Gloria Romero's family labels social media claims about her alleged will as fake news
The family of veteran actress Gloria Romero has officially dismissed claims circulating on social media regarding a purported last will and testament of the late actress, labeling it as fake news.
According to One PH, Romero's family feels saddened by this disinformation. They requested that the public allow them the necessary space to grieve the loss of their loved one, stating that they will address the issue at the appropriate time.
The false post alleged that the Queen of Philippine Cinema possessed P717 million in the bank, claiming that she allocated P215 million for building a provincial high school in Bataan and P47.8 million each to three of her favorite non-profit organizations. It also stated that her only child, Maritess, would inherit P179.4 million and her mansion in Sta. Ana, Manila.
