Salaysay ni KZ bago umawit, “Hay, naku, nakakaiyak talaga! But… I think we’re all just here to celebrate the legend icon, Miss Jaclyn Jose.
“And her life and kung paano niya po tayo na-inspire lahat.
“I only had… parang a few opportunities na ma-meet po si Miss Jaclyn.
“And the most recent and the most impactful was actually just recently during the 29th anniversary ng ASAP.”
Noong Pebrero 4 nagdiwang ng ika-29 anibersaryo ang ASAP Natin ‘To.

STARSTRUCK WITH JACLYN JOSE
Pagpapatuloy ni KZ, “It was live, so lahat kami nagtatakbuhan, kasi kailangan naming mag-quick change, mga damit, ganyan.
“As I was running towards the corridor of the studio, nakita ko si Miss Jaclyn palabas.
“Siyempre na-starstruck ako. Tapos tumigil ako, nagbigay-pugay ako sa Kween.
“Tapos biglang sabi niya sa akin, ‘You know what, I’ve been supporting you,’ sabi niya. ‘I’ve been watching your videos. Even when you were in China.’
“And at that time, I just said, ‘Maraming-maraming salamat po. Thank you.’
“Tapos, patakbo na ulit ako, kasi hinahanap na ako. But she held my hand, and she held it tight.
“At sinabi niya, ‘Hindi, seryoso talaga ako. I’ve been supporting you.’ At dun, nagulat ako. Kasi siyempre…
“Totoo ba ito? Kilala ba talaga ako ni Miss Jaclyn?” gumaralgal na sambit ni KZ.
“So, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya, tapos tumango lang ako. ‘Thank you po,’ tapos umalis ako.
“And then now I realized na even though I did not have a lot of opportunity to really get to know her, that brief and impactful moment already tells you who she is as a person.
“Kahit na nagmamadali ang lahat ng tao, despite all the chaos that was happening inside ABS-CBN nung time na yon, she did not waste an apportunity to tell a stranger like me that I was worthy of support.”

A SONG FOR JACLYN JOSE
Tumingin si KZ sa urn na kinalalagyan ng cremains ni Jaclyn at in-extend ang isang bisig, “So thank you po, hindi ko alam kung iaabot iyan. But… yon.
“So I can only imagine how… the closest friends and family must feel during this time.
“But yun nga po, yung brief moment na yun will always be a memory I will always go back to pag siguro bigla kong kinuwestiyon kung tama ba iyung mga ginagawa ko.
“Na isang beses sinabi sa akin ni Miss Jaclyn Jose na sinusuportahan niya ako.
“So, kakanta na po ako kung kaya ko po.”
Nakatitig si KZ sa urn habang inaawit ang "Always Remember Us This Way" ni Lady Gaga:
“That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes/ You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire/ It's buried in my soul like California gold/ You found the light in me that I couldn't find
“So when I'm all choked up/ And I can't find the words/ Every time we say goodbye/ Baby, it hurts
“When the sun goes down/ And the band won't play/ I'll always remember us this way
“Lovers in the night/ Poets tryin' to write/ We don't know how to rhyme/ But, damn, we try
“And all I really know/ You're where I wanna go/ The part of me that's you will never die
“So when I'm all choked up/ And I can't find the words/ Every time we say goodbye/ Baby, it hurts
“When the sun goes down/ And the band won't play/ I'll always remember you this way…”
Marami ang humihikbi habang umaawit si KZ.
