MANILA -- Celebrities, relatives, fans and personalities close to movie icon Gloria Romero and her family, paid their last respects and goodbyes during the necrological mass on Wednesday, January 29.

Veteran actor and close friend of Romero in Sampaguita Pictures Pepito Rodriguez said he considers Gloria as his big sister. 

"She is a nice lady. Very motherly, very sisterly, that's why I call her Ate Glo, coz she’s my big sister. She has a big heart, kind heart and loving heart," says Rodriguez.

During the tribute dinner for Romero last year, Dulce was one of the guest performers. She sang the iconic theme song 'Tanging Yaman' infront of the movie icon herself. Reminiscing that memory today made Dulce shed some tears.

Veteran actress Liza Lorena, who lives near Romero's residence, described her neighbor as sweet, regal and a queen. 

"Hay naku, I'm going to miss you, Glo. My darling Glo. Breaks my heart and I still can't believe that you're gone. We were just together. I will miss you, please pray for us lalo na yung 'Balik Samahan' na senior," she stated. 

"Balik Samahan" is a group formed by Pempe Rodrigo, and they are some of the country's veteran and award-winning  movie actors and actresses.
