Iwa Moto and Janna Dominguez comforted each other at the wake of Yzabel Ablan, the eldest child of mixed martial arts fighter Mickey Ablan.

Yzabel is Mickey’s daughter from a previous relationship. Prior to being with his current partner Dominguez, Mickey had been in a relationship with Moto who served as Yzabel’s “stepmom for a couple of years.” Moto also earlier said she considers Yzabel as her “firstborn daughter.”

On the last day of wake on Thursday, Oct. 12, Moto and Dominguez were seen hugging each other while standing beside Yzabel’s casket.

“God above all things,” the “Pepito Manaloto” actress said, showing photos with Moto via her Facebook page. “We love you, Yzabel Ablan.”

The night before, Dominguez was in tears as she bid farewell to her late stepdaughter and described her as a very kind and obedient child. The actress also extended her apologies to Yzabel and said that she regrets not being able to be with the latter during her final moments.

Yzabel died at the age of 20 due to sudden heart failure and lung infection last Oct. 7, the same day Dominguez gave birth to her son with Mickey.  /ra
