“Even though you’re in the hospital and having trouble breathing, you’re still thinking about us. ‘Patrick, go to the ATM so you can go to Korea’ I’m sorry I refused.. I told you ‘just to add to the bill’ I know if you’re strong you’ll get angry with me and try to give it to me.. you’re so heartbroken, mama.. even if you have nothing left.. you’ll give it to us,” he wrote.

He added that he will never forget the lessons he learned from the well-loved choreographer, and expressed that he knew she fought with courage until the very end.

“Thank you for teaching me in life. It’s hard for you to see it like that, mama.. but I saw that you fought until your last breath.. You are strong, mama. I hope you heard my prayers for you even in your last breath… Because you want me to go even though it hurts, I will go. For God and for you mama. We love you so much, mama.. Family is greater than material things” Patrick shared.

Meanwhile, It’s Showtime host Amy Perez shared her condolences on social media, paying tribute to Anna’s life and legacy.
