Director Darryl Yap recently stirred conversation with his new post on social media, where he emphasized the importance of having a “Charito Solis” in everyone’s life. In his heartfelt message, Yap shared a lesser-known story of the deep friendship between Charito Solis and Pepsi Paloma, which, according to him, went beyond the typical connection between co-stars.
Despite the ongoing gag order imposed by the court regarding the issue surrounding Pepsi Paloma, Yap remains undeterred, continuing to post pictures linked to his film about the late actress.
Yap explained that Charito was a pillar of support for Pepsi during her struggles in the entertainment industry. Even after their fallout, during which they did not speak for years, Charito did not hesitate to help Pepsi in her final moments.
In a poignant revelation, Yap shared that Charito, along with actress Jaclyn Jose, went to the morgue after hearing about Pepsi’s passing. Despite the presence of other friends and Pepsi’s manager at the time, it was Charito who took charge of retrieving the actress’s body, ensuring that all the necessary arrangements were made for her burial and wake. This act of kindness, Yap stated, showed the true depth of Charito’s friendship and the love she had for Pepsi, even in her last moments.
Through his post, Yap not only honored the bond between Charito and Pepsi but also brought attention to the unsung acts of kindness that often go unnoticed behind the glitz and glamour of showbiz.
