Superstar Nora Aunor has the privilege of working numerous times with writer-director-actor Mario O'Hara, who passed away earlier today, June 26. The late director's last major work was Nora's mini-serye on TV5, Sa Ngalan ng Ina.

Nais ng namayapang direktor na magkatipun-tipon ang kanilang pamilya sa sandali ng kanyang cremation.

May isa pang kapatid na babae sina Mario at Jerry na nagbalik-bayan mula sa Amerika.    

Malaking pamilya ang mga O'Hara kaya na-anticipate ni Direk Mario ang discomfort 'pag sabay-sabay na magsasama sa okasyon ang mga direktang kapamilya at mga kasamahan at kaibigan niya mula sa iba't ibang larangang naging bahagi siya.

Ito rin ang ipinanghihingi ng paumanhin ng pamilya O'Hara, sa pamamagitan ni Paolo.

"Pasensiya na, last wish 'yon ni Tito Mario, e," sabi niya.

Samantala, ang kasabihang "the show must go on" ay posibleng maging applicable sa mga artistang kaanak ni Direk Mario.

Pawang mga artista sa teatro, telebisyon, at pelikula sina Paolo at mga magulang na sina Jerry at Peewee O'Hara.

Katunayan, bahagi sila ng magbubukas na 8th Virgin Labfest bukas, June 27, sa Tanghalang Huseng Batute sa Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Si Paolo ang direktor ng dulang Kawala (Revisited entry) na isinulat ni Rae Red; at dalawa sa major characters dito ang ginagampanan ng mag-asawang Peewee at Jerry.  

Sa Linggo, July 1, naitakda ang showing ng dula sa Tanghalang Huseng Batute ng CCP.

    I really like Mario O'Hara. It's too bad he left us so early. Rest in peace, Mario. I wish that one day, you will be named National Artist for Film. Thank you so much for leaving us very nice films that will last the test of time. Paalam, Mario O'hara.

    Philippine showbiz has lost another genius. I remember watching him up close on stage in PETA's Pinoy adaptation of Kiss of the Spiderwoman or Halik ng Tarantula with Julio Diaz. I was amazed at his talent. Actor or director. Sayang, I was awaiting another collaboration pa naman between him and erstwhile talent Nora Aunor. May he rest in peace.

    Goodbye to one of the most brilliant directors in Philippine cinema. Your legacy will truly continue to shine and live on. It is so hard to imagine that the great Nora Aunor won't be able to collaborate with Direk Mario again. All their collaborations truly created magic.
