Tony Boy Cojuangco’s daughter, Patty Cojuangco, passes away at age 47. Dominic Cojuangco gives a heartfelt tribute to his sister.

Here are the details:
On April 19, 2025, a sudden and heartbreaking news shook the Cojuangco family and those close to Patty Cojuangco. At the age of 47, Patty passed away, leaving behind her family, friends, and loved ones in an unexpected period of mourning.

At a time that seemed peaceful, with no signs of anything wrong, came a day that marked the loss of a kind, loving, and quiet pillar of their home. Patty was born into a family well-known in business, politics, and Philippine society. She was the daughter of Tony Boy Cojuangco, one of the country’s wealthiest businessmen, and Denise Yabut Cojuangco, a well-known equestrian and Olympian.

Despite her background, Patty grew up humble. She wasn’t like others who were used to the spotlight or the pages of magazines. Instead, she chose a simple, quiet life, close to those she genuinely loved.

In 2008, Patty married Anthony Caralph in a private ceremony attended only by close friends and family. There was no media circus, no glitz or glamour—just a simple celebration of love, exactly the way Patty wanted things in her life.

Beyond being a wife and a mother, Patty also served as an inspiration to her siblings, including Dominic Cojuangco, Tony Boy’s son with longtime partner Gretchen Barretto. Though they were half-siblings, their relationship went far beyond what a simple label could describe.

In an Instagram post following Patty’s passing, Dominic shared the pain of losing his sister. He posted a collection of photos from their childhood up to the present, before her death. His caption read:
“How blessed am I to have been able to call you my sister in this lifetime. My heart is shattered. I love you forever.”

Those words carried deep sorrow—a sibling who lost a guide, a son who lost his sister, a friend left with a crack in the heart.

In times like this, we are reminded of the value of relationships that don’t need to be shouted to the world. They don’t have to be posted on social media or publicly flaunted—because true connections are measured in the depth of empathy, in silent presence, and in the strength of love when words are no longer enough.

From all of us at Showbiz Persona, we extend our deepest condolences to those left behind by Patty Cojuangco.
