Actress and singer Maymay Entrata is grieving the loss of her mother, who recently passed away.

The 28-year-old star shared the heartbreaking news in an Instagram post on Friday, May 16, 2025.

In the post, Maymay uploaded a video of her mother taking a walk, accompanied by a heartfelt message that serves as a tribute. 

“Mahal kong Inay, Isang malaking karangalan na ikaw ang naging Inay ko. Matapang mong hinarap ang lahat ng pagsubok at sakrpisyo para maitaguyod kaming buong pamilya,” she wrote. 

“Mamimiss kita Inay, mamimiss ko ang taong nagmahal at habang buhay mamahalin ako ng buo. Sayo ko natutunan ang mag mahal ng walang kapalit at habang buhay dala dala ko lahat ng natutunan ko mula sayo,” she added. 

Maymay also shared her gratitude and love for her mother, reflecting on the sacrifices they made for each other. 

“Maraming salamat sa iniwan mong kayamanan Inay, Kayamanang hindi galing sa lupa pero kayamang galing sa pagmahahal ng walang katumbas.” she said. 

The actress expressed how deeply she cherished their bond, saying she had no regrets about the sacrifices she made, as long as she could see her mother happy.

She also left a touching reminder to her followers:

“…hangga’t maaari, kasama n’yo pa ang mahal n’yo sa buhay.. yakapin nyo sila, iparamdam nyo kung gaano nyo sila kamahal, at huwag n’yong sayangin ang kahit isang araw na hindi ipinapakita po yon,” she cautioned.

“Sapagkat darating ang araw na ang mga yakap ay alaala na lang, at ang mga salitang hindi nasabi ay magiging bigat sa puso. Huwag kayong maghintay ng huli bago magsimulang magmahal nang buo.”

Maymay’s mother, who had reportedly been working in Japan, had been battling cancer for several years prior to her passing.

The Pinoy Big Brother alum was primarily raised by her grandmother, who is currently undergoing dialysis due to complications with her lungs.
