In the aftermath of veteran actor Ricky Davao’s unexpected passing, one voice has emerged with quiet strength and profound emotion—his rumored girlfriend, who finally broke her silence with a heartfelt message that has stirred both admiration and curiosity across social media.

While her identity remains unofficial, industry insiders confirm that she had been a constant figure beside Ricky in his final years—off-camera, away from the public eye, but ever-present in his personal life. In an emotional statement shared with close friends and later released online, she declared:

“Choosing to stay with Ricky, even during the most difficult days, was the best decision I ever made. His kindness, brilliance, and quiet strength reminded me every day why I never left. Until the end, he made me feel seen, valued, and deeply loved.”

The tribute has triggered a wave of speculation, especially amid rumors that the late actor left behind a private will that included her in some capacity. Sources close to the Davao family have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such a will, but whispers of a potential “last letter” or “personal directive” addressed to her have only intensified the mystery.

Colleagues in the industry, including Janno Gibbs and Albert Martinez, have expressed their condolences, not only for the loss of a celebrated actor but also for the quiet heartbreak experienced by those who loved him outside the spotlight. One close friend remarked:

“She was there when no one was watching. Through hospital visits, through quiet birthdays, through bad days and good. That speaks volumes.”

As fans continue to mourn, many are now revisiting Ricky’s final public appearances, interviews, and social media posts—searching for any sign, any clue, about the woman who stood behind the man the nation adored. Was she the muse behind his most introspective work in recent years? Did she carry a deeper role in his personal renaissance?

Whatever the answers, one thing is clear: in her own words, “He gave me peace. In losing him, I lost a part of myself—but I gained a love I’ll carry forever.”

As preparations for Ricky Davao’s memorial continue, tributes from friends, family, and fans alike pour in. But hers, soft-spoken and raw, might be the one that reveals the most—and leaves the deepest mark.

Ricky Davao’s girlfriend Mayeth Malca is also mourning the passing of the veteran actor and director.

In her Facebook post, she shared a photo of the actor holding boxed flowers along with her message for her beloved.

Ricky’s girlfriend said, “To My Dearest Bubba, You were the bravest and strongest person I have ever known. From the very beginning up to your last breath, I saw how fiercely you fought.

The best decision I have ever made in my life was to be with you and never leave your side all throughout.” She said she still remembers how Ricky asked her if she was tired of taking care of him.

“And I always had just one answer for you, Bubba: ‘I will never get tired of taking care of you—because we are in this journey together.’ You would smile and say, ‘Thank you. I love you, baby.’ Those words alone gave me all the strength I needed to keep going,” he continued.

Although he did not believe in the idea of ​​unconditional love, everything changed because of Ricky.

“Bubba, I love you so much. Thank you—for your love, for your courage, for your trust, and for letting me walk with you through your most difficult days.

“I have to admit now… I lied when I told you I’d be okay. I lied when I said I’d be strong. Because the truth is, life doesn’t feel right without you,” Ricky’s wife said.

She admitted that there is an emptiness in the loss of the actor who has no one else to replace him. But I carry you with me, always. In my heart, in my memories, in every quiet moment. [emojis] I love you forever, my man, my Bubba Ricky,” she wrote to the late actor.

The actor and director’s daughter Ara Davao confirmed that her father had passed away after a long battle with cancer.

On her Facebook, she shared that Ricky passed away peacefully surrounded by their children and other loved ones.
