Angel Locsin, Sarah Geronimo, Agot Isidro and their fellow celebrities paid tribute to veteran photographer Raymund Isaac who passed away yesterday, Sept. 4.
Isaac died due to COVID-19 complications while confined at a hospital in San Francisco, California. His death was confirmed by his brother, Edward, as per Bandera today, Sept. 5.
Locsin remembered how Isaac would give her words of encouragement and boost her confidence whenever they had photo shoots together. She also showed a throwback photo with Isaac on her Instagram page today.
“Super sad news. Rest in peace, [Raymund Isaac],” the actress said. “Isa kang alamat. Salamat sa iyong talento at kabaitan. My sincerest condolences sa mga mahal sa buhay na naiwan.”
(You are a legend. Thank you for your talent and kindness. My sincerest condolences to his loved ones.)
Geronimo, meanwhile, described Isaac as kind and generous through her Instagram Story, also today. She showed their own version of Geronimo’s “Unified” concert poster, where she originally appeared with Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez.
“Maraming salamat (Thank you so much) Sir [Raymund] for all the fun memories we shared together,” the Pop Star Princess addressed Isaac. “We will miss you. We love you. Until we meet again.”
