Freddy Aguilar’s Legal Wife Jov Albao, Also Known as Asa Dela Aguilar, Cries After Reading the Contents of Her Late Husband’s Last Will and Testament

After the death of singer-songwriter Freddy Aguilar, many netizens began to wonder who would inherit the wealth and properties he left behind.

Who are the true heirs? It’s no secret that in Freddy Aguilar’s more than four decades in the music industry, he did not only leave behind his talent, name, and legacy—but also an enormous fortune and numerous properties he acquired through his hit songs that deeply resonated with Filipinos. These songs earned him countless awards both locally and internationally, which enabled him to purchase lands in the provinces and run businesses in the city.

His wealth also included a collection of cars and continuous royalties from his timeless songs that are still cherished today. According to some reports, Freddy Aguilar’s net worth was estimated to be over 5 million US dollars, stemming from his successful music career, live performances, concert tours, and album sales. Everything he owned was designated to be distributed as stated in his Last Will and Testament.

It’s possible that his properties were assigned to his recognized children and his wife, one of whom is Juv Gandula Albao, legally married to Freddy Aguilar. This means that, by law, she has full rights to the inheritance as Freddy’s legitimate spouse. It was undeniable how much Freddy Aguilar loved his wife.

This is evident in Jov’s social media posts, where she shared joyful memories with Freddy and how well she fulfilled her role as the heart of their home. You can see how happy Freddy was in his life with Jov, and how deeply Jov loved Freddy Aguilar.

Jov Albao was always by Freddy Aguilar’s side through both happy and difficult times. Even during Freddy’s final moments, she never left him—caring for him to the best of her abilities. Their story proves that true love knows no age.

It’s no surprise then that Jov Albao holds a significant right to whatever wealth and property Freddy left behind. But for Jov, Freddy Aguilar left her something far more valuable than material things: his incomparable love, which she will never forget for the rest of her life.

Here are some clips of their happiest memories:

“Surprise! You gave me money. And flowers, too. Love you!”
“I just posted on TikTok that you gave me money. I’m so lucky to have a husband like you. Thank you, Lord, for bringing me to the right person.”
“You even brought me flowers. Love you. Thank you, baby.”

You can also see them laughing and teasing each other during their everyday moments—while cooking, eating, and simply enjoying time together. Freddy even cooked meals himself. They shared dishes like “pinakbet,” “miriel” with cabbage, and even had funny banter about overcooked vegetables and who’s better at frying chicken.

“You eat all the watermelon!”
“Your chicken is so good.”
“What are you cooking next, babe?”

In their casual kitchen vlogs, Jov explains how she balances Freddy’s meals despite her busy schedule with their restaurant. Because of his health restrictions, Freddy mostly ate fish, chicken, and vegetables. Jov and her parents took turns preparing his meals, ensuring they were healthy yet enjoyable.

Even when Freddy would joke about growing wings from eating too much chicken or scales from eating too much fish, Jov would make sure to prepare balanced meals like beef paired with carrot soup to help manage cholesterol and blood pressure.

“I’m not a doctor,” Jov said, “but I do my best to take care of his health. I learned most of this from Google because I want Freddy to enjoy his food and not just eat chicken and fish every day.”

In other clips, Freddy behaves like a child with delight, showing Jov every little thing he bought or taking her and the family out on spontaneous trips. One time, he brought them to Tagaytay. It was originally just his plan to go alone, but he decided to bring the entire family since it had been a while since they went out with the kids.

They left the house at 5 AM and had breakfast at a Petron stop on SLEX. Jov reflected on how fast the kids were growing and how important it was to enjoy every moment while they still depended on her.

They ended up at Maria’s Bukupay, missing their exit at Sta. Rosa and wandering through Talisay, Batangas. Before heading to Freddy’s cousin’s house, he insisted on stopping for coffee and had a long chat with someone they assumed to be “Nanay Maria.”

At his cousin’s house—Kuya Blackjack Aguilar, who was celebrating his birthday—Jov admired the peaceful surroundings, the beautiful house, and the numerous pets and plant collections. She joked that she almost took some of the plants home.

Freddy spent time talking with Jov’s brother, and they all enjoyed a calm day filled with warmth, laughter, and quiet joy.

“One day, when I grow old, I hope to live in a place like this—calm, peaceful, where I can wake up in the morning and feel relaxed.”

Their love story, filled with simple joys and deep affection, shows how Freddy and Jov lived with genuine connection and gratitude until the very end.
