Award-winning comedienne Manilyn Reynes pays tribute to the late 'Pepito Manaloto' director Bert de Leon.

The passing of Kapuso director and showbiz icon Direk Bert de Leon was immensely felt not just by his family, but also by his colleagues in the industry, especially the cast of the award-winning family sitcom Pepito Manaloto.

On Tuesday, November 23, Michael V. uploaded a photo with their beloved director. His co-star, award-winning comedienne Manilyn Reynes also paid tribute to her good friend by sharing a throwback photo with Direk Bert.

The Kapuso actress is still reeling from the death of her father Nelson Clarin Reynes last January. And now, she has to face this difficult news that their director in the show has passed away.
