Sharing the news on social media, Korina posted a carousel of photos of Rosa, including lovely shots of the late actress alongside Korina herself, as well as solo images capturing her enduring grace and beauty.
In her heartfelt caption, Korina reflected on the personal connection she shared with Rosa and the lessons she drew from her life.

She highlighted how Rosa’s life story served as an inspiration for women everywhere:
“And in her life story I found an inspiration every woman must have. Widowed early. Never remarried. Dedicated the rest of her life to public service.”
The journalist also shared Rosa’s characteristic humor and humility, noting how the humanitarian remained grounded despite her remarkable contributions:
“'Kahit hindi mayaman Korina pwedeng magmukhang mayaman, laluna kung nanlilimos ka ng tulong sa mayayaman,' she would laugh. Huge contribution to humanity this one was.”
Korina closed her tribute by expressing how deeply Rosa had touched her life personally:
“She became my Mom that day I married and till her last breath, she fought like the warrior I'd always known her to be. We lost yet another big one today. Goodbye for now Tita Rose.”

Korina Maria Sanchez-Roxas, better known as Korina Sanchez, is a Filipino television news anchor, magazine show host, newspaper columnist, broadcast journalist, and senior field correspondent. She became known as a feisty and a no-holds-barred journalist. Korina tied the knot with the influential Araneta scion and politician Mar Roxas on October 27, 2009 in Quezon City. The couple have twin children named Pepe and Pilar.
As previously reported by KAMI, Korina Sanchez responded to a netizen who commented about her past interviews with so-called “nepo families.” The follower praised her for featuring influential clans, saying her work has provided material that can now be used to scrutinize them. The veteran journalist addressed the remark by stressing that this was not her intention when she conducted the interviews. Over the years, Korina has sat down with well-known personalities from political dynasties and showbiz clans, giving the public a glimpse into their private lives and perspectives. These interviews, often remembered for their exclusivity and depth, have since resurfaced in online discussions where netizens attach new interpretations to them.
Earlier, veteran journalist and host Korina Sanchez and her camp called out Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto for his recent Facebook post slamming certain journalists for interviewing Sarah and Curlee Discaya before the 2025 Election. In the viral post, the mayor said that journalists and news personalities should have asked themselves first why those people were supposedly willing to pay millions just to be interviewed. He also shared screenshots from Korina and Julius Babao’s separate interviews with the Discayas. Korina’s camp then released a statement regarding the post.
