Former actor Royette Padilla, brother of actors Robin Padilla, Rommel Padilla, and BB Gandanghari, has passed away at the age of 58.
His sister Rebecca Padilla confirmed his death in a Facebook post on January 9.
“Please whisper a prayer for our brother Royette Padilla. A silent prayer for his eternal peace, please,” Rebecca said.
The cause of Royette’s death was not immediately known, but a report on Pep.ph said the former actor died of a heart attack.
The other siblings of the former actor have yet to post about his death.
Royette’s life is without controversy. He made headlines in the 1990s when he declared himself to be an officer of a group dubbed the H-World United Nations Philippine Military Government International Police Commission.
In 2014, he was detained in prison for allegedly firing his gun at his neighbor’s house in Clark Freeport Zone.
He appeared in films Di Na Natuto (1993), Mistah (1994), Buhay Kamao (2001), and Alab ng Lahi (2003).
