Just minutes after Miriam’s passing was confirmed, Heart took to Instagram to express her grief over the death of her “supermom.”

“My mommy, my Tita, my Elizabeth Taylor, my lawyer, my mentor my everything… I don’t know what to say… I cannot say goodbye,” she wrote.

 

 

“I just can’t… You put so much happiness and positivity in my life that I just can’t imagine I can’t call you ever again… Tita, I remember you telling me it will be like you just travelled to see your son who you just imagine is studying abroad… I might have to think like that for now…I love you my super hero… I will miss you my cleopatra… I will be the luckiest girl in history to have you as my 2nd mom. I love you so much!!!! Until we meet again my mommy m.” She also shared how Miriam was her “number one protector” and her “hero.” “I love you so so much…I don’t know what to do,” Heart wrote.

 

 

In another post, Heart shared an anecdote of how she used to bond with Miriam, whom she said was “and will always be my guardian angel.”

 

 

Heart is currently in Vietnam as part of President Rodrigo Duterte’s entourage.

In previous interviews, the 31-year-old actress described Miriam as her second mom. In fact, it was Miriam who introduced Heart to husband Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero in 2012.

“Para ako talaga siyang mom,” Heart said in an interview with GMA’s Tunay na Buhay in Sep 2012. “When I started to become again as an artist… she started to get involved in my contracts. When I got older, she was worried with my life or who I end up with.”

“Different kami, we’re opposite. But we learn a lot from each other.”
