"Sure ako na broken hearted , at very sad si Joshua. Our deepest sympathy sa pamilya," says veteran entertainment columnist Lolit Solis on former President Noynoy Aquino's passing.
Following the news of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's death from renal failure on June 24, 2021, messages of sympathy come pouring in from public figures.
Veteran showbiz columnist Lolit Solis reflected on the former president's death and it's impact on his nephew, Joshua Aquino, the eldest son of Kris Aquino.
"Bigla naalala ko si Joshua nang mabalita na namatay si dati President Benigno 'P'noy' Aquino, Salve," Lolit began in her post.
"Kasi nga alam ng lahat how close si Joshua sa uncle Noynoy niya. Hindi nga ba pinili ni Joshua na sa Tarlac tumira kasama nito dahil nga ganun siya kalapit dito.
"Nabigla ang lahat, dahil hindi naman nabalita na nagkasakit o meron sakit ang dating pangulo.
"Bata pa sa edad na 61, pero siguro nga wala sa taon ang pagtawag sa iyo ni God pag gusto ka na niyang makasama. Sure ako na broken hearted, at very sad si Joshua."
The talent manager also emphasized Josh's closeness to his uncle, who chose to live with the former president in the family's home in Quezon City. "At tulad ng mother nila na si Tita Cory na sa Times Street tumira after Malacañang, duon din nag stay si Noynoy at pabalik balik lang sa Tarlac. Lately nga nasa kanya si Joshua dahil sa closeness nito sa uncle niya."
Lolit also expressed her condolences for the Aquino family.
"Our deepest sympathy sa pamilya Aquino na nagda dalamhati ngayon dahil sa pagkamatay ng nag iisang lalaki nilang kapatid. Malaking kawalan para kila Ballsy, Pinky, Viel at Kris ang pagkawala ng parang rock nila dahil nga si P'noy lang ang male figure sa kanila after namatay ang kanilang father.
She ended her post urging everyone to pray for the former president's "peaceful journey."
Lolit said, "Pagdasal natin ang peaceful journey ni dating President Aquino, dilaw, puti, blue, berde, walang kulay na dapat ikapit sa pakikiramay. Grieving ang pamilya Aquino, kailangan nila ang dasal, ibigay natin ng buong puso. Our deepest sympathy. #classiclolita #takeitperminutemeganun #74naako"
