One of the notable messages that the late veteran choreographer Anna Feliciano received was from her former husband Mel Feliciano, who expressed both his gratitude and apology for the moments they shared together.
Mel took to his Facebook page on Wednesday, Oct. 29, to bid farewell to his ex-wife, adding that their breakup was for the best since they learned valuable lessons as individuals.
‘Paalam ANNA gusto ko malaman mo at sinabi ko sayo na salamat ng nagkahiwalay tayo marami akong natutunan bilang isang AMA salamat sa pag alaga kay rupert tama man o mali ang paghhiwalay natin PATAWAD,’ he wrote.
(Goodbye, Anna. I want you to know, and as I’ve told you when we broke up, that I’m thankful because I learned a lot of things as a father. Thank you for taking care of Rupert. Whether or not we did the right thing in separating, all I can say is forgive me.)
Mel further said that the end of their relationship was God’s plan, saying he and his family will be supportive of Anna until the end. He added that various dancers made an appearance at her wake to express their love for her.
‘Ang lahat ng ito ay plano ni lord mula unang araw hanggang last day nandon ako d ako nagpost ng kahit ano gusto ko MOMENT MO YON at salamat sa mga dancers nag effort para sumayaw sa wake mo MULA SA PAMILYA KO AT SA PAMILYA MO LUBOS AKONG NAKKIRAMAY [we’ll] pray for ur soul,’ he said.
(All this is part of God’s plan. From the first day [of the wake] until the last day, I was there. I did not post anything. It was your moment. Thank you as well to the dancers who made an effort to dance at your wake. From my family to yours, I want to express my deepest sympathy. We’ll pray for your soul.)
As revealed by Mel, several dancers who worked under Anna’s helm – including SexBomb member Jopay Paguia – paid tribute to the seasoned choreographer by performing an energetic routine.
‘Huling sayaw para sayo ma (This is our last dance for you, mom),’ her daughter-in-law April said while sharing a clip on Facebook.
Anna’s death was confirmed by her family last Oct. 23. She died of a heart attack at 65 years old.
She is notable for creating dance routines on television, including the now-defunct game show ‘Wowowin.’
