By Jansen Ramos

Nagluluksa ang aktres at dating beauty queen na si Liza Diño sa pagpanaw ng kanyang lola na si Teofista Bautista. Yumao ang huli sa edad na 91.

Ayon sa Film Development Council of the Philippines chairperson, ang lola niya ang dahilan kung bakit siya nahilig sa pelikula.

Dating theater checker ang kanyang lola para sa movie production house ni dating pangulong Joseph "Erap" Estrada na JE Productions.

Bahagi ni Liza sa Instagram, "Mommy (not Lola), as we call her, is the reason why I fell in love with films.

"Working as a theater checker then for former president Joseph Estrada's movie production, JE productions, she used to bring me with her to the cinemas and every time she does her work, she would leave me inside the movie house to watch films all day.

"So growing up, I will spend the whole day in various stand-alone cinemas in Cubao and other movie houses around Metro Manila just to watch Filipino films. Since then, my love for cinema has grown and the rest is history.

"So mommy, THANK YOU for everything. Mahal na mahal ka po namin. Pahinga ka na. Alam ko na happy ka dahil finally, you are reunited with Daddy (our lolo). We will miss you. Love you mommy!"

Nagpasalamat din si Liza sa mga nakiramay sa kanilang pamilya.

Dugtong niya, "Sa inyo pong lahat, thank you again for your support and prayers. It has been such an emotional week for our family and we appreciate all the love we received from you. "

Samantala, nagbigay-pugay din ang asawa ni Liza na si Ice Seguerra sa kanilang "mommy."

Sa Instagram post ng singer at dating child star, nagbalik-tanaw siya sa masasayang alaala kasama ang yumaong si Teofista na itinuring din niyang lola.

Sulat niya, "Isang lola lang naabutan ko and she passed away when I was 4 years old. Nung naging kami ni Liza, nagkaroon ako ng bagong lola and we all called her 'Mommy.'

"Masarap kasama si Mommy. Jeprox, mahilig sa games, masayang kakwentuhan at mahal ng lahat. Masaya ako na kahit sandali, nagkaroon ako ulit ng lola. Yun nga lang, bitin.

"I wish we had more time, Mommy. Pero no more pain na at mas makakapagpahinga ka na. Makakalakad ka na ulit nang walang nakaakay at hindi mo na kailangan ng wheelchair. I love you, Mommy. Rest in eternal love and light.
