NAGPAABOT ng kanilang pakikiramay ang maraming local celebrities sa pagpanaw ng Philippine music legend na si Freddie Aguilar.

Pumanaw si Ka Freddie noong May 27.

Born Ferdinand Pascual Aguilar and fondly called Ka Freddie, he started performing in the early ’70s.

Isa si Aguilar sa naka-penetrate sa global music scene with his hit song na “Anak,” a finalist in the first Metropop Song Festival. It was released in March 1978 and translated in various languages worldwide.

Aguilar was also known for his rendition of “Bayan Ko,” which became the anthem of the first People Power Revolution in 1986.

Bukod sa “Anak,” inawit din ni Ka Freddie  ang “Bulag, Pipi at Bingi,” “Magdalena,” “Pulubi, “Ipaglalaban Ko,” and “Minamahal Kita.”

In their respective social media accounts, celebrities and personalities remembered, paid honor and said farewell to Aguilar.

“One of best if not the best singer/composer iI have produced. We love you Pareng Freddie! He will now be performing for a far greater audience,” wrote senator-elect Vicente “Tito” Sotto III.

“Farewell Freddie. Salamat sa mga awiting iniwan mo,” singer-songwriter and APO Hiking Society member Jim Paredes wrote.

“Sadly another OPM icon has passed Freddie Aguilar,” theater veteran Audie Gemora tweeted.

“Paalam Freddie Aguilar. Your music will live on #anak #ipaglalabanko #magdalena,” Senator Sonny Angara tweeted.

“OPM icon Freddie Aguilar has passed away today (May 27) at the PH Heart Center Hospital. He was 72 years old. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. His music will forever live on in our hearts,” actress Vivian Velez wrote.

Just last month, three gems of Philippine music passed away — OPM hitmaker Hajji Alejandro, Asia’s Queen of Songs Pilita Corrales and National Artist and Superstar Nora Aunor.
