Gloria Romero cremated; family denounces fake will claims

The remains of veteran actress Gloria Romero, affectionately known as the 'Queen of Philippine Cinema,' were cremated on January 29 after her passing at age 91 on January 25.

Romero's family and close friends attended a necrological Mass in Arlington Memorial Chapel before proceeding to the crematorium.

False claims about Romero's supposed last will and testament, stating she had over P700 million for charitable causes, were addressed by her family as misleading and fake news.

The family urged the public to respect their grief and not believe these unfounded rumors, emphasizing that they are taking time to mourn.

Throughout her career spanning several decades, Romero starred in numerous films including 'Dalagang Ilocana,' 'Tanging Yaman,' and 'Magnifico,' earning critical acclaim.
