“It seems like just yesterday we were going on our adventures together, chatting, lunching, and just enjoying each other’s company. “

“You owe me an Adulting 101, Tita. But it’s okay because I remember every single lesson you’ve taught me until today. Of course, because you were my ultimate mentor and source of guidance.⁣⁣

“I love you always my queen, and Happy Birthday.”

 

 

Santiago played a big role in Evangelista’s life. It was the former senator who introduced the actress to then fellow senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, who is now her husband.

In a 2012 interview, Evangelista said that she considers Santiago her second mom. “Different kami. (We’re different) we’re opposite, but we learn I think a lot from each other,” she said. — Rappler.com
