Roy Alvarez dies of cardiac arrest

Alvarez was part of the GMA 7 TV series "Villa Quintana"

Veteran character actor Roy Alvarez died of cardiac arrest on Tuesday, February 11.  He was 63.

Elmo Magalona, Roy’s co-star in the GMA series “Villa Quintana” said in a telephone interview that the late actor’s  road manager informed him and the rest of the drama series’ stars and staff about the shocking piece of news.

“We had taping last week and we were having fun.  I didn’t see it coming. This week,  the script had to be revised so we have no taping schedule.  We usually tape Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.”

Elmo remembers his co-star for his many stories, among them, those dealing with ghosts and how he quit smoking a long time ago.

“Hinulaan pa nga ako ni Tito Roy through numerology.”

Roy also starred in GMA 7’s  epic serye “Amaya.”

His remains will be brought to Santuario de San Jose, Greenhills.
