Sunshine Dizon gets emotional over the death of 'Ika-6 Na Utos' stunt director Baldo Marro

By Catherine Doña

Sunshine Dizon did not hold back her grief over the passing of famous stuntman/actor Baldo Marro. She posted a lengthy message on her Instagram about the man she calls "Tatay Baldo." 

At first, she recounted how much of a perfectionist Marro is on the set of Ika-6 Na Utos. Marro served as the stunt director of the number one daytime program.

"S'ya po ang gumawa ng lahat ng madugo at nag trending na stunt scenes sa #ika6nautos. Alam din ni tatay lahat ng deprensya ko sa balikat, at likod pero parati nyang nagagawaan ng paraan. He also pushed me to do things na di ko pa nagawa dati. Pinayagan din n'ya ko mag stunt driving. Nalulungkot s'ya 'pag mahaba ang stunt scene tapos minsan napuputol sa editing. Perfectionist din sya at kadalasan ay strict dahil sa sobrang ingat na walang masasaktan sa set."

After lauding Marro's work on Ika-6 Na Utos, Sunshine recalled her most unforgettable memory of the man who let her hold his Best Actor trophy for the movie 'Patrolman.' Sunshine played Marro's young daughter in the said film. 

"Pero ang 'di ko malilimutan ay nung naging anak n'ya ako sa pelikulang “PATROLMAN” I was nominated for best child performer lahat sila sinabi mananalo daw ako I was only 4 or 5 years old and I expected somehow that I will win pero ibang bata ang nanalo. Sa sobrang iyak ko nun parang batang naagawan ng candy. Nung tinawag na si Tatay at nanalo ng Best Actor sinama nya ako on stage at ako ang pinahawak ng trophy nya at sabi sakin anak 'wag ka na umiyak panalo na din daw ako. I remember he was giving his speech ako may hawak ng award ni Tatay at feeling ko nanalo nga din ako. At 'yun ang di ko malilimutan kay Tatay sa lahat ng pagkakataon na nag kasama at nag katrabaho kami."

At the end of her post, Sunshine revealed her only regret before learning of Marro's death today, October 22. 

"Tay I only regret that na di kita nabista nung nasa ospital ka kala po kasi naming lahat nag papalakas na lang po kayo. Salamat po sa lahat ng 'di malilimutang mga eksena [na] ginawa mo para samin. Salamat at mapalad din po ako na I can call you Tatay. We love you, tay and we will surely miss you."
