MANILA, Philippines — Coco Martin revealed that there were signs and premonitions of Jaclyn Jose saying goodbye.

According to an ABS-CBN News report, Coco said that in one of Jaclyn’s last scenes in “Batang Quiapo,” she shed tears with Ivana Alawi as if the latter was her daughter.

When asked why she cried a lot, Jaclyn reportedly said, “Kasi parang isa-isa nang nawawala ‘yung mga character sa kulungan eh.”

Jaclyn played the role of Chief Dolores Espinas, the corrupt jail chief who oversees the prison where Coco’s Tanggol is imprisoned.

Coco also recalled that his last goodbye with Jaclyn felt different.

“Pagdating ko pa lang ng Baguio, kinukuwento ko na siya kay Cherry Pie (Picache). [Sabi ko], ‘Pie, alam mo pinag-kukuwentuhan namin ni Mommy Jane (Jaclyn’s real name) si Ma’am Charito Solis, sina FPJ (Fernando Poe Jr.). Tapos ‘yung gabi after ng show sa Baguio, siya pa rin ‘yung pinag-kukuwentuhan namin. ‘Yun pala, hindi namin alam, may nangyari na pala,” he said.

Coco said that he received a call from Jaclyn’s sister, Veronica Jones, last Sunday at around 6 p.m.

“Pumunta kami agad ni Cherry Pie sa bahay niya. 7 p.m. nandun na kami sa labas. Siyempre nagulat talaga lahat kami. Hindi namin inaasahan na mangyayari ito,” he said.

“Utang na loob ko lahat kay Mommy Jane. Siya ang dahilan kung bakit ako nandito sa ABS-CBN. Kung bakit lahat nangyari sa buhay ko. Siya ang kasama ko sa kauna-unahang indie movie ko na ‘Masahista.’ Siya ang nag-convince sa akin na pumasok sa TV, sa ABS-CBN,” he added.

Jaclyn succumbed to heart attack last March 2. She was 60.
