Janine Gutierrez continues to mourn her two grandmothers Nora Aunor and Pilita Corrales, and talked about her feelings on her Instagram Broadcast Channel.
The actress said that it's the first time in ten days that she's not at a wake.
She revealed that as soon as their family got home in the afternoon from Pilita’s wake on April 16, they got news that Nora had passed away.
“It's been difficult and even unbelievable,” Janine said, but added that the public’s support and love have helped their family.
She thanked everybody for their thoughts and prayers.
“We love you so much, everyone who sent a message, dropped by or had us and our lolas in your mind.”
Janine said that she was initially set to travel during the Holy Week but decided to just stay at home.
“Sabi ko mag-ayos nalang ako ng bahay at mag-aral ng script. Buti nalang hindi na ako umalis,” Janine said. “Mamita passed away on my first free day and we buried Mama Guy on my last.”
“Driving to my location today, I think of my two new angels and how they always powered through. I think of how I can continuously make them proud,” she added. “It gives me comfort to know there are many of us who will always have them in our hearts. Thank you.”
Pilita Corrales, also known as Asia's Queen of Songs, passed away last April 12 at the age of 87.
National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Nora Aunor passed away on April 16 at 71. According to her son Ian De Leon, she died of acute respiratory failure.
She was honored with a necrological funeral service and was laid to rest at the Libingan ng mga Bayani on Tuesday.
Nora and Pilita, as well as Gloria Romero and Margarita Fores will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit with a ceremony on May 4. It is one of the highest awards conferred by a Philippine president to individuals in recognition of their contribution to nation-building. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
