Janno Gibbs shared the special opportunity given to Kathryn Bernardo to see the remains of Ronaldo Valdez at his wake. According to the singer and son of the veteran actor, Kathryn was the only person allowed to view the late Ronaldo Valdez in his casket, aside from his family.
In an interview on TV Patrol on Tuesday, January 16, Janno Gibbs recounted the poignant incident. “Kathryn was there, one of the first to arrive at the wake,” he said. “She was the only one allowed to see. She was with her family, and they were close.”
Gibbs defended the special privilege afforded to Kathryn as a demonstration of respect and appreciation for their deep connection. According to Gibbs, their bond deepened while Valdez was still alive.
The collaborative performance of Kathryn Bernardo and Ronaldo Valdez in ABS-CBN’s “2 Good 2 Be True” allowed the two to develop a close relationship on and off the set, making it unsurprising that Kathryn was chosen to see the late actor in his final performance.
Amid sorrow and mourning, the gesture towards Kathryn Bernardo showed that even in the last moments of Ronaldo Valdez’s life, the appreciation and remembrance of their beautiful memories remained. The closeness between the two proves how the art of acting can serve as a bridge to genuine and meaningful friendships behind the scenes.
Granting this special opportunity to Kathryn served as an inspiration for others to emulate her appreciation for the important people in their lives. In the end, it is a testament that moments of remembrance and showing respect open doors to a stronger meaning of friendship and love.
