Death in the family of young actress Janine Gutierrez has just tolled on her other kin.
After the successive passing of her grandmothers, Pilita Corrales and Nora Aunor, on both her dad and mom's side respectively, it's her uncle Ricky Davao's time to go.
Ricky, Frederick Charles Caballes Davao in real life, passed on May 1, 2025 due to complications related to cancer.
Ricky's former wife Jackie Lou Blanco is sister to Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, Janine's father.
In a social media post of Arabella Davao, one of Ricky and Jackie Lou's daughters, it is announced:
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Ricky Davao. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his children and loved ones, after bravely facing complications related to cancer.
"For more than four decades, he dedicated his life to the craft of acting and directing. His remarkable body of work and award-winning performances have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire. Most of all he was a loving father, brother, son, and friend.
"We are deeply grateful for your prayers, love, and kind messages during this difficult time. Details about his memorial service will be shared soon."
