Daboy dies at 56

Recently, I was just talking to his director Edgardo 'Boy' Vinarao about Rudy Fernandez, how he works professionally as an actor  and how he is as a person. How fast time flies. Sad to say, another one of the good guys in Philippine history has already left us and the movie industry.

Rudy Fernandez also known as 'Daboy' has been fighting for two years and finally succumbed to his periampullary cancer in his dear home at White Plains, Quezon City at 6:15am, Saturday. 

The star of Director Edgardo 'Boy' Vinarao's Birador and Jun Gallardo's Baby Ama has been confined for one-month in Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan City. Five days after being brought home (Wednesday), he had a seizure in which he refused to be taken back. He was still able to celebrate his 25th and last anniversary with wife, Lorna Tolentino. Shortly after his death, his close friends, Senators Bong Revilla and Jinggoy Estrada broke the news to the media. 

He was buried at the Heritage Park in Taguig City in which his interment will take 

place this Thursday. Everyone is invited to see the actor's remains for the last time. 

Condolence to the Family of Mr. Rudy Fernandez. You will forever be remembered in the hearts of the Filipinos.
