Douglas Cordovez Quijano became famous in show business as a columnist, talent manager, and star builder.

But to his alagas—a "mentor," "konsensiya," "mediator," "troubleshooter," among other qualities.

He also helped several companies—like Regal Films, Bench, and ABS-CBN—achieve what they are now.

Outside showbiz, he was a generous employer, "the best kuya," and a loyal and thoughtful friend.

He lived a colorful 64 years!

During his last day, all his alagas trooped to the chapel as early as 9:00 a.m.

Among the early birds were Joey Marquez and his sons Jeremy (right) and Yeoj (middle).

One of the topics discussed at Joey's table was the type and design of a mini-urn that would contain some ashes of Tito Dougs.

This golden-brass heart keepsake was one of the options.

But Gelli wanted plain silver. "Parang locket siya na malaki," she said.

Each piece costs P3,000.

Afterwards, Lucy joined her husband inside the chapel. "Look at the bird, it's still there," Lucy told Richard.

Outside the chapel, there was a slight commotion. Annabelle Rama (right) started giving away Zorro fans and umbrellas.

The mom of Richard Gutierrez, who filed a 25-million libel suit against PEP and editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon (left), said: "Ayan, 'day, kahit kaaway kita, bibigyan kita ng pamaypay at payong para hindi ka mainitan."

Everyone present at the table said, "Uy, bati na ba sila?"

They didn't reconcile that day. But, at least, they made a small talk.

Ynna Asistio came with her mom, Nadia Montenegro, and two younger sisters.

Tito Dougs used to be her manager, until Annabelle Rama spotted her and decided to take the 17-year-old actress under her wing.

In a previous interview with PEP, Ynna said, "Nag-usap naman po sina Tito Dougs at Tita Annabelle."

Janice de Belen to Tito Dougs: "I thank you for respecting my decisions...for understanding my want and my need for privacy. Thank you, for believing in me and for allowing me to always be real to myself..."

Francis Suplanos was the talent manager's driver for 20 years. He described Dougs as a generous employer. "Nagbibigay po siya sa panggastos, minsan, gamot, pati pampaaral ng mga anak ko," he revealed.

Nadia Montenegro: "I don't think anyone could ever compare how good a man you were, how...you're easy to work with. How selfless you were!"

From showbiz to motherhood to politics, Tito Dougs never withdrew his support from the former Regal baby.

Wendell Ramos was said to be one of Tito Dougs's "sakit ng ulo." A source said, "parati kasing late."

He was very composed while delivering his brief message, and was sincere when he said: "I am sorry."

Dougs would usually greet his wards with a cheery "yes!!!" But every time he would see John Estrada, he would say, "Hoy!"

But the boy who grew up in Basilan didn't mind. He wouldn't be where he is now without his talent manager.

Richard was officially introduced to showbiz in 1985 via Inday Bote. "Nagsimula sa pogi na hindi marunong umarte, natuto na lang," he chuckled.

More than two decades later, Goma became one of the most sought-after actor of his generation.

He shared several anecdotes about the man who discovered him that morning. And realizing that he'd never see Tito Dougs again, he wept.

Goma asked every one to give Tito Dougs a round of applause! "He deserves it!" he exclaimed.

After Goma, it was Joey's turn.

The famous celeb couple listened intently to the eulogy of Tsong, nickname of Joey.

Then came the painful part...

The priest asked the people in the chapel to say goodbye to Tito Dougs for the last time. Gome cried earnestly.

Tito Dougs eventually became a family friend of the Torreses.

Don Manuel Torres, the dad of Lucy, never missed a single night of the wake.

The Gutierrezs—Annabelle, Eddie, and Ruffa.

Did the mom and daughter already kiss and make up?
