Mother Lily Monteverde's family releases her wake details

The family of Lily Monteverde has released the details of her wake, which starts at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, August 5.

In a statement posted by Regal Entertainment, the Monteverde family is requesting for prayers for the late film producer, who died on Sunday.

The memorial service for Mother Lily, as she was known in the showbiz industry, will be held at 38 Valencia Events Place in Quezon City. She will be interred on Saturday, August 10, at The Heritage Park in Taguig City.

"Mother Lily was surrounded by her children and grandchildren in her final hours. She was blessed with the chance to say goodbye to her closest friends and associates who bid her farewell yesterday before she left for that trip back home to the Divine Father," the family said.

Mother Lily passed away just six days after the death of her husband, Remy. She was 84.

"The family is at peace now that their mother has not only found rest but has joined their father Remy in that place called eternity—as they were together i life as they will remain together where there is no space or time," the Monteverde family said.

Mother Lily left behind a remarkable legacy in Philippine cinema as the long-time matriarch of Regal Entertainment. She was the producer behind many blockbuster films, including the iconic "Mano Po" anthology.

Her family hopes that her memory will be cherished as a "true mother" to the artists and workers who got to know her during her career.

"Throughout her years she has not only been a mother to her children but also the 'Mother' to so many generations of Filipino filmmakers who have helped define what Philippine cinema is today," they said.

"Even to her final years, Mother Lily has served as one of the cornerstones of the movie industry, providing opportunities to filmmakers—both creative and technical—to carve their names in our popular history."
