Internet sensation and singer Gigi de Lana posted an emotional tribute for late mom on Instagram.
Singer Gigi de Lana was overcome with emotions as she again paid tribute to her late mother Imelda, who passed away last May 14.
In 2023, Gigi revealed that her mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
The viral singer posted some photos taken from the wake on Instagram and wrote in the caption that she is heartbroken over her death.
She posted, “Miss na miss kita Mama. Ang hirap ma. Ang sakit sakit. We are not perfect. I'm not perfect, I made mistakes and I'm sorry."
“But I am perfect to my mom. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng nagpunta. And sa lahat ng nag-condolence. It's ok if 'yung iba hindi nakapunta. Ok lang 'yun. Alam ko mga busy din kayo. Salamat.”
Before ending her post, she also stated that she will be taking a break for the meantime.
“Pahinga lang din muna ako. This is very painful.”
“Kasi kami lang dalawa ang magkasama hanggang sa paglaki ko. My mom raised me well. Ang sakit lang na hindi ko na [mafi-feel] yakap niya. Pati pag [susuklayin] niya sa buhok ko. Mahal na mahal ko siya.”
Several celebrities and colleagues of Gigi expressed their support to her amid this difficult period in her life including Janno Gibbs, Luis Manzano, and StarStruck alumna Jackie Rice.
In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Gigi shared that she competed in several TV singing competitions before including Popstar Kids (2007) and in It's Showtime's hit singing competition "Tawag ng Tanghalan" (2016).
Gigi is also a viral sensation. In 2021, her YouTube video singing a cover of “Through the Fire” and “Piano in the Dark” went viral. The video has now amassed over 52 million views.
