By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Magkaagaw actress Sheryl Cruz remembers the late great master showman, German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, a day before his birthday, October 3.

Sheryl, who became part of the Wednesday Group of That's Entertainment, recalled her wonderful memories with Kuya Germs, who passed away on January 8, 2016. He was 82.

“I am very fortunate to have been blessed with a tatay like him who helped me hone my talents in acting, singing, dancing, and hosting in the entertainment industry starting with the youth-oriented variety program, 'That's Entertainment' as well as GMA's 'Super Show,'” she tells her audience.

“Kuya Germs is like a teacher and a father to me in the workplace, away from home. He was also my confidante off-cam, and if I needed an ally, I could certainly count on him.”

Sheryl then thanked her Wednesday group mates and Kuya Germs's family for changing the course of her life at a young age.

“To my fellow Wednesday group mates, keep safe. And though we don't talk or often see each other as often as we'd like to, all of you are part of my memories.

“Keep safe everyone in 'That's Entertainment' as well as my colleagues in 'Super Show.'

“Finally, to the family of Kuya Germs, thank you for including me in your showbiz family. Maligayang kaarawan sa nag-iisang master showman, German Moreno. Mananatili kayong nasa puso at isipan ko.”
