As reported on PEP.ph, entertainment writer Mell Navarro also shared the news on Facebook, saying that as relayed to him by Ferrer’s son Mark Laxa, the actor died Saturday at home in Pasig City due to existing heart illness.
“During his last days, he was surrounded by the care of his San Antonio family, the love of his children, and the joy and songs of his grandchildren. He was a remarkable, selfless man who always thought of others first, impacting a lot of lives on and off screen. We shall all remember him with fondness,” said Mutya.
“Following his last wishes, there will be no public viewing of his remains. In lieu of flowers and cards, an online mass and memorial shall be announced to family, relatives and friends shortly,” she added.
