Kapuso actor Gabby Concepcion paid tribute to the father of his former partner Grace Ibuna who passed away recently.

Gabby posted his homage to Rodolfo Ibuna in the comment section of Garie, her daughter with Grace.

He wrote: "He was a good man to me. We had a high level of respect between us. His good heart will always be our foundation. Rest in peace, Dad. We will miss you. Condolence to the Ibuna family."



Meanwhile, Garie, who is also in showbiz, posted a lengthy message for her grandfather. Part of it goes: "I am so proud to be the granddaughter of such a strong, smart and 'astig' person. You are the best grandfather someone could ever have. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for always being there. I love you and you mean the world to me. Please continue to watch over us. I will miss you..."

Heaven has gained another angel. Thank you for always being proud of me. For always being there when I need you and even when I don't. I havine nothing but amazing memories with you that I will cherish all my life. I wish you could have lived longer to see me become the woman I should be but I guess God has better plans for you. It pains me to know I won't be able to see you anymore, kiss and hug you. I will miss rubbing your tummy and sneakingly eating ice cream and chocolates. You were like my father- bringing me to my first day in kinder school, making sure I wont walk under the heat of the sun (even if school was just a few blocks away from home ♡), teaching me how to drive and ride a bike and scooter, for simply being there for me in important events in my life. I am so proud to be the granddaughter of such a strong, smart and 'astig' person. You are the best grandfather someone could ever have. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for always being there. I love you and you mean the world to me. Please continue to watch over us. I will miss you. Say hi to Dada for us when you see him. Rest now Papa. Till we meet again. I love you so much. Rodolfo S. Ibuna Nov 1, 1936- September 21, 2018 To whoever is reading this, we ask you to please include Papa and our family in your prayers. Thank you very much.
