The T.G.I.S. barkada took to social media to mourn and grieve one of their own, Red Sternberg, after his death was announced by his wife Sandy Friday afternoon. He was 50.
On Instagram, Bobby Andrews posted old snaps with "one of my closest friends in showbiz" and said they stayed close even after he moved abroad.
"He was the kind of person who could thrive anywhere, adapt to anything, and still stay true to himself. Generous, loyal, and real," Bobby added, saying "I'll miss his presence, his humor, his heart. Thank you for the friendship brother. Rest easy."
Angelu de Leon could not hide her shock and heartbreak at the news, simply posting three broken heart emojis on her Instagram Stories, writing "Kiko," and tagging Red's account.
Michael Flores did the same, before reposting a couple other tributes, including Bobby's.
Ciara Sotto meanwhile reposted Direk Mark Reyes' announcement of Red's death on her Instagram Stories and added three broken heart emojis, before reposting other tributes. She also posted an old photo with Red and simply said "Love you Kiko."
Like Ciara, Rica Peralejo reposted Direk Mark's announcement on her Instagram Stories and said she was "super sad."
"Our entire barkada is devastated," Ciara added.
Raven Villanueva, Red's ka-love team on T.G.I.S., has yet to post a tribute.
"T.G.I.S." was a popular youth-oriented afternoon weekly show that ran on GMA Network. It premiered on August 12, 1995 and had more than 200 episodes, plus a spin-off film "T.G.I.S.: The Movie" that premiered in 1997. It was supposed to celebrate their 30th anniversary this year.
