Even though the family of Jake Zyrus’ mom, Raquel Pempengco, is still grieving and in mourning, another member of their family died today. Raquel’s mother, Tess Pineda Relucio, died three days later, and her brother, Robert Pineda Relucio, died three days later at the age of 52.

Jake’s uncle perished in a car accident in Lopez, Quezon, according to the report. The Pempengco family has not shared any further information regarding the tragedy. Jake’s mother (previously Charice) posted the tragic news on her Facebook page, along with a need for financial assistance for her mother and brother’s funeral.

Raquel appealed to everyone in good spirits to assist her with their family’s requirements in order to arrange a decent funeral for the two departed family members. In another Facebook post, Raquel appealed with all the individuals she had previously assisted that she would be the one to call out for assistance since they really needed financial assistance now because she is the only one her family expects.

As we write this, Jake has yet to touch Raquel, so he is pleading with the singer-songwriter to assist them. Raquel claims that she cannot afford to spend money on the deaths of her loved ones at the same time. They claim that the COVID-19 epidemic has caused them to struggle in life.

Jake, as far as we know, is still in America and has had no more contact with his mother.
