Actress Ina Feleo on the health condition of Marilou Diaz-Abaya, her director in the film, “Ikaw ang Pag-ibig,” for Star Cinema: “We shot the movie last year. Direk Marilou’s cancer was in remission at the time. The whole time we were working, wala siyang sakit. After she was done with editing, nagpa-
check-up siya at stage 4 na agad. The disease had reached her liver. She refused chemotherapy, but her family requested it to extend her life. There were days when she’d just lie in bed, but during the movie’s premiere (in October), she said the pain was gone. She arrived wearing a face mask, pero naka-lipstick pa ’yon sa ilalim. She was visibly happy.” Marinel R. Cruz
