Actress Ara Davao marked All Souls' Day by remembering her late father, actor Ricky Davao, her grandmother, singer Pilita Corrales, and her pet dog Rogue, according to GMA Network.
On Instagram, she posted photos of herself with the three and dedicated the post to loved ones who have passed but are still remembered. In her caption, she said time does not heal every wound and may simply teach people to live with the pain.
Ara wrote that she no longer cries as often, but said this does not mean she misses them less. "I know I will grieve forever because I will love them forever," she said. She added that she has also learned to make space for happiness again.
GMA Network reported that Pilita Corrales died in April 2025 at the age of 87. No cause of death was given. Ricky Davao died in May 2025 from complications related to cancer. He was 63, and fellow celebrities posted tributes on social media after his death.
