Raquel Pempengco, the mother of international pop sensation Charice, paid her respects to the remains of her estranged husband and mother of her two kids. Earlier today, she arrived at the Funeraria Miraculous Medal in Biñan, Laguna with Carl, her youngest son with Ricky Pempengco who died last night in a stabbing incident.
Charice is bound to arrive at 11 PM tonight from Jakarta, Indonesia where the David Foster and Friends world tour has currently staged a concert. The concert's next stop is Singapore and the singer recently tweeted she won't be able to perform in the said country because she needs to be with family in the Philippines.
Despite the heated statement Ricky's sister said on camera against Charice's family, everything seemed to be well when Raquel and Carl arrived at the wake. Although she refused to talk on camera, Raquel told the media she understands how emotional Ricky's siblings are with the loss of their youngest brother. She also sees what happened as an opportunity to patch things up with the family of her estranged husband.
Ricky Pempengco's loved ones are requesting the public to let them grieve in private. "Bigyan muna po natin sila ng privacy para at least makapag-usap po sila," said Grace Mendoza, Charice's aunt.
Raquel brought to the wake a white suit for Ricky. It was reportedly a special request of Charice. They wanted him to wear the suit he wore during his wedding with Raquel but it couldn't be found at the moment.
