In a heartwarming tribute to her lolo two years ago, Paulina revealed on Instagram then that the late National Artist was an incredible person, who always supported her.

“He was always there for me. Every event, every milestone, every recital and graduation, he was there (usually with a snack). He never failed to make me feel his love and support, even in the smallest of ways. I only hope that he, in turn, knew how much he meant to me, how much he inspired me, and how much I loved him.

She continued, “My Lolo spent 94 fruitful years on this earth, and last night on May 26 he passed peacefully with my mom by his side. We couldn't ask for more.”
