Affectionately known as "Angga" or "Phil" to many, she is reunited with her parents, Alipio and Maxima; and siblings Reuben, Thomas, Nerissa, Stella, and Adolfo. She leaves an everlasting legacy of precious memories to her children Ricardo Jr. (Mary Agnes), Dina (Clinton), Karen; and grandchildren Gabrielle, Bryce, and Daniel.
