Karylle mourns passing of Papa M.Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari
By Nidz Godino
“It is with profound sadness that I announce passing of my dad, Papa M, Doc, Dr. ‘M,’ Moy, Tito M…he was beloved man who lived life fully…always presence in room, while also making sure everyone felt seen and heard…he, too, was always seen and heard with his handsome “cute” face, youthful porma, and booming voice,” wrote on Instagram singer-actress-host Karylle confirmed passing of her father, Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari, in an Instagram post today.
“It’s Showtime” host penned moving tribute for her father, whom she fondly called Papa M.
Karylle described her late dad as “everyone’s dream dad.” Dr. Tatlonghari was type who “brightens up people’s days.” He was “Baguio boy and Laguna lad!” who was topnotcher at dental board.
Karylle also shared that her dad was boy scout, and revealed interesting story about it.
“Boy scout who was supposed to be one of the streets in Jamboree circle in Quezon City, I am grateful to Lolo Benny and Lola Thelma for not allowing him to go to jamboree despite him already having funding from San Miguel where lolo worked…it was pretty great life extension,” Karylle wrote.
On July 28, 1963, there were 24 Filipino Boy Scouts who were on their way to Marathon, Greece to join 11th World Scout Jamboree. Their plane crashed off Arabian Sea. Several streets in Tomas Morato area in Quezon City are named after Filipino Boy Scouts.
Karylle ended her post by recalling how she and Dr. Tatlonghari enjoyed movie “Little Shop of Horrors,” which had Manila staging where she was part of the cast.
“It means so much to me that he saw my play 4 times … ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ was our favorite movie and, like him, happy part of my childhood…it breaks my heart that I couldn’t have spent more time with him,” Karylle wrote.
Her post came with pictures from wake held in Santuario de San Jose Parish in Greenhills.
