“Mahal kong Inay, Isang malaking karangalan na ikaw ang naging Inay ko. Matapang mong hinarap ang lahat ng pagsubok at sakripisyo para maitaguyod kaming buong pamilya,” she wrote.
In the Instagram Reel she uploaded, the Kapamilya star can be seen bonding with her late mother as they walked the streets of Japan. The two were enjoying the beautiful scenery and had matching outfits while singing Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Gladys Knight's “That's What Friends Are For“ in the eight-minute video.
She expressed how much she’ll be missing her mother who has taught her about selfless love for the family.
“Mamimiss kita Inay, mamimiss ko ang taong nagmahal at habang buhay mamahalin ako ng buo. Sa’yo ko natutunan ang mag mahal ng walang kapalit at habang buhay dala dala ko lahat ng natutunan ko mula sa’yo,” she said.

“Maraming salamat sa iniwan mong kayamanan Inay, Kayamanang hindi galing sa lupa pero kayamang galing sa pagmahahal ng walang katumbas. Mahal na mahal kita Inay ko at wala akong pinagsisihan sa lahat ng sakrpisyo kong makita ka lang maging masaya lagi. Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita mahal kong Inay,” she added.
Maymay then told her followers on social media to enjoy the time they have with their loved ones before it’s too late.
“Yakapin niyo sila, iparamdam niyo kung gaano niyo sila kamahal, at huwag n’yong sayangin ang kahit isang araw na hindi ipinapakita po yon. Sapagkat darating ang araw na ang mga yakap ay alaala na lang, at ang mga salitang hindi nasabi ay magiging bigat sa puso. Huwag kayong maghintay ng huli bago magsimulang magmahal nang buo,” she ended.
Friends and fans of the Kapamilya star expressed their condolences in the comment section of her post.
