Boy Abunda’s mother, Licerna “Lesing” Romerica Abunda, has passed away. She was 90 years old.
The news about her death was confirmed by Eastern Samar congresswoman Maria Fe Abunda on her Facebook post Monday.
She said her mother died on Sunday and a funeral mass will be held at Arlington Memorial Chapel in Quezon City.
Mrs. Abunda was a teacher and a councilor of Borongan; Eastern Samar.
The TV host went emotional during an interview with Toni Gonzaga when the mother became the subject of their discussion.
He even covered his face while he was crying.
“I’m just very sensitive now because of what I’m going through. Kahit makalimutan na lahat ang aking trabaho, for as long as people remember that I encouraged them to make their parents, to make their mothers proud, I’m okay,” he explained.
Nanay Lesing was also the inspiration behind Boy Abunda’s foundation ‘Make Your Nanay Proud’.
