Romero’s daughter Maritess Gutierrez and grandson Chris as well as her close friends and fellow actors attended the necrological Mass in Arlington Memorial Chapel, Quezon City on Wednesday, Jan. 29, prior to bringing the late actress to the crematorium. While still in grief, Romero’s family addressed her supposed last will and testament that has surfaced on social media, and stressed that there is no truth to this.

Several art cards circulating online claim that Romero has more than P700 million in the bank, and that certain percentages of it will supposedly be used to build a provincial high school and to help charity institutions. Romero’s loved ones regarded the false claims as “misleading,” as per entertainment reporter MJ Marfori via “Frontline Pilipinas.” The family also appealed to the public to give them time as they mourn Romero’s passing.

Romero’s career as an award-winning actress spanned decades, starring in several films including “Dalagang Ilocana,” “Tanging Yaman” and “Magnifico.” Romero, born Gloria Anne Borrego Galla, was also known for being part of the TV shows “Palibhasa Lalake” and “Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko.” Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.
