I am deeply saddened by the passing of Freddie Aguilar, a true legend and icon of Original Pilipino Music. His song “Anak” touched my heart. It spoke to me, and to millions of people around the world. Totoong-totoo ang bawat salita. Ramdam mo ang sakit, ang pagsisisi, at ang pagmamahal ng isang anak. Freddie’s music went beyond generations. It made us proud to be Filipino. His voice carried the soul of our nation. Malaki ang naiambag niya sa kultura at musika ng Pilipinas. Hindi natin siya malilimutan. To his family and friends, my heartfelt condolences. May you find strength in the legacy he leaves behind. Thank you, Freddie, for the music. Thank you for telling our stories. Paalam, Ka Freddie.
