Paulo Angeles recalled some of his fond memories with late co-Hashtags member Franco Hernandez, who died in a drowning incident last November 11.
According to Paulo, “Siyempre sobrang bigat, katulad na lang ng narinig niyo nang magsalita kami isa-isa sa It’s Showtime.”
“Alam niyo naman yung kalagayan ko dati, si Franco kasi yung tumutulong sa akin,” he added.
Although it was just this year when Franco became an official member of the all-male group, they became close to each other.
Paulo Angeles also shared the fond memories he had with his friend.
“Nung pumunta kami ng Club, tapos nilagnat ako, siya yung nag-alaga. Instead na mag-enjoy lang kami, naging babysitter ko pa siya, inalagaan niya lang ako,” the 20-year-old ABS-CBN talent said.
“Ang dami, e… sa bahay nila, lagi kami naglalaro ng PS4. Never ko siyang natalo. E, before, lagi naming pinag-uusapan na tatalunin ko siya at babawi ako,” he added.
In an interview with PEP.ph, Paulo was asked if there’s a premonition prior to the passing of Franco.
“Actually, hindi ko siya tinitingnan na premonition before siya mamatay. Parang napansin ko na lang na nagpapaalam siya nung nangyari na sa kanya,” he said.
“Kasi, parang out of nowhere, nag-usap kami sa taas ng ABS habang breaktime, kasi nagti-taping kami bago siya pumunta ng Davao,” he added.
“Nag-uusap lang kami, tapos yung topic, ang layo. Kasi bigla siya sa amin nag-thank you, na naging totoong kaibigan kami. Out of the blue, bigla na lang siya nag-thank you,” he shared.
When asked what is his message to late Hashtag Franco, he said: “Siyempre mahal na mahal ko siya, tsaka maraming salamat sa lahat. Magkikita din tayo soon.”
