"It was a life well-lived, it was a life well-ended," Lorna Tolentino told reporters at the Heritage Parks in Taguig, where the remains of his husband, Rudy "Daboy" Fernandez, lay.
Fernandez passed away due to complications from periampullary cancer at around 3 this morning, while in his home in Quezon City. His remains were brought to Heritage Parks in Taguig at around 8 in the morning. The funeral will be on June 12.
Fernandez was taken out of Cardinal Santos Hospital last week after several months of treatment. He had a seizure on Wednesday which worsened his condition, but he refused to be taken back to the hospital. Yesterday, his blood pressure lowered. His close friends such as senators Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla were around him when he took his last breath.
Fernandez was diagnosed with periampullary cancer last year. He remained calm and optimistic while undergoing treatment. He even said "You will see me next year, same time, same place," to the people who celebrated his birthday with him last March.
Rudy Fernandez debuted in the film Luksong Tagumpay at the age of three. He signed with Sampaguita Pictures in 1970 while still a student at University of Santo Tomas. Beginning with Bitayin si Baby Ama (Execute Baby Ama), a biopic of a well-known Filipino criminal, he has specialized in portraying true-to-life characters. He was known as The King of True-to-Life Stories after portraying the lead characters in several biopics of certain personalities such as politicians Vincent "Bingbong" Crisologo and Panfilo "Ping" Lacson.
He ran for Quezon City mayor during the 2001 elections, but he lost to then-house speaker Sonny Belmonte.
He had one son, Mark Anthony Fernandez, with former partner Alma Moreno and two sons, Renz Marion and Raphael Fernandez with Lorna Tolentino.
We will miss you, Daboy.
