One of the celebs mourning the loss of the actor is Kathryn Bernardo, who closely worked with him on the TV series 2 Good 2 Be True in 2022.
Kathryn honored Ronaldo's memories via a series of IG Stories, featuring her random bonding moments with the actor.
In one clip, Ronaldo was singing "The Nearness Of You", while in another, he was being greeted by the chants of fans, "Lolo Sir!", his character on 2 Good 2 Be True.
Kathryn's other IG Stories were even more tear-jerking. She shared Ronaldo's IG posts of them together, like when he held her birthday cake and during the premiere night of Kathryn's movie A Very Good Girl, where he praised her acting.
"Job well done," Ronaldo exclaimed to Kathryn.
"Yeah, you liked it?" Kathryn responded.
In Kathryn's last IG Story, to the tune of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel", she shared Alyssa Muhlach's photo of the two of them with Ronaldo, with the caption "Lolo's Girls." Alyssa also appeared in 2 Good 2 Be True.
Why do we all feel that we lost a lolo? BRB, crying.
