“Mag iingat ka sa pag lalakbay Mama (Be safe on your journey, Mama),” Quinto said in an Instagram post about Sylvia, whom the singer affectionately calls Mama Bob.
“Hindi man kita maalalayan sa paglalakad ngayon patungo sa paraiso, masaya ako nandyan ang Panginoon para umalalay sayo,” she added.
(I may not be with you on your trip to paradise, but I am glad the Lord is there to guide you.)
“Hinding hindi ako mapapagod sa pagpapasamalat sayo Ma, dahil sa pagkakataong ibinigay mo sa akin para maging anak mo. Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita. MAHAL NA MAHAL KONG MAMA BOB.”
(I will never get tired of being grateful to you, for giving me the opportunity to be your child. Until we meet again, I love you so much Mama Bob.)
It was in September when Quinto first asked prayers for her ailing mom. At that time, the “Star Power” grand winner said that it was “the greatest challenge of her life.”
In July, Mama Bob underwent surgery which involved her heart’s pacemaker.
