On her Instagram Stories, Brosas also showed photos of them together taken in 2016 and in 2019 in Italy, where the rest of her family is based.

Prayers and condolences poured in the comments section from fans and fellow celebrities including Pokwang, Vina Morales, Darren Espanto, Arnel Pineda and Candy Pangilinan.

Brosas’ mom, who adopted and raised her, is the sister of the comedian’s biological mother. The comedian addressed her mom as “Mama” in her past interviews.

In an interview with broadcaster Karen Davila in October 2023, Brosas opened up about her relationship with her Mama and admitted that the last time they talked to each other was during the height of the pandemic. She said they had not been in touch due to a misunderstanding.

“‘Yung mama ko, ‘yung nagpalaki sa akin, sa kanya ako concerned kasi sa kanya malaki ‘yung utang na loob ko. Siya nagpaaral sa akin, siya nagpakain sa akin, siya lahat,” Brosas said.

(The one I’m concerned about is my mama, who raised me. I owe her a lot. She sent me to school, fed me—she provided me with everything.)
