Jose Manalo's estranged wife Anna Lyn Manalo passes away

Kapuso host Jose Manalo's estranged wife Anna Lyn Manalo has passed away, according to the comedian's daughter Myki Manalo.

She wrote on Facebook, "Our beloved Anna Lyn S. Manalo moved on from this world earlier today, January 14, 2022. With sadness in our hearts, we find solace in knowing that she is in a better place. She is survived by her five children, Sherwin Nicco, Don Benjamin, Myki, Ai, and Colyn. We plan to host an intimate and dignified memorial service once everything has been arranged. For the meantime, your prayers will be very much appreciated."

Myki also paid tribute to her late mother, whom she fondly called a "frustrated singer."

"You were a frustrated singer, Mommy. I remember you practicing this song again and again when I was younger. No matter the circumstances, you have always been the wind beneath my wings. Watch over me. Embrace me this way, Mommy. These photos are how I want to remember you. You loved me in the only way you knew how. It wasn't perfect, but it was still love. Thank you for giving me life. Thank you, Mommy. Thank you for fighting. Fly high and rest now. I love you so much. Always and forever."

The Eat Bulaga host got married to Anna Lyn when he was just 18 years old. They have four children: Benj, Myki, Ai, and Niccolo.
