Freddie Aguilar's wife Jovie Albao mourns passing of OPM icon
Jovie Albao is mourning the death of her husband Freddie Aguilar. On Facebook, Jovie shared a photo of herself standing at Freddie's grave site and wrote a heartfelt message for the OPM icon. 'I understand that the hardest night for a person is the first night in the grave. However, I am not here out of worry. I am confident that, due to your faith in Allah, your first night was peaceful. I am here to rest,' she wrote. According to Jovie, she tried to sleep in their home but with Freddie gone, it doesn't feel like home anymore. 'I know you said 'don't cry' the night before you [left], but just like I tend to cry more when you console me, I will shed a few more tears today, tomorrow, and every time I think of you until I can smile again when I think of you,' she added. Freddie died of multiple organ failure on May 27. He was 72 years old. The Filipino singer and songwriter is survived by Jovie, as well as his four children from his previous marriage: Maegan, Jonan, Isabella, and Jeriko. Considered an icon of OPM, Aguilar is best known for his hit song 'Anak' which became an international hit and was translated into multiple languages. His other songs include 'Bulag, Pipi At Bingi,' "Mindanao," "Katarungan," and 'Magdalena,' among many others. — Jade Veronique Yap/LA, GMA Integrated News
