The legendary musician died at the age of 72. The news was confirmed by his former partner Josephine Quiepo, the mother of his children, including singer Maegan Aguilar, during an interview on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda."

According to Josephine, the OPM artist died due to multiple organ failure. He lost his life while at the Philippine Heart Center.

“Pumanaw na po ang OPM icon na si Freddie Aguilar sa edad na 72,” Tito Boy announced on his show. “Kinumpirma po ito sa amin ng kaniyang ex-partner at ina ni Maegan Aguilar na si Josephine. Ayon kay Josie, binawian ng buhay kagabi si Ka Freddie sa Philippine Heart Center dahil sa multiple organ failure.”

Freddie Aguilar was born on February 5, 1953, and began performing OPM music in 1973. Throughout his five decades in the industry, he became known for songs with themes centered on family, patriotism, and social issues. During the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte, he was appointed as the Presidential Adviser on Culture and the Arts and also served as a member of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

In related news, back in September 2023, Maegan Aguilar, daughter of Freddie, shared a joyful moment when she was reunited with her parents. In an emotional post, she recounted that it had been quite a while since they last had such a complete family scene.

Recently, Ara Mina has taken to social media to pay tribute to the late Freddie Aguilar.

According to her post, the actress received a lovely painting from the OPM legend, which came with a handwritten note. In the caption, the actress wrote a message honoring Ka Freddie.
