00:00What is your first reaction when you were done?
00:02I was surprised. I felt so sad.
00:06I felt so sad because I don't know,
00:08Tita Pilita was one of the very very first icons
00:13that supported me.
00:15They were Kuya Jerms.
00:17I would remember seeing them always
00:19in Green Hills,
00:21hanging out.
00:23I didn't even know them.
00:25Seeing icons.
00:27They were just hanging out there.
00:30I got to meet them.
00:33I got to perform with the Master Showman.
00:35Tita Pilita was a guest at my concerts.
00:39At my concerts, I was a guest.
00:41When I was still starting, people didn't know
00:43who Jed Modela was.
00:45So, I was so lucky
00:47to have a lot of money on Tita Pilita
00:49because she was one of my friends.
00:51I don't have a name.
00:53She would include me in her shows.
00:55What are your fondest memories?
00:57What are your fondest memories about Tita Pilita?
00:59Fondest memories?
01:01Um...
01:02Ang hindi ko makakalitmutan
01:03kay Tita Pilita,
01:04she would always have something
01:06very very nice to say.
01:07As in,
01:08wala ka talagang marinig sa kanya na
01:10kanegahan.
01:11And, uh...
01:13She was such a gracious lady.
01:15Sobrang class.
01:17Yung braiding niya ibang-iba.
01:19But at the same time,
01:21she was very funny.
01:22She was very funny.
01:23Yun yun ang hindi ko makakalimutan sa kanya.
01:25May mga payo ba siyang binibigay siya?
01:27Ayun, yung...
01:29The only thing I could remember is
01:31wag ko daw kalimutan kung saan ako nang gali.
01:34Okay.
01:35And to pay it forward.
01:36Which is what she was doing when
01:38the first time she met me.
01:40Pilita ko rales na siya noon eh.
01:42I mean, she was a...
01:43She's an icon.
01:44She'll always be an icon.
01:45And for her to invite somebody
01:49na hindi kinala.
01:50Yun.
01:51Yun yung sinabi niya sa akin na parang
01:53pay it forward.
01:54Be...
01:55Be...
01:56Be also...
01:57Also be an instrument na
01:58makatulong sa ibang mga artists na baguhan.

02:03O siyempre yung kanyang na...
02:04Yung minimimig ko siya lagi yung...
02:06The day you came along
02:08With the song
02:10A million thanks.
02:11A million thanks for you.
02:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13Gano'n kalaking gawalan sa ilustria?
02:15Ang paggawalan ni kita Pilita?
02:17Well, I think it's going to leave
02:19a big hole in the industry
02:21kasi walang katulan
02:24sa Miss Pilita ko rales.
02:25Nobody can even come close
02:28to what she has achieved,
02:30what she has...
02:31Contribute?
02:32Contributed sa ilustria.
02:34At saka...
02:36Ang dami niyang natulungan na artists
02:38na...
02:39You know, people know
02:40and people don't know.
02:41So...
02:42You know, I think there's going to be
02:43a very very big void
02:45in the industry
02:46sa pagkawalan ni kong magkita.
02:47Maraming salamat.
