<p>Several celebrities and personalities wrote farewell messages to renowned actress Jaclyn Jose, real name Mary Jane Guck, as she passed away due to a heart attack on Saturday, March 2.</p><p>The 60-year-old veteran actress has been one of the most talented and versatile show business personalities who worked with several stars from different generations and networks.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/3/4/andi-eigenmann-on-her-mother-s-passing-please-provide-us-the-respect-and-privacy-1536"><strong>READ: Andi Eigenmann on her mother’s passing: “Please provide us the respect and privacy”<br/></strong></a></div><p>Celebrities such as Jake Ejercito, Iza Calzado, Claudine Barretto, G Tongi, Alfred Vargas and Cheena Crab were among those who paid their tribute to the late actress.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>IZA CALZADO<br/></strong></div><p>Kapamilya actress Iza Calzado wrote her message to Jaclyn, whom she had worked with during her early years in the industry.</p><p>“There was a shoot with all of the artists and you were standing in line like everyone else. I looked at you and immediately wanted to hug you because you reminded me of my mom who I just lost in 2001. Tisay and a bit short but had an intensity and mystery about you that just gave off a &#x27;&#x27;wag mo akong subukan&#x27; kind of energy,” the actress shared.</p><p>Iza also recalled how Jaclyn treated her like a daughter and taught her a lot of things, making their bond grow stronger through years.</p><p>“As luck would have it, you ended up playing my mother in Te Amo, Maging Sino Ka Man. I had the opportunity to work with you a few more times, Eternity was one of them, and the last long one was my first series in ABS-CBN, Kahit Puso’y Masugatan,” she recalled.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/3/4/celebrities-mourn-the-passing-of-jaclyn-jose-1000"><strong>READ: Celebrities mourn the passing of Jaclyn Jose<br/></strong></a></div><p>She went on: “You treated me like a daughter and I looked up to you as a mentor and mother. Jane Guck or Nanay Jane I would fondly call you. Our shared love for tequila and rockstars made us click. You were both generous and kind with your words of encouragement and support be it on or off cam. You were also very stern when you needed to be. That’s one of the best things about you — napakatotoo mo.”</p><p>Iza also shared the last time when she was able to talk with the actress and spent time together, regretting how she should have hugged her tighter when she had the chance.</p><p>&quot;I last saw you, briefly, at a party for actors where we came together to further understand the Eddie Garcia Bill. You passionately asked questions and, with no pretenses, expressed your personal opinion and concerns on a lot of things. I had no idea that would be the last time I would see you. Kung alam ko lang, I would have hugged you more that night, yung yakap na sobrang higpit para alam mo na mahal na mahal kita. I truly love, respect and appreciate you, Jane Guck,” she said.</p><p>Iza ended her message with: “It has been an honor and great pleasure to know you and cross paths with you in this lifetime. Pahinga ka na. Until the next one. 🙏🏽 P.S. Taos pusong pakikiramay sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay lalo na sa&#x27;yo baby girl (Andi Eigenmann) 🙏🏽❤️,”</p><p>Jaclyn’s daughter Andi then replied, “Love you ate iza. Yakap ❤.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4FYwZyJfl3/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3954383.5999999046%2C%22ls%22%3A3953889.2999999523%2C%22le%22%3A3954373.399999857%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="541" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong>CLAUDINE BARRETTO<br/></strong></div><p>Actress Claudine Barretto, who became one of Jaclyn’s onscreen daughters in their hit series Mula Sa Puso, penned a heartwarming and lengthy anecdote about how the late actress became one of her shoulders to lean on in the past years.</p><p>“Feb.29 Direk Wenn left us.
