BB Gandanghari has returned to the Philippines after so many years as she visited the grave of her deceased loved ones, Royette Padilla among others.

On Instagram, BB uploaded a short compilation of videos as she and mom Eva Padilla visited the grave of Royette, who died early 2021.

"#BitterSweet: coming home is seeing the living and those who have passed. I miss my kuya Royet, ArikiSan, my brother in law whom I have always considered my father figure and my favorite nephew, Jack Jack," she wrote in the caption.

"I pray for your souls, may you rest in peace. Togetherness is precious… family ties that bind. Lots of food and laughter that brings joy to this otherwise lonely heart in a foreign land. My heart is filled, my soul refreshed. God is good… all the time."

BB also got reunited with her younger brother, Senator Robin Padilla, at the coronation night of Mutya Ng Pilipinas.

"#SiblingLove: “A sister is both your mirror -- and your opposite.”- Elizabeth Fishel. I've always been proud of you, carry on Senator @robinhoodpadilla," she wrote.
