By Father’s Day will no longer be the same for OPM hitmaker Ogie Alcasid, especially after the death of his father almost six years ago.
Ogie couldn’t help but feel emotional as he opened up about the time he lost his father, Herminio Sr., to Covid-19 on September 15, 2020. Such was the situation during the coronavirus pandemic that family members, even people of stature, were prohibited from visiting the sick or even seeing them even before they die, and their family was no exception.
The only time they would see their patriarch alive was when the nurse would train his camera on him during video calls with the Alcasid family. While they were initially told his father’s symptoms were just mild, Herminio Sr.’s condition deteriorated, and he would return to the family in an urn.
