganganak pa ang puedeng umupo sa tronong iniwan ninyo...Mahal na mahal ko po kayo...May you rest in God's arms and we, those who have had the privilege of working with you, shall remember all that you stand for, and do our best to keep your legacy alive, because you have made us all a part of it...💔💔💔 My heart is broken...

I was hoping you would wake up. Clinging feverishly to hope. But I guess it was time to let you go. I am truly heartbroken Tito Eddie. But I'm so thankful that I had the chance to work with you just a couple weeks ago. They say the best way to go is when you're asleep or when you're doing what you love. You achieved both. Goodbye now and sleep well forever... #EddieGarcia #RIP #YouWillBeMissed
