MANILA, Philippines - Daughter of former President Fidel V. Ramos and wife of Lloyd Samartino Josephine "Jo" Ramos-Samartino passed away this morning at the Medical City in Ortigas, Pasig City after years of battle with lung cancer.
Jo Ramos , 54 , one of the four daughters of President Ramos with wife Amelita was known as a water skiing athlete and a musical artist mentored by the legendary piano professor Carmencita Guanzon-Arambulo. She used to be a back-up singer for Gary Valenciano's Powerplay Band and had performed in various concerts at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Jo Ramos is survived by her 17-year old son Gio (Sergio), with estranged husband actor Lloyd Samartino.
Jo Ramos' remains lie at La Funeraria Paz in Sucat, Parañaque City. Interment will be on Friday, July 1st.
Anumang oras ngayon, inaasahan na maglalabas ng official statement si former President Fidel V. Ramos tungkol sa pagpanaw kaninang madaling-araw, June 27, ng kanyang anak na si Jo Ramos.
Sumakabilang-buhay si Jo dahil sa lung cancer.
Ikinabigla ng mga kaibigan ni Jo ang malungkot na balita dahil wala silang kamalay-malay na may mabigat na karamdaman ang ex-presidential daughter na dating member ng Powerplay, ang banda na madalas kasali sa mga concert noon ni Gary Valenciano.
Bukod sa kanyang mga magulang at kapatid, naulila ni Jo ang nag-iisang anak nila ng aktor na si Lloyd Samartino.
Matagal nang hiwalay ang dalawa at ayon sa isang kaibigan ni Lloyd na nakausap nito, noong nakaraang Martes lamang niya nalaman ang sakit ng kanyang ex-wife.
Ibuburol ang labi ni Jo sa Funeraria Paz sa Manila Memorial Park, Sucat, Parañaque City.
