Actress Katrina Halili has expressed her grief about the passing of her non-showbiz boyfriend, Jeremy Guiab, in an Instagram post.
Guiab had reportedly passed away on January 28, 2024 at 53, following a heart attack. He was taken by Halili to St. Luke’s Medical Center, Quezon City and was declared dead.
In the social media post, Halili lamented the loss of her lover through a photo of Guiab, showing his silhouette against a background with orange hues.
“Ang daya mo love sabi mo aalagaan mo kami ni katie bakit iniwan mo kami,” the post’s caption read.
Notably, the late former vice-mayor of Wao, Lanao Del Sur had taken up the role of raising Halili’s daughter, Katie. Katie is Halili’s child with Singer Kris Lawrence, who the actress had been co-parenting with even as they had broken up.
Halili’s post was filled with messages of support and condolence from fellow actors as well as fans.
Quezon City Councilor Don De Leon had announced Guiab’s passing on his Instagram account.
“My best friend, my brother, my confidant and partner. Jeremy G. Guiab succumbed to a fatal heart attack at around 5:00 PM today,” the councilor said in the post, which was accompanied with multiple photos of the late vice-mayor.
“Together with his family, we ask for prayers, for his soul’s eternal rest with our Lord. A precious life gone too soon,” the post further read.
In a separate post, De Leon said that Guiab’s family had decided to keep his remains in Arlington, Quezon City for his wake until February 1.
Halili currently stars in Black Rider.
