Bumabaha ng pakikiramay sa social media para sa veteran actor-director Fritz Ynfante na pumanaw sa edad na 84.
Sumakabilang-buhay ito noong July 21, base sa isang black and white artcard na nasa social media.
At kabilang at nagbigay ng madamdaming mensahe ay si Martin Nievera at inalala kung anong klaseng pelikula ito. “Today we lost one of the industry’s best and most demanding directors. There was no compromise. It was his way or the super highway! He was a perfectionist to a fault, but that was only because he knew he could get the very best out of all those he directed, mentored and loved. His choice of words were a language all his own, but he got the job done. He gave me my first pair of wings as a tv host on a television show called, Penthouse Live, and was a true believer of the Pops and Martin team.
“He always trusted us with his direction and his gazillion changes on every script. His attention to detail was second to none and he spared no one’s feelings when defending what he knew in his heart was right,” pagbibigay ng papuri ni Martin sa kanilang director noon ni Pops Fernandez.
“All of these ingredients mixed with love and passion were the makings of a director I am blessed to say was instrumental with my career on television. He was even one of the first directors to turn the concert princess into the concert queen. Tito Fritz I will forever be grateful. I will miss you. Thank you for all you did not just for me, but for all of us whose careers you scolded and molded until each of our dreams came true. I love you!”
