Gloria Romero's family dismisses viral post about her supposed last will and testament as fake news

Published Jan 30, 2025 9:45 am

The family of Gloria Romero said that the post about her supposed last will and testament that's circulating on social media is fake news.

According to a report by News5, the veteran actress' family said the post is misleading, has no basis, and does not have proof.

They asked the public to give them the space to mourn Romero's passing.

The post claimed that Romero had at least P717 million in the bank and a P19 million mansion. According to it, she wanted 40% of her assets to go to the construction of a high school in Pangasinan. Meanwhile, 30% is supposedly for three unnamed charity institutions. Romero's daughter Maritess Gutierrez and grandson Christopher will supposedly get 15% each, according to the unfounded post.

Gutierrez confirmed Romero's passing on Jan. 25. She was 91 years old.

Her wake was held at Arlington Memorial Chapel in Quezon City.

Romero became known for her acting talent that shone on television and film, for which she earned various nods and recognitions from FAMAS, Gawad Urian, among others.

Some of her notable roles in films are Madame X (1952), Dalagang Ilocana (1954), Nagbabagang Luha (1988), Tanging Yaman (2000), and Bahay na Lola (2001). She also appeared in TV series like Palibhasa Lalake. Her most recent works include Kambal Karibal and Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko.  

In February 2024, a star-studded tribute was held for Romero to celebrate her contributions to local showbiz.

She was also named as one of the Lifetime Achievement Honorees by the Film Development Council of the Philippines in April of the same year.
