Mensahe ni Direk Chris: “Simula nang mapanood ko ang offline edit ng A Lab Story, buo na ang paniniwala ko sa husay ni Uzziel Delamide sa pag-arte.

“Mas lalo akong nabilib sa kanyang performance sa Uwian kung saan s’ya nanalo ng Best Supporting Actress para sa student shorts category ng Puregold CinePanalo.

“Simula lang sana ang Si Sol At Si Luna sa napakarami nating mga proyekyong gagawin. Gustong-gusto namin na lahat di ka lang magaling na aktres, isa ka rin sa nagbibigay-saya sa set.

“Paalam, Uzziel… Nakakabigla ang iyong paglisan.

“Hinding-hindi ka namin makalilimutan…”

Sa A Lab Story, gumanap si Uzziel bilang isang teenager na Aeta na sumali sa quiz bee.

Para naman sa kanyang pagganap sa Uwian, nanalo si Uzziel ng Best Supporting Actress sa CinePanalo.

UZZIEL DELAMIDE AS A FRIEND

Nagbalik-tanaw ang malapit na kaibigan ni Uzziel na si Maria Kydylee Torato, short film writer-director, sa magandang pinagsamahan nila ng pumanaw na aktres.

Lahad niya: “It’s my first time losing a very close friend, and I still can’t believe it’s you.

“Where do I even begin?

“I can still remember the first time I saw you. It was through an audition video you sent for my film Bisan Abo, Wala Bilin. I was struck by your performance kasi ang galing mo. But unfortunately, you didn’t get the role because you looked too young to play a mother.

“But that didn’t stop us from becoming friends. We bonded instantly because we both came from the same province. As a fellow Capizeña, you made me feel like I wasn’t alone—that someone from our hometown was out there, shining brightly on stage and on screen. You made me believe that it was possible for someone like us to take up space in this industry.

“My best memory about you was when you’d always invite me to your shows in Manila. Lagi kang nangungulit, asking if I’d be visiting so you could add me to your guest list. You wanted me there, cheering you on, witnessing your brilliance firsthand. I regret not being able to say yes more often.

“Your sudden passing feels like an unexpected curtain call for an actress who was still in the middle of her most brilliant performance—so young, so talented, with so much more to give.

“I miss you already, dai. Rest easy, Uzziel. Let’s make more films in heaven soon.”
