Mama Cita, I’ll always cherish the few but meaningful moments we shared. It was a blessing to witness your joy during your birthday celebrations in Lumban, and to see how loved you were as everyone came together to honor you. Very grateful also that I was able to spend Mother's Day with you last 2022.
I still have the bag you personally gave to me back in 2016—and it remains one of my favorites. I still use it to this day, and it reminds me of you every time. It carries so much meaning now.
Thank you, Mama Cita for the memories you’ve left behind. You will be deeply missed and remembered with so much love. Mamimiss ko po yung radiant smile nyo. Rest in Peace, Mama Cita. You are now resting peacefully with Papa Liloy.

Dear Mama Cita,
Every time I saw your beautiful smile during our calls, my heart was filled with warmth. Your presence radiated such lightness that even from afar, I could feel the profound love of a grandmother. I cherish the times when your mind was sharp, and you'd share inside jokes that had us all laughing. I also fondly remember your efforts to recall some "Bisaya words," which truly touched my heart.
I loved how much joy you brought us during those calls. I could see how bravely you held onto your memories and how fiercely you fought to stay with your loved ones. I will truly miss hearing you answer with "bokya" or "pera." I was so looking forward to meeting you in person this August, but I know that God's plan is always greater than our own.
Your precious grandson, AA, I promise to care of him and love him with all my heart, just as deeply as you did. I know a grandmother's love is incomparable, but I will do my best to shower him with love, care, and support him in ways I can.
I feel blessed that I got to see your beautiful smile just two weeks before you left us forever. You will forever remain in our hearts and minds, Mama Cita.
You are truly legendary, Mama Cita. Your story, bravery as a woman, mother, grandmother, and how much you poured love to your loved ones, and all your selfless sacrifices, will never, ever be forgotten. We love you dearly.

Hi Mama Cita,
Upon making this, I still don't know how to process my emotions. You are a blessing from God to me, Ashley, AA and JJ to be able to experience the kind of love that a grandparent can give to their grandchildren. I still remember and grateful how you showed your love especially for us sibling because you bought me some toys or some sort of pasalubong whenever you went home from church. You also bought one for Ashley so we don't end up fighting each other. You also know that I'm a picky eater that I always ended up eating Hotdogs in every meal of the day or only eat the skin part of a fried chicken. Which is why when I started wanting to try other foods especially Prawns Tempura in Tokyo Tokyo, you always ended-up buying those after going to church. I just hope you were aware that I eat my veggies now and I try my best not to be a picky eater.
You were also one of the person who I took inspiration with to strive hard and give my best especially in school because of the first medal that I have earned. You said it directly to me "Iyang medal na yan, ipunin mo yan tas pag sama-samahin mo lahat ng maiipon mo kasi mga pinaghirapan mo yaan". At first I really don't care about it but I can feel how proud you are of my achievements. Until your last moments, you are still proud of me cause I recently got hired and got a job. When you heard the news, your memory started kicking in and you suddenly wanted to talk to me and congratulate me. I was so happy because you were happy and proud and at the same time, sad because that's the last time I was able to witness that you are in a good mood and remembered everything that is happening. While we're having a good time, you suddenly started bidding farewell to us and saying that your time is near. It's sad while at the same time, maybe God told you that it's almost time and gave you the strength to say your final good byes to us.
Even though all of us are preparing for this time to come and even thought that it will come earlier cause a lot of challenges came especially the Pandemic, it is still not sinking in now that you're really gone. I still believe that I can fulfill the promise to you to treat you in Tokyo Tokyo when you come home here in August. It's a shame that I can't fulfill this promise anymore. Maybe in another life or in another universe, I can fulfill this promise to you.
Rest well, Mama Cita. I hope that you and Papa Liloy are reunited now.in heaven.
We will miss you and never forget you.
I love you always, Mama Cita

I still remember the stories Mommy used to tell how overjoyed you were when you found out I was going to be a girl. You wasted no time, already buying dresses and little pieces of jewelry, preparing to shower me with your love even before I was born. As a child, I always looked forward to the moments when you came home from church. You never arrived empty handed Jollibee, McDonald’s, little treats just for us. You made every visit feel special. When Mommy was upset with me, you were my quiet protector, the one who stood between me and the storm with gentle arms and understanding eyes.
I will carry all these memories with me for the rest of my life. Losing you has left a deep ache in my heart. It hurts to know you won’t be there to see me graduate, to see the nurse I will become. But I know you’re finally at peace now. No more pain, no more struggle. I imagine Papa Liloy waiting with open arms in heaven, ready to welcome you home. And though I grieve, I am also filled with gratitude grateful to have been your granddaughter. I promise to honor that love. I’ll finish my studies, and I’ll become the kind of nurse you’d be proud of.
Rest well, Mama Cita. I love you more than words can ever say.
Forever your granddaughter,
With all my love.

Dear Mama Cita,
Thank you for all you did for Mommy, for us... I tend to forget somethings when I was young but I fondly remember visiting you in Bicutan, eating an amazing meal you prepared and just being present to hear our stories. It is unfortunate that I didn't get a chance to see you again when you visited the Philippines. But I hope you know that we love you even if we are miles apart. Although we cannot be there physically, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We will miss you dearly, Mama Cita.

Dear, Mama Cita. You were the best grandmother I could have ever asked for. When I was a kid, I remember you would always cook for me. I always requested your bopis, or fried chicken with gravy, which you happily made from scratch. You always visited us every week when we lived in Guadalupe, and bought me ice cream. One time, my mom even caught me hugging an old woman at the supermarket because I thought she was you. You were always one of my favorite people as far as I can remember. When we returned to the Philippines after having been away for many years, you were the first person I saw at the airport. I was so excited to see you that I hugged you so tight and for so long through the barricades even before we could fully exit. Then, when you came to live with us in New York, you were always on my side when I had fights with my mom as a teenager, and you always made me feel better when I was hurt. A grandparent's love is truly special in that way. I feel so lucky that I was able to grow up with yours because of how physically isolated we were with family. If I didn't have you in my life, I wouldn't have been able to be who I am today. There are so many things I'll miss about you, Mama Cita. I'll miss combing your hair, joking around with you, making you smile, tickling your feet just to be annoying, and most of all eating with you—you always loved to eat just as much as I do. I know your final years weren't so comfortable. Every movement you made, you grunted with pain, and you had many sleepless nights where you would always tell me that you couldn't sleep even though you napped a lot. I know you endured through all that discomfort just to be with us a bit longer. You were so strong that even a pandemic couldn't take you down despite all your comorbidities. I was a witness to that strength and will carry it with me as inspiration for the rest of my life. Thank you, Mama Cita for all that you've done for us, all the sacrifices, and all that you've endured. May you finally get the rest you deserve and reunite with Papa Liloy in heaven. We'll always love you and will never forget you, Mama Cita!

Rest in peace, Mama Cita.
We may not have been related by blood, but she was so much more than that to me—she was a mother, a big sister, a dear friend, and my kumare. Thank you for all the beautiful memories, for always thinking of us whenever there were gifts from the U.S.—we were always included. I would often tell my children that in this place we call home in Parañaque, I found not just a friend, but family.
She was the godmother of my second child, and I was honored to be the godmother at the wedding of her eldest. Our lives were woven together in so many ways.
I will miss you deeply, Mama Cita. But my heart finds peace knowing you're now reunited with Papa Liloy—no more pain, no more loneliness, no more dialysis. Rest easy now. You will always be remembered and loved.

Mama Cita, you were the silent strength that empowered Ate Daisy with unwavering courage to conquer her challenges. You were the radiant light that nurtured AA to be the remarkable person he is today. You fought with a heart of steel and made sure that they’re both well taken care of. Rest now , Mama Cita, you did phenomenally well.

the tribute and reflection on Mama Cita's Obituary.
In loving memory of Mama Cita, whose warmth, wisdom, and quiet strength touched all who had the privilege of knowing them. She carried a gentle grace that made every moment shared feel like a gift.
A cherished friend, a generous soul, and a steady presence through life’s many seasons, Mama Cita taught us the value of patience, kindness, Whether through a kind word, a listening ear, or a well-told story, she had a way of making people feel seen and valued. She was the rock that held a grounding force in her children's lives. They are truly blessed to have been given such a strong and courageous mother. Mama Cita was also blessed with 3 angels - Daisy, Alex, and AA who showered her with unfailing love, tireless care, and gentle affection.
As we reflect on her life, we are reminded that love doesn’t fade with time. It grows in memory, and in the way we live our own lives, it is better for having known her. We will carry her spirit with us, always.
Rest in peace, our dear Mama Cita. You are deeply missed and forever loved.
