Comedian and impersonator Michelle O'Bombshell passed away.

His death was announced by fellow comedian Pepita Curtis in a Facebook post on Monday.

"Paalam Nay Michelle O'Bombshell, lalong masaya diyan ngayon sa Taas dahil andyan po kayo," Pepita wrote.

In another post, Pepita shared an old chat conversation with Michelle, where he thanked the comedian for being his writer in his birthday concert in 2024.

"Nagpapasalamat ako dahil naging writer ka ng birthday concert ko nay. Buong buhay kong iche-cherish 'yon," he said. 

"'Di namin malilimutan kung gaano ka kagaling sa entablado, kung gaano ka kabilis mag-isip ng mga punchlines na magugulat ang lahat, ang husay mo mag-Ingles, timing, bagsak, isa ka pong idol nay!" Pepita added.

Pepita also shared that despite being new, Michelle never treated him harshly, but instead supported him in his career.

"Never n'yo po ako sinungitan kahit nung bago pa lang po ako, hindi ka po maramot sa suporta sa mga juniors na katulad ko. Nakakakaba sumabay sa wit and humor mo nay pero wala kang ka ere ere," he said. 

"Habang tina-type ko 'to, binubura ko, nahihiya ako mag-post ng ganito kahaba pero minsan lang naman ito para sa 'yo Nay," Pepita added.

Born Roderic Cuntapay, Michelle or Ador starred in several comedy films such as "Wapakman," and "May Amiga Girl."  He most recently appeared in "Family Feud" where he played alongside his fellow comedians.
