Cristalle Henares (daughter of Dr. Vicki) says Raymond has a holistic approach in losing weight. He did not only take advantage of their Sexy Solutions (a non invasive way of getting rid of stubborn fats – “para kang pinaplantsa”, says Raymond) but he also went on strict diet and exercise. He did boxing regularly and also worked out in a gym.
Several people paid tribute to Raymond. Director Carlo Caparas and producer Donna Villa of Golden Lions, who introduced him and Richard in their first movies as child actors), said he has always been a very good actor. His own mom Annabelle Rama revealed that he’s the one who really wanted to be an actor. “Si Richard, tamad umarte kaya dumodobol si Raymond sa kanya.”
His dad Eddie Gutierrez said Raymond has always been a diligent student and never gave them any problems while he was in school. Esquire Mag editor in chief Erwin Romulo praised him for being very professional and organized as their fashion editor and said even their bosses in New York commend him. Other friends who greeted him on cam were Georgina Wilson, Solenn Heussaff, Liz Uy, and her own sister Ruffa G. But the cutest ones were his nieces Lorin and Venice who said they’re so proud of him now that he lost weight.
