The acting icon, celebrated for her portrayals in Lino Brocka masterpieces like “Insiang” and “Cain at Abel,” has been bedridden since 2016. Bocobo said her mother has refused to eat since Aug. 22.Particularly saddened by the seasoned actress’ passing is Mona Lisa’s granddaughter, actress-singer Celine Fabie, who has followed in her grandmother’s footsteps. Fabie was in Davao City for a concert with the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, of which she’s a member, when the veteran actress passed away.
“Other than her Alzheimer’s disease, it has been particularly difficult for my lola ever since she became bedridden three years ago,” Fabie told the Inquirer in a phone interview. “It was hard to see her struggle; there was no quality of life anymore.”Fabie’s mom, Evangeline Bocobo, a former flight attendant, has been taking care of the veteran actress until her sister Kathleen came home from the United States in July.
The actress, Gloria Yatco Guinto in real life, is considered one the country’s top character actresses. She turned 97 on June 22.
