In a previous social media post, Danica explained that since they weren't able to pronounce his name correctly when they were younger, they ended up calling him Papa Ebie, which is short for Papa Bonnevie.

She said Papa Ebie is also known as Atty. Bonnevie and that he was a very smart man.

Danica also said that they used to frequent Laguna to be with him and their bonding moment was usually swimming.

Our condolences to Danica Sotto, Ms. Dina Bonnevie, and all the loved ones left behind by Mr. Honesto Bonnevie.
