Remembering Ramon Bilbao
The Philippine Star
|April 09, 2025
We all loved and enjoyed being with Ramon Bilbao. Every time he would visit from Paris, schedules were re-arranged so that he could join our eating gang. It was never a dull moment as he shared loads of experiences and amusing stories that we would end up with stomach aches from laughing the hours away. Though he had some health issues, we thought his health would improve. However, it was not meant to be as he suddenly passed away in France.
To commemorate his life, Mass was officiated at the Colegio San Agustin in Makati by Fr. Julian Mazana, and lunch of Ramon's Manila gang followed in Lucille Carlos' home with a Spanish-themed menu.
