Comedian Lassy in grief after father’s death
Far from his usual bubbly self, an emotional Lassy bid farewell to his father who recently died, vowing to keep their family together despite his absence.
On Wednesday, May 15, Lassy was just urgently asking for prayers for the healing of his father, although the comedian did not immediately disclose what condition he was suffering from.
“Tulungan niyo po ako magdasal para sa tatay ko po. Kailangan ko po ngayon,” he pleaded.
Lassy, in a succeeding post on his Facebook page on Thursday, May 16, then showed himself hugging his father during the latter’s last moments.

“Hinding-hindi kita malilimutan kahit kailan. Tatandaan ko ang mga huling habilin mo bago ka pumanaw, at ako na rin ang bahala sa pamilya natin lalo na kay mama,” he further promised. “Kaya wag kang mag alala, at gabayan mo lang kami lagi. Hanggang sa muli, Dada ko.”
Further details on his dad’s death have yet to be made public as of this writing.
Aside from his comedy gigs, Lassy is currently one of the hosts of the ABS-CBN noontime show “It’s Showtime.” He is also best known for starring in the Vice Ganda-led films “Partners in Crime,” “The Mall, the Merrier!” and “Gandarrapiddo! The Revenger Squad,” among others.
