Oducayen had been working for ABS-CBN for a long time as a production manager under RSB Scripted Format. She had been part of several ABS-CBN teleseryes such as Pamilya Ko.
On Friday, July 24, one of Pamilya Ko cast members Sylvia Sanchez shared a message on her Instagram post to mourn the death of her colleague. The last time she was with Oducayen was during the protest held on the day Congress was to vote for ABS-CBN’s franchise.
In her post, Sanchez reminisced her memories of how Oducayen showed how she cared for her.
“Nagulat ka noong makita mo ako at ang sabi mo, ‘Ibiang, ba’t andito ka? Delikado sa ‘yo! Kakaopera mo lang at kakalabas mo lang ngayon sa hospital.’ Tatlong beses mo ako pinipilit umuwi; sabi ko sa ‘yo, ‘Okay lang Ms. Mavic, kaya ko.’ Ang sakit at panghihina ko na galing pa ako sa operasyon pwedeng mawala at makalimutan balang araw, pero ang sakit at konsensya na ‘di ko nasuportahan at nasamahan ang pangalawang tahanan ko na naglapag ng pagkain sa pamilya ko ng 27 years at ‘di ko nasamahan ang mga Kapamilya ko sa araw ng desisyon ng kongreso ay ‘di ko kakayaning dalhin habangbuhay. Ayaw kong pagsisihan ‘yan,” Sylvia said
They both expressed how they both missed each other, especially during Pamilya Ko tapings.
“Noong marinig mo ‘yong rason ko, sabi mo lang, ‘Okay Ibiang, pero uwi ka kagad ha.’ ‘Di mo ako tinantanan sa pagpapauwi, kulit-kulit mo. Kulang na lang kargahin mo ako papuntang kotse ko, at sabi nating dalawa miss na miss na natin ang isa’t isa. Sanay akong bago mag-lockdown magkasama tayo MWF sa taping ng ‘Pamilya Ko.’ Lagi tayong magkausap, nagtatawanan, nagkukulitan, usap about mga anak natin, bilang ikaw ang production manager ng ‘Pamilya Ko.’ At sabi ko pa sa ‘yo, ‘Ms. Mavic, bawal yakap at nagkatawanan na lang tayo,” she added.
According to Sylvia, Oducayen was severely affected by the franchise denial, especially since she was one of those who were retrenched. Being a loyal and dedicated kapamilya for several years, it was too much for Oducayen who suffered a heart attack.
“Kung alam ko lang na ‘yon na pala ang huling araw na makita kita, e niyakap na kita ng pagkahigpit-higpit. After ilang araw isa ka sa nasabihan na mare-retrench. Ikinalungkot, ikinagalit, ikinasama ng loob mo ang nangyari sa ABS-CBN at sa pagkawala bigla ng trabaho mo na iningatan at inalagaan mo sa mahigit dalawang dekada, at isa ito sa naging dahilan kaya ka nawala sa piling namin. Ikaw ang sabi ng sabi, ‘Uwi ka, Biang kasi delikado ka.’ ‘Yon pala ikaw ang delikado Ms. Mavic,” she said.
Sylvia felt sad and angry about what had happened. She had thought this would not happen if consideration was given for the employees amid the pandemic.
“Ang sakit-sakit, ang lungkot-lungkot. Hindi sana nangyari ‘to kung pinairal lang sana ang kunsiderasyon para sa mga empleyadong katulad mo sa gitna ng pandemya,” ani Sylvia.
