Since rumors about Cannes-winning actress Jaclyn Jose's death made the rounds on social media, Andi Eigenmann's social media accounts have been silent.

On March 5, Tuesday, a day after she appeared publicly to give a statement on her mother's passing, Andi shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram stories. 

"Ika'y nasa araw, sa ulan, at sa hangin na aking nilalasap. Umaawit ng kantang puno ng pag-asa at ligaya. Wala na ang sakit. Wala na ang takot. Makikita kita sa mga ulap, maririnig ang iyong mga bulong ng pagmamahal. Magkikita din tayong muli. Sa ngayon didinggin ko muna ang iyong mga awit."

Andi, who is Jaclyn's only daughter with the late actor Mark Gil, revealed that her mom died of heart attack on Saturday morning, March 2. She was 60. 

Andi's eldest daughter, Ellie, meanwhile shared photos with Jaclyn on her Instagram account.

Celebrities pay tribute to Jaclyn Jose

Jaclyn had been a mother figure to several Filipino celebrities. Her fellow actors shared their tributes on social media.

Iza Calzado posted on Instagram on March 4, saying how shocked she was about Jaclyn's sudden passing.

Iza worked with Jaclyn in several projects, including the TV series, Te Amo Maging Sino Ka Man, Eternity, and Kahit Puso'y Masugatan.

"You treated me like a daughter and I looked up to you as a mentor and mother. Jane Guck or Nanay Jane I would fondly call you. Our shared love for tequila and rockstars made us click. You were both generous and kind with your words of encouragement and support be it on or off cam. You were also very stern when you needed to be. That’s one of the best things about you — napakatotoo mo," Iza wrote.

"If it’s not too much to ask, I know they’re busy. They have their own lives. Andi has a family. My son is studying so hard. Pero gusto ko na sana lagi nila akong naaalala."

You will never be forgotten, Ms. Jaclyn Jose. May you rest in paradise.
