" I'll still be true to my word that my ONLY GOAL for her (claudine barretto) is to see her spread her wings and fly and when she does, i'll tell her not to look back. AND I'LL BE HAPPY FOR HER. " by Rico Yan

hi,guys, since my nabasa ako sa fb page ng rico yan-claudine barretto fan page, i don't know if nabasa niyo na to kasi matagal na rin to, nice story by rico's mom,

SITA YAN TODAY!

I met up with Sita Yan, Rico’s mother, in Baguio, a few days before All Souls Day last year. She had
opened the Yan vacation home to YES! For a pictorial, and I had gone up to oversee the shoot.
It was only me second meeting with Mrs. Yan since
May 16 2002, or six weeks after Rico’s death when she had granted YES! An interview.
If that first meeting, I remember a cordial but guarded lady, tall, beautiful—and in absolute grief. In the hour long interview, she kept the talk rigidly focused on the Rico Yan foundation, and studiously avoided the issue of Claudine. In the five-hour dinner that followed, she meandered into much more — personal thoughts, family stories, and her feelings about Judy Ann Santos, an actress once linked to Rico —but the very next day, she asked to have these withdrawn. On the second meeting, on October 24, 2004, I found
a warmer, more relaxed, and more spontaneous Mrs. Yan.
She was still a looker, and she was still a lady, but
there was something more casual about her now. Gone was the guarded politeness. Her first gesture of welcome was to lead me to the big, and only, portrait in her pine-lined living room. It was Rico in a black T-shirt, handsome, smiling, full of life.
“My son—“ she said, her voice catching, her arms slightly outstretched in the direction of the portrait.
She told me she was taking it easy, and had even
taken break from the Rico Yan Foundation.
I told it was happy news that Geraldine —Rico’s sister and possibly his staunchest defender against Claudine in the last weeks of his life —had reconciled with Claudine. All the same, it was a surprise, I remarked.
“You want the story?” Sita Yan asked with a smile. And so began her fascinating tale about some very strange text messages.

THE FIRST TEXT

“Okay,” Sita said, taking a wooden seat in the veranda of her baguio home. “There was this text message of Rico , okay, which he texted my husband
[Roby] before he dies. At that time, the controversy
was full-blown about…alam mo na naman yon” I nodded. We both understand that she was referring
to the Claudine-Rico fight of March 4-5 2002.
Prior to Rico’s text, she continued, her husband had sent Rico a text message that read: “Rico, I’m just here. If there’s a need for you to talk to someone, I ’m just here, I can…we can talk about it.” At that time, Rico had not told them his side of the
story, explained Sita. “He has not divulging it to us.” But now, in response to his father ’s text message, Rico had sent this: “Please to not be worried dad. You know I’m going through a lot right now, But I just want to reassure you that what is said in the papers is
not true. I’m not capable of doing those things, and I don’t want to add to your worries. I know its going to be difficult for you. But then, please trust me when I
say it’s not true.” `At this point, the tail turned a little strange.
For Sita swore: “That text message, believe it or not, has been coming back for about…siguro, since Rico died, three dozen times! All to the dad, all to the
phone of the dad.” Since Rico died?
Sita went on: “Dati kasi, ako naman kasi, I don’t believe in these things. So when the text comes in,
sabi ko it’s probably something in the phone, because it was in his [Roby Yan’s] outbox. But then, when it was coming and coming in na. I thought of becoming
interested.
But then, Rico had been dead six months!
But just to make sure, I asked: “This was six months after Rico died?” “The text’s just been coming in!” Sita responded, her speech racing. “Siguro, the first time it came in, it was about a month, or a month and a half, after Rico died.
DO I wasn’t minding it. I said it’s just something in the phone. Pero…balik nang balik.” Eventually, she said, the family managed to figure out
how the texts manage to come in

“It enters. Rico’s text rides on the text message of somebody who texts my husband. Okay, this is how it happens. Let’s say, my sister-in-law texts my husband. You see the name of my sister-in-law, You press it. But [what you read
is] Rico’s message.” I asked if they saw two messages—the caller’s and rico’s. “No, just Rico’s” She clarified. “It rides on e. Because when you scroll down, there is no sender, there is no
time, there is nothing! It just scrolls down, and then it scrolls up again.
She added, “But, teka muna, it erases itself! That’s the reason why we found out, Jo-ann, that is was riding.
Because once it erases itself, it reverses back to the original message!” This was finally when, Sita explained, the sender’s name, the number, the time of the call register on her husband’s cellphone. And this was finally when the actual message of the sender could be read.
Strange. Unable to keep the story to herself any longer, Sita began telling friends about the strange texts. In the meantime, that same text message —sent by Rico just weeks before he died—keep appearing in her husband’s inbox. One say, Sita found herself prodding Roby: “Why don’t you talk to Rico? Because probably, he’s telling you something.” To her surprise, she said her husband answered; “I just did. I talked to him. I said, “look, if there’s unfinished business between us—I’ll forgive you, you forgive me.” “And then after ten minutes, ” she recalled, “it comes in again! The message comes in! tuloy tuloy yan. So
ngayon, ako naman, kami minsan, ang ginagawa lang naming, we just decided to ignore it, my husband came to the point that he has already anticipating the messages!” Once more, I asked how many months Rico had been dead when these repeat messages began showing up
“Tuloy-tuloy, tuloy-tuloy!” Sita said, caught up in her story. “Some messages come in—the same message, ha?—they come in, siguro, once in a month, sometimes three in a week. Basta, as I said, sa total, siguro mga three dozen times already.

So in my heart as a mom, I said, “what is this? There is no explanation.” It got so, she admitted, that her husband began seeing the text message as his way of talking with his dead
son.
Sita said, smiling, “Hindi siya naaalangan, natutuwa pa nga siya.” And on the very day of her husband’s birthday, within the first year of Rico ’s death, he in fact received the same text message—again/ “Yeah, my husband was having lunch with a friend, and then toot—toot! O, he knew that it was Rico ” Indeed, it was. Tina, Rico’s younger sister, was next. “Tina, my daughter, is in the states, ” Sita began. “She texted my husband to same message twice. Siguro this happened about a year ago [2003] ang
nangyari, dalawa ang pumasok ano..one was Tina’s message and was Rico’s message. “So, alam na namin that immediately after Tina texted. She texted the same message again. Nagride-
on ang message ni Rico!” What did she think this meant? Rico was relentless, she said.
“Ako naman as a mother..even if I don’t believe in these things, baka nga hindi siya mapakali. Maybe he’s trying to tell us something. ” Then she added, “And the only thing I could think about is our relationship with Claudine. Probably,
Rico’s not happy. It’s unfinished business. And so, that’s in my heart…but I was not telling anybody.” Inside her, though, the feeling was getting stronger.
“Siguro this is what Rico wants us to do —as last to settle this relationship we have with Claudine.

[jenykie]

THE SECOND TEXT

The story did not end there. Sita Yan had a tale about a second text—one that was just as strange, but even more strangely, one that would end up relaed to the first.
As Sita told it, in mid-June last year, she and her
husband were in Baguio to look into the construction of their vacation home.
At 2:30 in the morning, her cellphone rang. She picked it up and looked at the caller number. Not recognizing it, she did not answer and put the phone on mute. Meantime, her husband had been disturbed by the call, and was now curious about the caller’s identity. A few minutes after, he suggested to Sita that she return the
call. In the meantime, her phone lighted up two more times which meant the unknown caller had tried to reach her twice more.
Sita said, “So, I called it. It was a girl who just seemingly woke up. “Hello—tipong the thing na tinig ng bagong gising. So, I said, “I just receive a call from your phone.” Tapos, sabi ko, “did you call me?” ‘Hah?’ she said, ‘no, no’ Parang ganon. Bagong gising, e. “So, sabi ko. ‘this is a useless conversation. I was talking to somebody who just woke up. Wala na. Binaba ko na yung phone. Wala na. Sabi niya, parang, ‘Hah? Hah? Who’s this?’ Parang ganoon. So I put down my phone, so naka-mute yon.” In the next half hour, she and her husband stayed up talking about their baguio home, a dream project they had told Rico about shortly before he died. By the time she checked on her phone again, it carried five messages from the same number. “So the five messages were identical,” Sita made clear. “They were all the same, sent five times. ” And they all said?
“I love you, Mom. Please reach out to her because she loved us. It will make me really happy.” Sita paused.


She understood that this had to be very
strange for me, an outsider. She knew it was —even for her.
Anyway, she said, she began to call the number back.
By 11 o’clock the following morning, she had attempted at least three times, but tere was no
getting through.
At this point, Sita revealed that, in truth, she had
been feeling something different inside her. The long
coldness in her heart was thawing—and the object of its gathering warmth was none other than Claudine
Barretto.
“Kasi parang in my heart, that is what Rico would like us to do.” I asked how long she had been feeling this way.
“Matagal na!” she answered brightening up. “Siguro mga one year na. Parang ang feeling ko kasi, for
somebody who loved so much…You know, I cannot get away from the reality that Rico really loved
Claudine. It’s true—up to the hour he died.” She mused, “And siguro, parang he cannot..ah… accept that his death has caused so much..so much
pain, among all the people he loved. I’m sure he loved us as his family—and he loved also Claudine. That his death has caused all this! So, I was thinking, probably
he wasn’t really happy about it.” The next things that happened was that the girl on
the phone called her.
This, Sita repeated,was the same girl whose number
registered on her cellphone at 2:30 in te morning, and
then registered five more messages an hour later, when
the message “I love you, mom. Reach out to her..” found its way into her inbox five times.


Over the phone, the girl said: “I was the one you called up this morning, and [you] said that you received a call from my phone.” Sita did not ask who the girl was. Instead, she demanded to know, “Did you call me?” The girl replied, “No” Sita pursued the questions, “Did you send me any text messages? My name is Sita.” (As an aside, Sita explained to me: I said my name, parang matter of fact, ‘yong mabilis, ‘My name is Sita’’). She had to ask the girl again, “Are you sure you did not send me any text message?” And again the girl replied, “No! Why? No, this phone is a line phone. Why will I send some crank messages. if you can trace my line? I’ve has this line for only two months.” Just the same, Sita wanted to hear it one more time, “Are you sure?” she grilled the girl. “Are you sure you did not call”? The girl stuck to her story, “No, no, I did not call.” “Okay, so I didn’t ask her who she was,” Sita said. “I thought it was not necessary because if she was a crankster, somebody who has been sending me crank messages, she would not even told me the truth abou the number di ba? So I thought it was not necessary to ask” The next development, according to Sita, ws: “She texts me. She says: ‘Oh, by the way, I was the girl who called you a while ago. Is your name Sita or Lita’ So, I didn’t answer her. It was 12 o’clock and we were having lunch.
“She calls again. Siguro after ten minutes, she calls again. She says: ‘I was the girl again who just called a while ago. Did you receive my message?’ I said, ‘Yes. My name is Sita. What’s yours?” And the girl said: “Claudine” What followed was this exchange, according to Sita:
“Claudine Barretto?” “Yes.” ‘Claudine, this is Tita Sita. Did you call me or send me text messages?” “No, Tita. You know, that’s why I recognized your voice.” “Claudine, you know my number. My number didn’t change since Rico died. This is my number before.” “But this is my new line. It [Sita ’s number] has not yet been in my directory.


I just looked at my old directory, and I saw that number was Tina’s number. [Tina is the closest to Claudine among Rico’s siblings.] And then I recognized your voice,” “Okay, Again, did you call me?” “No, Tita” “Did you send me any text messages?” “No, Tita. Why, Tita? What were the text messages?” “Never mind, it’s not important.” And there the strange exchange ended.

THE SENDER
Sita Yan, on the veranda of her vacation home, her
back to the darkening sky, looked at peace.
It was late October in Baguio, and in a few days she would get ready sprucing up her son Rico's tomb at the Manila Memorial Park in Sucat Paranaque, in time for Novermber 1. After that, she was due to fly to San Francisco,California, to help with the care of her grandchild, Tina's kid.
I asked: In the end, who send those text messages?
Sita answered: "Claudine did not admit that the texts
came from her. Pero ako kasi, Jo-Ann, I know it was her. But, look at it also--if it was her, can you imagine the guts that she had to take to text me?
"At saka, alam mo yong 'Please reach out to her?' That's very Rico,e. CLaudine doesn't know that the text messages of Rico [to his father] have been coming in. Hindi nya alam yon. Why didn't she say, 'Please reach out to claudine'?
"Ganoon pala si Rico sinasabi ni dominic ochoa. He never mentions [the name] Claudine. She is always her, she, her So parang sinasabi ni Rico, 'Please reach out to claudine."
Besides, Sita added, she really wanted the bad feelings around them to end at last.
"I was thinking actually of asking claudine to join as
this November 1 [2004] to visit Rico's grave. I just
might.. I'm not sure where she is. Kasi, as i said, i want
to get it over with. Tapos na."
"Whoever was the source of the text...whether Rico's text that kept coming back, or the texts that i received...i would like to believe that it was also God's way." "kasi it's hard to be living with yourself na may galit. IT's really such a heavy load. IT colors all your outlook in life. At saka, parang you can't go on." "Now that nawala ang resentment, I saw how the effect was,e , on the family. Nawala--and everybody's just willing to go on. Geraldine is into badminton. You know parang she's so happy. Parang everybody's just 'Go!'" Tapos na nga. So i said, 'For whatever." "And i hope that is also the way for claudine. She can procceed with her life na."
Since Rico died, i think i am not yet that healed," Sita answered. "And one symptom i can see
is that i don't read about the starts, I don't even watch TV! Kasi if i watch this young stras, syempre, im always reminded. 'Rico should have been there' 'That's Rico's ad'. So that's still an open wound, not
yet healed. So i don't read about claudine, although i have heard of that plan of hers." But she added, "I just wish her well." When, In July of 2004, or a few weeks after making up with the Yans, Claudine asked the family's permission to go public with their reconciliation, the Yans gave it. They knew that July was claudine's birth month, and, whatever her reasons for wanting to go public with the information at that time, the Yans have made their peace-- with her and with themselves. All was well in their hearts. And, as her Tita Sita hopes, in Claudine's as well.

Dominic Ochoa says it took him about three years before getting over the demise of best friend Rico Yan
PEP | Allan Sancon | Friday, March 30, 2012

Nagpa-misa ang ABS-CBN at Star Magic para sa 10th death anniversary ng matinee idol na si Rico Yan kahapon, March 29.

Ginanap ang misa sa Annunciation of Our Lord Chapel sa ABS-CBN compound. Pinangunahan ito ng dating spiritual adviser at kaibigan ni Rico na si Fr. Carmelo Caluag at dinaluhan ng pamilya at mga kaibigan ng namayapang aktor.

Kabilang sa mga dumalo sa misa ang best friend ni Rico na si Dominic Ochoa.

Matapos ang misa ay nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Dominic.

Si Rico ay natagpuang patay sa kanyang kuwarto sa Dos Palmas resort sa Puerto Princesa, Palawan noong March 29, 2002. Siya ay 27 years old lamang noon.

Si Dominic ang nakadiskubre sa bangkay ng namayapang aktor.

Ano ang masasabi ni Dominic makalipas ang sampung taon ng pagkamatay ni Rico?

“Yes, I know!" sambit muna niya.

"When I got the message from Ms. Joanna of Star Magic and my handler Allan, they are saying nga na 10thdeath anniversary na ni Rico Yan at magkakaroon ng misa para sa kanya.

“Time is really running fast. Grabe, 'no? Ten years na pala ang nakalipas!

“Solid! Solid! But again, like what I said before, he’s happier there [sabay turo sa langit].

"I’m sure he’s just around watching over us.”

Nangilid naman ang luha ni Doms nang tanungin kung ano ang nami-miss niya kay Rico.

“Alam mo, after his death, three years kong… parang ang hirap bitawan, e.

“After three years that he passed away, doon ko na-get over.

“Si Marvin [Agustin], medyo mas mabilis pa nga niyang na-get over yung pagkawala ni Rico.

"Ako, medyo mahirap, e.

“After that, hiniwalay ko na yung sarili ko.

“But what Fr. Caluag shared kanina sa Homily niya, na 'tulad niya, kapag may malaki akong problema, that I need someone to talk to…

“Pumupunta rin ako ng Manila Memorial, ganun din ako katulad ni Father."

Sa Manila Memorial Park sa Parañaque nakahimlay ang mga labi ni Rico.

Patuloy ni Dominic, “Ngayon, wala na, good times na ngayon.

“Kanina nga, yung dinasal ko… parang yung sabi ko sa prayer ko as I talked to Rico, ‘Rics, I don’t want to talk about the past, yung nangyari sa atin... I want to talk about the present, yung good news.

“’Eto, may anak na ako at asawa.

"So, gusto ko talagang pag-usapan natin yung good times ngayon.'”

GOOD TIMES. Kung buhay pa si Rico ngayon, siguradong may bonding time pa rin sila?

“Oo, pero iba na, e, hindi mo na maibabalik yun.

“Let’s just be happy with the things na nangyari.

"I think it happened for a purpose.

“You know, everyone learned dun sa mga nangyari and I hope na natuto rin yung ibang tao.

“Not just me, but everyone learned from what happened.”

Hinahanap-hanap ba niya ang company ni Rico?

“Not anymore… before, yes!

"Yun nga yung first three years, andun yun, e.

"Pero after that, binigyan ko na ng konting gap.

“We have to move on, everyone ay kailangan namang mag-move on.”

Naniniwala ba si Dominic na walang kapalit si Rico sa industriya?

“Definitely, definitely," sagot ng aktor.

“Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Fr. Caluag kanina, parang yung standard ng ABS-CBN, siya yung hinahanap.

"For me yun, ha? I mean, I don’t want to be biased because he’s a good friend.

“He has a quality of a good person; he’s a good artist and professional actor.

“And sana good politician, too!” sabay tawa ni Dominic.

“Kaya lang iniwanan naman niya tayo, e.”

POLITICAL PLANS. Nasabi ba ni Rico sa kanya kung ano ang posisyong tatakbuhin nito kung sakaling buhay pa ang kaibigan?

“Hindi pa naman President... Oo, pinapangarap niya yun, pero masyadong advance yung president, governor muna.”

Kung buhay si Rico, makakayanan kaya nito ang mundo ng pulitika?

“Definitely, definitely! I do the same, e. We have the same plans.

“Pero mas mababang position lang yung sa akin.

“We have the same plans, we have the same interest.

“Yun lang yung isang nakaka-miss kay Rico.

"Kasi konti lang yung kaibigan mo rito sa trabahong ito na magkakaintindihan kayo ng wavelength at interest.

“As of now, iba pa rin si Rico as a friend—yung puwede mong iiwan sa bahay.

"Di ba kasi, usually ‘pag wala ka, aalis na rin siya?

“Hindi, e. Si Rico yung kaibigan na pagdating mo, malalaman mo na lang.

“He sings with my dad and nag-inuman sila, you know what I’m saying?

“It’s really hard to find yung ganyang klaseng kaibigan… si Marvin, ganyan din.

“Yung kahit wala ka, close din sa parents mo.

“Yun yung ibig kong sabihin, yung tiwalang na-instill niya sa mga tao.”

RICO'S MOM. Nakausap din ng PEP ang ina na Rico na si Mrs. Sita Yan.

Aniya, tungkol sa yumaong anak,"After ten years, he is still part of our lives. Everything about him, I guess,

"What I cannot still not understand or get over is how much he has touched the heart of so many people, so many.

“Katulad kanina, I just came from the tomb this morning, at nakita kong ang dami ng fans dun na naglalagay ng bulaklak sa puntod ni Rico.

“Sabi ko nga, ‘Wow! It’s just a short time but he touched [the lives of] so many people!’

“And I guess, I’m, not questioning that anymore why he died, he left us but so much so much very much part of our life up to now.”

Tinanong din namin si Mrs. Yan kung napapanaginipan niya o nagpaparamdam si Rico sa kanya.

“Hindi naman, hindi naman. Pero sometimes, mga funny dreams about him.

“It’s like… one morning, I woke up that I hold a baby, I hold him with my arms… but it’s not a lot, very few dreams lang.

“We always remember him, lalo na when we go in our house in Baguio, it’s full of Rico—his portrait, all his ads and endorsement posters are there.”

Ano ang masasabi ni Mrs. Yan tungkol sa nabanggit ni Fr. Caluag na si Rico raw ang standard ng ABS-CBN sa paghanap ng magaling na artista?

“Oh, wow! When I heard it kanina, as I said, that’s what I’m wondering this past year lang.

“Maybe kasi, I’m in the States, I was abroad for a long time.

“I talked to some people there who knows Rico, they talked about Rico, how can somebody who was in showbiz for just seven years, has just an effect in so many people… I just don’t know what is it.

“But of course, I’m very very happy, I’m very very pleased, I hope that he will always be the standard.”

Ayon kay Dominic, gusto raw palang maging Presidente ng Pilipinas si Rico. Nasabi ba ni Rico ito kay Mrs. Yan nung nabubuhay pa ito?

“Well, he didn’t tell me that, pero a lot of people will tell him that he will become a president.

“Kasi when we used to go around the country, sasabihin sa kanya ng mga tao, ‘Mr. President.’

“Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Oh, boy!’

“But you know, we were really not discussing that, kasi he was not that mature.

“Siguro mag-congressman muna sya… siguro dahil meron siyang kakaibang karisma sa tao na hindi natin alam.”

Kung buhay si Rico, can he become the President of the Philippines?

“Honestly, no!

"Kasi he’s a very sensitive person, hindi niya kaya 'yang dumi ng politika.

“Hindi niya kaya yun!” sabi ni Mrs. Yan.

[angelkisssess]

gwapo ni rico yan! sana sya nalang napakasalan ni claudine!
