Jaclyn Jose’s interview with Ogie Diaz went viral on social media after her passing due to myocardial infarction.
It was reported that she passed away alone in her house in Quezon City and her state was only discovered when she stopped responding to messages.
It can be recalled that in 2022, Jaclyn admitted that she didn’t like to live alone, but she had no choice as her children had priorities already.
“Masakit at malungkot, kaso wala akong choice kasi ayokong pigilan yung mga anak ko sa gusto nilang gawin,” she said.
Jaclyn’s eldest, Andi Eigenmann was currently living in Siargao while her youngest son, Gwen Guck was living in the United States.
According to her, she respected her children’s decision to be away from her.
“Kung ano man yung gusto nilang tahakin, gusto ko silang hayaan. Kasi I want them to enjoy life, kasi life is short, it may sound cliche pero ayun ang gusto ko for them,” she stated.
She also gave her thoughts on the decision of Andi to live in Siargao.
“Nung nagdecide si Andi na lumipat sa Siargao, hindi ako nagdalawang isip at hindi ko siya pinigilan. Si Andi ay buo siya magdesisyon, hinahayaan ko siya kahit sa career niya,” she stated.
“Naintindihan ko (Andi), kasi ako nga eh, napapagod, ayoko naman yung anak ko ganun din. Pero si Andi hindi naman magrereklamo, mabilis siya magtrabaho kasi gusto niya matapos lahat. Hindi sa pagmamalaki magaling si Andi,” she added.
