“We all choose to mourn in our own way. Hindi natin alam kung ano ang wishes ni TJ.” the veteran actor said.
Another netizen, IG user @liza_aragon, stressed out that parents of TJ should be mourning on that particular instance.
Edu answered that the Cruz family had been grieving since TJ was diagnosed with cancer.
“The family I’m sure has cried much and felt much mula ng ma-diagnose si TJ. I leave it to the family to choose how to celebrate his life. As a parent I know the family will continue to carry TJ in their hearts every waking day,” he replied.
