She was 85 and would have turned 86 on Aug. 19.
However, the show must go on. A bittersweet moment as Roselle Monteverde even graced the premiere of "Love Child" on Aug. 5, the first day of the wake for Mother Lily. Which just goes to show how much Regal values the cinema audiences.
"This (film) is a love message to all parents out there, especially to the Monteverde family, so their voices and stories will be heard by many people," said actress Jane Oineza, who plays the challenging role of a young mom whose four-year-old son, Kali, suffers from autism in "Love Child." "I'm really thankful to Regal for producing 'Love Child,"" asserted RK Bagatsing. "This is not just for awesome moms, but for parents to be seen, heard and reach more people. We want to highlight their unconditional love and sacrifices, their strength in the middle of adversities, everything that they are fighting for." RK's parents were present during the premiere of "Love Child" and he also dedicated the film to them.
