Tributes pour in for Amalia Fuentes
The veteran actress, who died on October 5, is remembered by her family and fellow celebrities

MANILA, Philippines – Philippine cinema lost one of its greats on October 5 with the death of actress Amalia Fuentes at age 79.

In the wake of her passing, celebrities paid tribute to Fuentes. Among them were members of her family – many of whom were actors themselves.

In a touching message on Instagram, her nephew Aga Muhlach said: “You started it all for us. You have taught me so much in life. You were an inspiration.”

Another nephew, former child star Niño Muhlach, posted a video of his son Alonzo serenading Fuentes with a song.

Fuentes’ son-in-law, actor Albert Martinez posted several photos of the actress, including one with her daughter, Albert’s late wife Liezl, who died in 2015. In the caption he simply wrote “Amalia Fuentes 1940-2019 Rest In Peace.”
