Multi-awarded actress and singer Sharon Cuneta admitted on Instagram that moving on after the death of her good friend Cherie Gil is a difficult one.

The showbiz icon passed away at the age of 59 on August 5, after her brave battle against cancer. Miss Cherie was diagnosed with a rare form of endometrial cancer in October 2021.

Sharon, who had the privilege to work with Cherie in the box office movie Bituing Walang Ningning in 1985 took to Instagram to share the last present, her dearest Lavinia gave to her.

“This was Cherie's last present to me which she gave me the last time we had dinner together at Shangri-la Makati's Japanese Restaurant.

“She handed it to me beautifully gift-wrapped. And when I opened it, we hugged. That was Cherie. As mataray as she was in her movies, she was as sweet in real life. Our joke was mas mataray nga ako sa kanya 'di nyo lang alam.”

In a separate Instagram post, the Megastar expressed how much she will miss her, now that she's not around anymore. Sharon wrote, “It hurts so much…I want to text to ask you if I can call, but remember you aren't ever gonna reply or pick up again…I want to hug you even tighter than I did the last time I was able to, when I was allowed to, alone with you in your room, before you were taken away.”

She continued, “Did you see me put your stuffed bear that your Mama gave you back in the crook of your right arm as you so peacefully slept, never to open those beautiful eyes again? Did you hear every word I said to you then? I don't know when moving on happens anymore…I miss you and always will…I love you so very much and forever will.”

Sharon also expressed her profound gratitude to Cherie for the “genuine friendship” they built through the years.

“Rest in peace, sweetheart. Thank you for your genuine friendship, and for being the best in all the movies we did together…I've always looked up to you and idolized you since you were President of our Glee Club in St. Paul Pasig when you were in 7th grade and I was in 5th.

“Funny how God brought us together to be partners with the best “magkaaway” chemistry ever on screen. You will always be my partner, no matter how brilliant my coming co-stars shall be…Please look after me, love.”
