  OPM icon Claire dela Fuente has passed away this morning after suffering from cardiac arrest, March 30, Tuesday.

  But in a later report, the singer’s son, Gigo de Guzman, has revealed that her mother was infected with COVID-19.

  “She was diagnosed last week along with myself but I am asymptomatic while she showed mild symptoms, which is why she was recommended to go to the hospital and to be monitored,” de Guzman said.

  “Everything seemed fine and she seemed OK until last night when her anxiety got the best of her. We were told that her heart gave in this morning and they tried to revive her but there was nothing they could do,” he added.

  Dela Fuente was known for her OPM hits namely “Sayang,” “Nakaw na Pag-Ibig,” and “Minsan, Minsan.” She was dubbed as the “Asia’s Sweet Voice,” and as “The Karen Carpenter of the Philippines.”
