Actors Nonie and Shamaine Buencamino requested that their family be given privacy as they mourn the death of their daughter, Julia.
Julia, 15, was found dead by their household help at around 8 p.m. on Tuesday, according to PO3 Victorio Guerrero, the investigator assigned to the case.
In a statement released Wednesday morning, the celebrity couple said they are making the appeal for privacy also on behalf of those close to them, who wish to remember Julia and celebrate her life in peace and quiet.
They also extended their gratitude to everyone sending them love and support at this time.
“We thank you for your love, understanding, and prayers of support during this time of profound grief. Julia led a beautiful and blessed life, and she will be fondly remembered and terribly missed by her family and friends,” the family’s statement read.
Like her parents, Julia was an actress and was part of the ABS-CBN TV series “Oh My G!”
Below is the family’s complete statement:
