Janine, the Fashion Designer & Makeup Artist
It was in the last quarter of 2009 when we first met Janine Hernandez. I’ve been hearing about him earlier than our first encounter and had visited his shop when I needed to rent a gown for a commitment. He was one of the prominent designers in Lipa City.
We had the privilege to work with him for many times since then. It was not because he became a client or he was too generous in sharing his creations that we had so much faith in him. It was plainly because we do. We had faith in his talent as a Batangueño whose works were at par with any other world-class couturiers.
Aside from being a fashion designer, Janine was also a make-up artist. A lot of models and beauty queens had been beautified by Janine’s skillful hands.
Janine, a Friend
Janine was such a kind-hearted person and was easy to get along with. He doesn’t brag about how good he was with what we do. He’s got a very humble soul despite our enormous admiration towards his talent in fashion design.
What we’re also thankful for was the friendship that we shared with him. Yes, it was short-lived but it was sincere and it was something we’d forever treasure.
Another thing that we will never forget about Janine was his generosity. He was there each time we would need his creations whether for a photo shoot or for personal endeavors. He would never say no to us and we couldn’t be thankful enough.
You will be missed.
Janine died of pancreatic cancer, an illness that was diagnosed too late. It was his ate Rose who shared everything that Janine went through for the past months. I couldn’t imagine how painful it was for Janine and for the rest of their family as well.
We could have shared so many years together but some things are really beyond our control. And for the last time, the WOWBatangas Team would like to thank you, Janine, for being part of our lives.
Janine is one of the most talented Batanguenos we know. Masaya kami na naging bahagi kami ng kanyang makulay na buhay. We will never forget those happy moments that we have shared, our events, photoshoots and all. Janine will truly be missed. At dahil love ng WOWBatangas si Janine, nandito pa rin tayo to help Maricel in furthering the promotions of Janine’s creations. We love you. — JR & Gerlie
We will forever be grateful for the things we had shared. I will never forget our pictorials when you let Gerlie and I had our own share of experiencing your wonderful creations. But beyond that, I will never forget our friendship. We will miss dropping by your shop just to make chika. Have a fabulous journey wherever you are now. Thank you for everything. We love you. — Dyan
