| Dawn Zulueta was my Auntie's favorite actress |
Auntie Judith, may her soul rest in peace, had a great
fascination with Dawn Zulueta when she was still alive. That was in the early
90s.
I vaguely recall one weekend afternoon. It was cloudy yet quite humid, and
she, my cousins and I, and a neighbor, were sitting on the balcony talking
about knickknacks and gossips when the topic came to who’s star was ones
favorite. She aptly replied, “Si Dawn akon ya” (Dawn is my favorite).
That was
the time when Dawn was the country’s top female actress, when her melodramatic
films, Iisa Pa Lamang (1990), Hihintayin Kita sa Langit (1991;
original, movie version of Walang Hanggan),
Kung Mawawala Ka Pa (1993) and Saan Ka Man Naroroon (1993), were
instant hit. My aunt has long joined Father God. She died in 1995. But each
time I see Dawn, she reminds me of my aunt. That is why I am an avid fan of
Dawn because I know, Auntie would do the same, had she been alive now.
