Herlene Budol, also known as “Hipon Girl,” expressed her grief over the death of her grandmother Nanay Bireng, who passed away due to kidney failure.
The comedian and Binibining Pilipinas candidate held the hand of her grandmother who was lying in a hospital bed, as seen on Budol’s Instagram page today, June 6.
“Ito ay isang post na mahirap para sa akin na isulat… Nawala na ang aking pinakamamahal na lola ngayon lang umaga [9 a.m.] 6-6-22 at mamimiss kita ng sobra,” she said.
