Arnold Clavio paid tribute to puppeteer Danilo “Totong” Federez, the man behind Clavio’s puppet sidekick Arn-arn, who passed away yesterday, Aug. 17. | DCruzINQ

“Si Totong ang kaluluwa ni Arn-arn. Ang kanyang kanang braso ang nagpapagalaw sa kanyang bibig sa tuwing magsasalita,” he said. “Hindi biro ang trabaho ni Totong bilang puppeteer. Ilang oras din siyang nakaluhod pero walang reklamo.”

Clavio then recounted his visit to Federez’s home back in 2019, when they had been apart for a long time due to the latter’s health issues. He noted that at the time, Federez’s movements and health had changed a lot, but the puppeteer tried to convince Clavio to allow him to go back to work. “Sabi ko, oras na bigyan siya ng clearance ng doktor niya, agad-agad ay makakababalik siya. Pero alam kong malabo nang mangyari yun. At that time, nakita ko na ang blangkong pagtingin sa mga mata niya at naramdaman ko rin ang labis niyang pagkalungkot,” he recalled.

Clavio added that he saw in Federez a “Kuya ” that he never had since the latter served as a protector for him. Meanwhile, he sees Arn-arn as something that will only serve as a memory and “ulila na nilisan na ng kanyang ama .” “Paalam Totong. Nasa mabuti ka nang kalagayan sa piling ng ating Amang lumikha. Isang maligayang paglalakbay,” he addressed the departed puppeteer. Besides Clavio, fellow broadcaster Connie Sison and actor Jason Abalos were among those who sent their condolences to Federez’s family.
