Gladys Reyes shared an excerpt of her vlog with Jose where they’re chatting and joking around.
“Ate Jane, nakakagulat naman, binigla mo kaming lahat,” Reyes said in the caption. “Ang dami nating pinagsamahan, simula 9 years old ako sa Lovingly Yours Helen hanggang dito sa huling movie natin na Apag, di ka nagbago sakin.”
“Salamat sa mga tips, pag-alaga mo sakin na parang ate kita talaga. Nabawasan na naman ng isang magaling at de kalibreng aktor ang industriya,” she added.

Dimples Romana said we “lost another true icon,” as she shared a still from the movie Minsan May Isang Puso.
“Tita Jane, I remember all the laughter, the lessons you generously taught me as a young actor back when we were shooting this movie in 2001 and for our May Minamahal remake,” Romana said. “Mahal kita at laging yayakap ng mahigpit. You will never be forgotten.”
