The Philippine entertainment industry continues to mourn the loss of Jaclyn Jose, one of its brightest stars and most respected actresses. As family, friends, and fans gather to pay their last respects at her wake, heartfelt tributes and memories have poured in, highlighting her remarkable career and impact on the industry. However, during the solemn event, actor Coco Martin shared a shocking revelation that left everyone in attendance emotional—Jaclyn Jose apparently had a premonition about her passing.
Coco Martin, who worked closely with Jaclyn in various projects, including the highly acclaimed television series Ang Probinsyano, delivered an emotional speech at the wake. While reminiscing about their time together, Coco revealed a conversation he had with Jaclyn just weeks before her death. “She told me something that I dismissed at the time,” Coco said, his voice cracking with emotion. “She said, ‘Coco, when my time comes, I hope people will remember me for the passion I poured into my craft and for the love I gave my family.’ At the time, I thought she was simply reflecting on her career, but now I realize it was her way of preparing us for her departure.”
Coco added that Jaclyn had always been deeply reflective, often sharing her thoughts about life, family, and the legacy she hoped to leave behind. According to him, the actress had recently been talking about the importance of cherishing every moment and staying true to one’s purpose. “She seemed at peace during our last conversations,” Coco recalled. “Looking back, it’s as if she knew her time was near, but she wasn’t afraid. She embraced it with grace.”
The revelation has struck a chord with many of Jaclyn’s fans and colleagues. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages expressing admiration for her courage and self-awareness. Many described her as a beacon of wisdom and inspiration, not only for her stellar acting but also for the way she carried herself in life.
Jaclyn Jose’s daughter, Andi Eigenmann, who has been visibly heartbroken during the wake, also shared her thoughts on her mother’s apparent premonition. “My mom always had a way of seeing things clearly,” Andi said. “She taught me to accept life’s uncertainties and to focus on what truly matters—family, love, and integrity. Her words now feel like a gift, a reminder to live life fully.”
The wake has been a gathering place for some of the biggest names in Philippine showbiz, all coming together to honor Jaclyn’s legacy. Fellow actors, directors, and producers have shared stories about her professionalism, her generosity on set, and her unwavering commitment to her craft. Many have echoed Coco’s sentiments, calling Jaclyn a “true legend” whose contributions to the industry will never be forgotten.
