Sharon Cuneta at Ate Shawee
NGAYON lang nalamam ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta na pumanaw na ang kanyang impersonator na si Ate Shawee o Marvin Martinez sa tunay na buhay nang dahil sa liver cirrhosis.
Kaya naman shocked ang singer-actress sa pag-uwi niya sa Pilipinas mula sa Amerika at mabalitaan na patay na ang kanyang favorite impersonator.
Paliwanag ni Mega, mula raw noong dumating siya sa US ay hindi na niya binuksan ang kanyang Philippine phone at i-open lang niya ito pagdating sa Manila.
Nag-post si Sharon ng litrato ni Ate Shawee sa Instagram kalakip ang kanyang mensahe para sa yumaong komedyante, “We love you. Rest in peace…I had deliberately, totally ignored my Philippine phones in the U.S. and enjoyed the radio silence using only my U.S. phone.
“I hardly checked all my social media platforms and went on them to post then rarely, read and reply to some of your comments.
“So it was a SHOCK to me to find out that my Official and favorite impersonator, Marvin, our Ate Shawee, had been sick and passed away…I sincerely, deeply am affected by his passing.
“I appreciated and adored Marvin and in those lean years of my career when I was too fat to work, seriously even worried about what Marvin would be able to do impersonating me and getting any jobs at all.
“Now he is gone. And not just Marvin…I will spare you details of others I have lost recently too, as well as what I have been having to deal with. May mga dinadala pa po ako ngayon pero ayoko ng sad kayo kaya pakipagdasal na lang po ako,” pahayag ni Mega.
Aniya pa, “Salamat sa Dios okay naman kami ng pamilya ko kaya yun ang importante. Kaya rin po kahapon pa ako ng umaga nakabalik sa Manila, pero quiet na quiet lang po ako dahil may mga problemang kailangan lagpasan.
“Never naman ako pinabayaan ng Panginoon kaya sure ako lilipas din ito. Anyway – back to Marvin…my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones…
“Napakasakit nito sa akin at sa aking Sharonians. Mahal na mahal ko si Marvin at wala akong kamalay-malay kahit nung may sakit siya dahil I was in ‘escape mode’ for peace kahit sandali lang sa Amerika. I love you and always will, my Ate Shawee, my Marvin.
“Maraming salamat sa pagmamahal, marespetong pagganap sa akin at pagpapaligaya sa aming lahat. Mamimiss kita talaga…may God bless and embrace your loved ones through this most difficult time…,” mensahe pa ng nag-iisang Megastar.
