Danilo ‘Totong’ Federez, the man and the voice behind Arnold Clavio’s ‘Arn-arn’ puppet, has passed away. He was 62 years old.
Clavio made the announcement on ‘Unang Hirit’. The Kapuso journalist said Totong died in his sleep.
“Sa pagkakataong ito, medyo nabigla kaming lahat at nakikiramay po kami kay Maris, ang naulila po ni Totong Federez,” GMA News quoted Clavio as saying.
“Hindi niyo alam si Totong po ay nagpasaya sa inyo sa napakaraming taon dito sa ‘Unang Hirit.’ Si Totong po ay nasa likod ni Arn-arn,” he added.
Clavio thanked Totong on behalf of the lives he touched through Arn-Arn.
Totong started to have health problems in 2017 and suffered from stroke that affected his walking and speech.
