MANILA, Philippines — The family of Jaclyn Jose expressed belief yesterday that there was no foul play in the death of the award-winning actress, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said.
Andi Eigenmann, daughter of Jose with the late actor Mark Gil, confirmed that she passed away due to a heart attack.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the untimely passing of my nanay, Mary Jane Guck, popularly known as Jaclyn Jose, at the age of 60 on the morning of March 2 due to myocardial infarction,” Eigenmann said at a press conference.
Jose was found dead at her house in Quezon City on Sunday.
“The family is asking for privacy. They believe that there is no foul play in her death. We are sympathizing with her family and friends,” PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo told reporters.
The death of Jose was confirmed by her talent agency, PPL Entertainment.
Jose earned recognition from different award-giving bodies. She won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 for her role in Brillante Mendoza’s “Ma’ Rosa.”
The Senate extended its “deepest… sincerest condolences” to the family of Jose.
“At the proper time, we will pass a resolution honoring her contributions in the entertainment industry,” Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said. —

Jaclyn Jose and Gino Antonio in "Private Show" (1986)
The young Jaclyn Jose was tapped by Director Lino Brocka for the role of Lynette, one of the three barrio lass recruited for jobs in the city. But instead of landing a good job, the three were forced into prostitution. The movie, "White Slavery" (1985), earned Jose an Urian Best Actress nomination. In 1986, Jose turned in another incredible performance as a young lass working as a “torera” in live shows. The movie, "Private Show" earned her another URIAN nomination, but it was in the movie "Takaw Tukso," also released that year, that won for her the URIAN Best Actress Award. "Takaw Tukso" also went on to win five other awards including Best Picture and Director.
A good start for the young actress who started her movie career with a big break in 1984 in the movie "Chikas." As everyone knows she matured into a fine and respected dramatic actress.

(Synopsis): Pinang (Emily Loren) is made a waitress in Mang Estong’s restaurant which has rooms for short-time trysts upstairs . Her boyfriend, Rodel (Patrick de la Rosa), a working student, visits her. He is saving enough money for their wedding. Although they engage in passionate kissing, Pinang refuses to have sex with him, wanting to remain pure for their wedding. Pinang is chided for meeting with her boyfriend. Mrs. Antiporda is anxious she might become pregnant. In order to teach her a lesson, she tells Mang Estong (Renato del Prado) to rape her. The experience is bitter to Pinang who prizes her virginity.
Joy (Sarsi Emmanuelle) is preened in a beauty parlor and is brought to a disco where she is swept by the charms of Allan (Ricky Davao). She gives in to his advances and after a few torrid bedroom bouts, she wakes up to find another man making love to her. It turns out that Allan is a pimp. Joy threatens to call the police but Mrs. Antiporda says that her operations are protected by the authorities. Allan tells her to be practical as she will be making lots of money. Who knows, she might find a foreigner who will marry her.
With the ugly side of their employment revealed, Joy tells Lynette (Jacklyn Jose), the youngest of the three, who is still waiting for her assignment, to run away. She gives her some money. But Lynette is caught by Bigote (Jimmy Santos) who rapes her. For being the instigator, Joy is also raped by the men. The two girls cry their hearts out after the brutalizing experience.
Pinang is brought back from the restaurant. She also threatens to call the police, but
Mrs. Antiporda laughs at it. No one would listen to her. Also, if she does return home, her town will not accept her as a defiled woman.
The three are now fulltime prostitutes in the brothel. They are closely guarded with the other women. One night, Pinang and Joy try to escape. Pinang manages to steal a knife and stabs one of the men. However, they are caught and locked inside a room.
Lynette is made to service customers, much against her will. She proves to be uncooperative. Bigote forces her to take drugs.
Allan still gets Joy for his hotel service. She is now less recalcitrant and listens to him. One night, he suggests that she and her two companions appear in a porn video. Joy convinces them to appear in an orgy scene directed by a foreigner.
Pinang begs Joy to ask Allan to allow her to see Rodel. She promises not to put them in any precarious situation. Allan reluctantly agrees and she meets Rodel in front of Jade Valley. She is brought to his boarding house where they have sex. She is happy to know that Rodel still loves her.
Lynette comes up with the news that she is pregnant. Joy is adamant that she gets an abortion because she won‘t be able to work with a fat stomach. Lynette protests that it would be against God’s will but counters it is also against His will if she couldn’t work. Mrs. Antiporda gets a midwife to perform the abortion. She starts to bleed. Joy begs her to get a real doctor, but the request is turned down. Lynette dies and her body is quietly removed in the dark of night.
Joy and Pinang are now desperate to leave. Joy manages to get into Mrs. Antiporda’s quarters and uses the phone. He calls Rodel who poses as a customer. He sheds a tear when he sees his loved one huddled with other girls in a waiting area visible through a glass door. He points to the two girls who are brought to a room. He has alerted the police and plans their escape. However, Joy is caught and tries to stab Bigote with a kitchen knife. But Bigote’s strength deflects her thrust and Joy is stabbed by her own hand. The police finally arrive and Joy is led out bleeding. She appears in the front pages of the newspapers bannering the raid.

===============================================================
Private Show was made in 1984 and was released locally in 1986 and won the Star Best Actress Award for the young Jaclyn Jose. The movie was the directorial debut of Chito Roño, who used the pseudonym Sixto Kayco in the credits.
Chito Roño is the eldest of seven children of Jose Roño, the former Minister of Local Government of the Marcos regime. His decision to join show business came as a surprise to the Roño family. With a full bachelor’s degree in filmmaking at the School for Social Research in New York, he ventured into film directing.
“My mother was shocked when she saw my first movie, Private Show, which was about the lives of toro/torrera or live sex performers,” he said in a newspaper article. “Hindi niya ako mapatawad because she is very religious. I told her it’s be much better if she wouldn’t watch my films na lang. My father was more liberal. He explained to her that it was just an exploitation film kundi art din.”
Private Show tells of a seventeen-year old girl, Myrna (Jaclyn Jose) who is forced to work as a torrera (live sex performer) under Ador (Leopoldo Salcedo), owner and maintainer of the casa or toro house. She and her colleagues get free board and lodging in the casa and even alcohol which they use before and after the sex act. Myrna is attracted to her partner, Jimmy (Gino Antonio) which eventually becomes her boyfriend. After witnessing some deplorable scenes, Myrna decides to leave the casa and lives with Jimmy. They have a brief romantic interlude and, for the first time, their sexual trysts exude the true feelings of affection which are lacking when they mechanically perform their jobs at the casa. But, this short period of love and hope does not last. Myrna has grown dependent on drugs, Jimmy’s kidney trouble bothers him once more and they simply cannot make both ends meet. Myrna returns to the casa a broken individual, without the will to fight. She keeps popping in more prohibited pills and death comes quietly to claim her during a party that is meant to celebrate her maintainer’s expansion in the trade.

Now the two are separating and Pol has to find a job. Pol’s friend, Greg, tells him to go to Manila where he could make a living as a macho dancer. Although his parents think he is working as a waiter, Greg is actually a successful hustler. He is now going to Japan to join his Japanese boyfriend.In Manila, Pol is brought to see the mama-san of D’Pogi Niteclub. His crotch is felt approvingly and he is allowed to work. He is surprised to see the brazenness of the front act --- young boys like him masturbating in front of a largely foreign crowd. In the comfort room, he witnesses two male prostitutes thrashing a confrere. The fight is stopped by a short tomboy bouncer. The bruised one’s name is Noel (Daniel Fernando), who advises him to leave the club and instead work in a decent one ---MamaCharlie’s. He invites him to live in his one-room apartment in Quiapo.Pol is accepted by Mama Charlie and is introduced to the other guys. He is warned about Dennis (William Lorenzo) who is a dope pusher and an agent of Kid (Johnny Vicar), a crooked cop.Dennis and Noel are partners in an act that calls for them to shower and make love together. Pol is taught the movements of macho dancing. He is a fast learner and is soon allowed to join the pros on stage.On a free night, Noel introduces Pol to his female friends: Bambi (Jacklyn Jose) and her gang. They are prostitutes plying the Ermita trade and are often high on drugs. Bambi is attracted to Pol. But there is something on Noel’s mind that night. He is thinking of his sister, Pining (Princess Punzalan), whom he left in the province. He has been informed that she suddenly disappeared and that she could be the captive of white slavery gangs preying in remote areas. According to his information, she could be in one of the heavily guarded red houses in Manila.With the help of Pol, he combs the prostitution dens of the city. They finally find her in one of the Chinatown brothels protected by Kid. They plot her escape but Noel is caught and shot by Kid. Pining is given Noel’s savings passbook and goes back to the province. Pol lies in wait for Kid and, seizing an opportunity, shoots him.Pol now tries to convince Bambi to give up streetwalking and join him in the province. But she is practical and knows that he cannot afford her lifestyle. They break up as friends.It is again a gay night at Mama Charlie’s. Pol dances for the last time on stage.(Source: Lino Brocka: The Artist and His Times)
