Actress **Cristine Reyes** is currently going through a difficult time in her life after the **passing away of her beloved father**. Amidst her solid career and personal successes, the actress could not avoid being overwhelmed by the pain of losing someone she considered the pillar of her life.

In several photos and videos that appeared on social media and the entertainment press, Cristine can be seen **dressed in black, silent but with a trace of deep sadness in her eyes**, while hugging some of her family. According to someone close to the actress, Cristine’s father had been suffering from an illness for a long time, but **he still couldn’t prepare for his sudden passing**.

In an interview, **Cristine sincerely shared her efforts to provide a proper resting place for her father**, even in his last moments on earth.

> “I told myself, even though it’s late, I still want him to rest in a proper house… ‘Quiet, clean, and dignified,’” Cristine said while holding back tears.

Her father’s funeral was not open to the public — **Cristine preferred a private ceremony**, where only family and close friends were allowed to attend. According to her manager, the actress wanted to mourn in silence and respect, away from the limelight.

Although the funeral was private, Cristine’s showbiz colleagues did not lack in sending their condolences. Some of them were Anne Curtis, Arci Muñoz, and Jake Cuenca — all friends and close collaborators with her on projects.

> “You are strong, Cris. He is proud of you, wherever he is,” according to Anne Curtis’ message on her Instagram story.

It is no secret to the public that **Cristine grew up in an unusual family situation**, and she has been open to the challenges of her youth several times. But despite everything, **she did not give up on being a child**. And now, even for the last time, she made sure to **give respect and love to the person who first loved her**.

As the mourning continues, Cristine said that **the memory of her father will remain alive in her heart**. “He never left me. Now it is my turn to say goodbye. But in my heart, he is still with me… always.”

A quiet, but **very deep test** for a son known for his courage, but now shedding tears in the silence of the night. Farewell to a father, and a tribute to a son who never gave up on love.
