FunTranscript
00:00Take me to that moment when you first heard about the passing away, the death of Red.
00:12Nasaan kayo at ano ang inyong reaksyon?
00:15Ikaw, Michael.
00:17Actually, natutulog pa ako noon, Tito Boy.
00:21Tinawagan ako ni Direct Mark.
00:24Tapos may pinost nga daw si Sandy sa Facebook.
00:27Birthday pa ni Red yun.
00:30So, sabi niya, confirm mo nga ito, Mike.
00:33Kasi kilala namin si Red na Joker yan.
00:37Minsan nagpe-playtime.
00:38May ugaling ganyan yan.
00:40Mahilig mag-playtime yan.
00:41Even before talaga.
00:43So, sabi ko, sige Mark, kocontakin ko si Sandy.
00:47So, tinuwaga ko si Sandy.
00:49Sabi ko, noon nakita ko palang, itsura palang ni Sandy, naka-video call kami.
00:55Yun, kinonfirm na niya.
00:57Tapos sinama na namin sa conversation si Mark.
01:00Si Direct Mark.
01:01So, doon na in-explain ni Sandy yung nangyari na May 27 pa lang nung in-atacking nga daw si Red.
01:08Pero in-announce niya sa social media, May 30.
01:11On his birthday.
01:12Birthday pa niya.
01:13So, yun yung hindi, wala.
01:16Sobrang na-shock talaga kami.
01:19Bobby, kao?
01:20Reaction mo?
01:21Yeah, I was, kasi tito ba, I just spoke to him nung 20 second.
01:28Nag-usap ko sa phone.
01:29Tagal namin nag-usap.
01:30You know, he's been reaching out for the past couple of weeks.
01:34Hindi lang kami nakakapag-usap kasi pa rin yung chat.
01:37Either I was busy or he was busy.
01:39So, noong 22, nakakapag-usap na kami.
01:43That's why it was so hard to accept because I was just talking to the guy a week before.
01:48So, how can this happen?
01:50Ang hirap maniwala.
01:51Ang hirap.
01:51At paniwalaan, no?
01:52At that age, you know, and he was so, you know, he was working out.
01:57He was losing weight.
01:59He was very excited.
02:00He was very excited to come home.
02:03He was gonna bring his daughter.
02:05They're gonna spend a month here bonding sila.
02:08That's why it was so hard.
02:10That's why, all throughout the thread, nirin ako makareact.
02:13Sinulat ka lang, what the, how could this happen?
02:17And that's it.
02:18I just couldn't deal with it.
02:20It's hard.
02:20And she called.
02:23And the world stopped.
02:25Parang, nakakatulala.
02:29Sabi nga namin, parang, it's so close.
02:32Parang, normally, mababalitaan mo, tatay ng tatay ng kaibigan mo.
02:39But this one, parang, yeah, we were all excited to talk to each other.
02:44And then, birthday mo.
02:46Parang, lahat kami, sabi ko, I'm in disbelief.
02:49Yun lang yung lagi ko nasasabi.
02:51Pag nagme-message doon ng mga, walang makapaniwalang he's gone.
02:57And then, ako, to be honest, siguro it was just yesterday when people started asking me,
03:04Uy, anong nangyari kay Red, doon lang talaga, oh, wala na siya, talagang.
03:09No.
03:11Okay.
03:12We got a letter from Sandy for you and the followers of TGIS.
03:20Allow me to read this.
03:21To all the Red Sternberg fans and followers of TGIS, this is from Sandy.
03:27The outpouring of pictures and videos you shared were so touching.
03:33I feel your heartache and pain so much.
03:35It hurts.
03:37It's like a wound that will never ever heal.
03:40The deep pounding of your heart that skips a beat,
03:44and the reality we all can't accept is inescapable.
03:48Red and I got married 20 years ago.
03:50I still remember him getting off the computer and saying,
03:55Ito na, sinisigaw ko na sa buong mundo, nakasal na tayo.
03:59He was a simple guy.
04:00Our wedding bands were picked out in Ongpin.
04:03As a husband, Red was a planner.
04:07He was always ahead before I could even think it.
04:10He had a solution for everything by looking up in the ceiling
04:12as if the answers were all there.
04:16He was a computer geek.
04:17Everything had a spreadsheet.
04:21Red was a loving daddy to the girls and dada to our son.
04:26Our son, being so young, he will only remember him
04:28through all of your posts.
04:33So thank you for keeping his memory alive.
04:37Through his TGIS barkada,
04:39he's had so many stories he shared with me.
04:43Mostly bloopers,
04:44na parang yesterday lang talaga it happened.
04:47Thank you for letting him be a part of your barkada.
04:51Someday, I hope you can tell the kids more stories.
04:55Sandy Sternberg.
04:57Maraming salamat, Sandy.
04:59May mensahe ba kayo para kay Sandy?
05:14Because I'm sure she's watching this.
05:22Actually, ito ba?
05:23What I feel sad most about is how these kids will never get to know him the way we did.
05:44And I hope that we get the opportunity to be able to tell his family, his kids, how red was.
06:00Anshikau.
06:01Because the last time I talked to him, he was so excited about his monso.
06:09Kasi only boy niya eh.
06:12The boy who calls him dadas, sabi ni Sandy.
06:15Yeah. And then, talagang parang, at saka yun yung time na ini-enjoy niya yung fatherhood.
06:22Talagang, and this is a different side of red.
06:25And yung, kung paano namin naramdaman yung, paano siya maging isang kaibigan.
06:33Si na, Sandy, you're very fortunate to, been able to be given the time with red na,
06:39katulad nung sinabi niya, planado lahat, may solusyon sa lahat.
06:45And yun yung isa sa pinakamasakete, you're just turning 51.
06:50And, and sabi niya, and days before your birthday.
06:56And, you know, it's just, it's sad.
07:00I mean, we want them to come home.
07:04Ako, I want them to come home, talk about red the way we remembered,
07:09and then them talking about red the way he is.
07:13Kasi, we were all, to be honest, we were all looking forward to getting together.
07:19Matagal na naman yung na sinasabi, na sana nga.
07:22And then to think na, it's, it's still, again, in disbelief,
07:30ngayon lang siya nagiging totoo because we talk about it.
07:33Right. But it's a great idea.
07:35Kung magkikita-kita, kwento nila, kwento ninyo.
07:38And, you know, together, you'll be creating a great memory of the man.
07:43Yes.
07:43Yun ang hiling ni Sandy rin eh.
07:45For the kids.
07:46Right. That one day, you should be able to tell stories to the kids.
07:50Yeah.
07:50Kung sino yung kanilang.
07:52Actually, Tito, boy, plano nga niyang bumalik talaga muna eh.
07:54Plano niyang bumalik dito.
07:56Plano nga niyang mag-artista ulit eh.
07:57No, he was open.
07:58Yes.
07:59Gusto nga niyang mag-artista daw ulit.
08:01Mingi pa nga na-advise sa amin ni Bob.
08:03Sino bang pwede kong kausapin?
08:05Sino bang manager na, alam mo eh, interested pa rin na kunin ako.
08:09So, di ba, pag naging okay, baka mag-stay muna sila dito for a while, kung okay yung naging outcome.
08:17And then, yun nga, mag-celebrate pa kami ng 30 years namin, anniversary ng TGI is.
08:23So, talagang sobrang excited siya to the point na nag-workout siya, nag-diet siya.
08:29Yeah.
08:29And yung mga fans kasi namin, in fairness naman sa mga fans, talagang wala rin kami masabi.
08:34Dahil until now, talagang looking forward sila.
08:38Doon sa reunion, kung may project kami nagagawin, sobrang excited sila.
08:44Doon sa reunion, kung may project kami nag-diet siya, nag-diet siya, nag-diet siya.
09:14Doon sa reunion, kung may project kami nag-diet siya.
09:44Doon sa reunion, kung may project kami nag-diet siya.
09:47Doon sa reunion, kung may spark
10:12We'll see you next time.
