The sudden passing of 15-year-old actress Julia Louise Buencamino in her home on Tuesday night has left her friends, family and fans scrambling for answers.
“The family feels devastated because of what happened. They ask for prayers. There was no sign that she was depressed,” said her parents’ talent manager Ricky Gallardo.
Buencamino’s parents are Nonie and Shamaine Centenera, both seasoned actors for the stage, television and films.
Tributes dedicated to Buencamino began pouring into her social media accounts, mostly from fans of the ABS-CBN daytime series “O My G!,” in which she played a character.
What caught the eye of the netizens, however, were the artworks that Buencamino posted on her Instagram account.
Her works elicited a myriad of reactions from Twitter and Instagram users, including actress Kim Chiu.
