“Marami na ring komplikasyon tulad ng high blood, [diabetes], at pneumonia.”

“Ang pinaka masakit (ay) ang makita siyang nag-durusa sa mga huling oras na iyon. Napaka hirap.”

Before ending her post, Herlene remembered how her grandma promised that she’ll attend the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 pageant, where Herlene is a contestant.

“Nanay ko, nangako ka kay [Sir Wilbert Tolentino] (na) makakapunta kayo ni Tatay Oreng sa Binibining Pilipinas Coronation Night ko,” she wrote.

“Pilit kong [i-aahon] ang buhay ko para rin po sa kanila. Gusto ko rin makabawi at mabigyan at maranasan nila ang magandang buhay dahil sila ni Lolo, na kung tawagin [kong] Tatay Oreng ang nag-aruga sa akin ng [22] taon sa mundo,” she said.

Among those who sent their condolences to Herlene were Binibining Pilipinas International 2021 Hannah Arnold, Arny Ross, and Faith Da Silva.

Rest in peace, Nanay Bireng. — LA, GMA News
