Cruz, known for her roles in film and television since the ’90s, had maintained a close and respectful relationship with Solis throughout the years. Her brief but sincere tribute reflects the warmth and gratitude many stars continue to express for the woman who helped shape Philippine showbiz with her sharp wit, strong presence, and behind-the-scenes care.

Solis’s passing has sparked a wave of memories from celebrities who considered her not just a manager, but a mentor and maternal figure in the industry.

In her last Instagram post before her death, Lolit shared on Instagram that she had an anxiety attack while confined at FEU Hospital. She described waking up disoriented and emotionally overwhelmed by the unfamiliar hospital setting. Despite feeling weak and helpless, she expressed gratitude for the caring staff and doctors at the hospital. The talent manager reflected on the experience as an eye-opener and remains hopeful for recovery so she can return to the life she loves.

Lolit Solis was a well-known personality in the Philippine showbiz industry. Born on May 20, 1947, in Sampaloc, Manila, she started her career as an entertainment news writer and later became a talent manager and host of television talk shows.

In another report, Manay Lolit expressed disappointment over the partial senatorial election results, particularly Bong Revilla’s low ranking. She was alarmed by the number of votes Willie Revillame received and said she couldn’t accept the idea of him becoming a senator. Solis claimed that electing someone like Revillame would make the elections feel like a comedy and even called it a bad dream. The columnist urged voters to be wise and to choose the best leaders as a reflection of trust in those who will run the country.

Previously, the veteran columnist posted a heartfelt birthday message for Lani Mercado, who turned 57 on April 13. She praised Lani’s strength, loyalty, and her role as the legal wife of Senator Bong Revilla despite his child outside their marriage. The showbiz columnist emphasized the value of being the legitimate wife and highlighted Lani’s dignity and grace through personal challenges. Lastly, Lolit expressed pride in Lani’s children and called her a loyal, unchanged, and admirable woman through the years.
