Despite this, the TV host believed that her family has even grown stronger and closer after the death of her Dad.

“First birthday celebration without dad.. and our family has grown stronger for it,” Gretchen wrote.

She then remarked that their eldest brother is now the “Padre de Pamilya,” and also thanked him for being a strong pillar for all of them as they all grieved for their father.

Gretchen, in a jest, also signed her statement for her brother as “your mortal enemy.”

“Happy birthday to our eldest @aarnjrvn. Thank you for showing leadership the past days, and for always being there for us!” the TV host said.

“Bagay na bagay maging kuya… at ngayon ikaw na ang padre de pamilya! Sakto lang sa age mo — Love, your mortal enemy,” Gretchen further wrote.

The former volleyball star of the Ateneo Blue Eagles then said that their family might celebrate a wedding soon as Chinese tradition calls for it.

“Now, we have a wedding to plan. As per Chinese tradition, @docpediathlete and @isabellechiang have to get married within 100 days or wait two years after my dad’s passing. 100 days it is!” Gretchen said.

Gretchen is a television host and former volleyball player in the Philippines. She played volleyball for the Ateneo Lady Eagles from 2008 to 2013. Her popularity rose when she became a co-host on Umagang Kay Ganda, TV Patrol, and The Score.

Recently, the TV host jokingly shared on social media that she used to spend many of her college breaks at the chapel. She then said that she goes there and sit “on the far end of the pew,” not only to pray but also to sleep. The TV presenter also said that no one else knows that she’s sleeping there. Gretchen then surmised that perhaps God would not mind if she sleeps there as she would always ask permission if she could rest at the chapel.

Her father’s stroke and cardiac arrest were caused by congestive heart failure due to a weak heart muscle.
