Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury. It is observed that the bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. There is nothing ugly about death; however man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. Here is my list of the top female celebrity deaths in the Philippines.
1. Julie Pearl Apostol Postigo
Julie Pearl Apostol Postigo was born on May 21, 1968, better known by her stage name Julie Vega, a Filipina child actress, singer and commercial model. She remains very popular and well loved in the Philippines, years after her sudden death at the age of 16 that triggered a massive outpouring of nationwide grief that is still vividly remembered by Filipino showbiz fans today. She won two FAMAS Awards for Best Child Actress during her brief showbiz career.
2. Helena Gerard Belmonte
Helena Gerard Belmonte was an American-born Filipina model and socialite. She was best known for her magazine covers, most notably a MEGA cover with Kim Chiu. She was the daughter of Lorraine Belmonte, the editor-in-chief of Appetite Magazine and Vice President and Creative Director of the Mega Publishing Group. She shocked the Philippines when she committed suicide by jumping from a building.
3. Stella Strada
She was born on December 28, 1984. She quickly rose to fame when her second film, Kirot, opened in the box office. She wasn't quite a household name yet, but then again, the kind of films she made didn't exactly make for appropriate dinner conversation. When news of her death broke out, the nation was shocked. The young and attractive sexy star was found hanging lifeless in her bedroom, in a desperate attempt to escape despair. There were reports about abuse during childhood and untreated depression, magnified by her declining popularity.
4. Halina Perez
Halina Perez was born Vanessa Mae Ann Uri in Quezon City. She graduated from the Quezon National High School and enrolled at the Enverga University, before being transferred to Manila whereupon she embarked into show business. She appeared in erotic thrillers and comedies. Notable credits include Kiskisan (2003), Kasiping (along with Diana Zubiri) (2002), Balat Sibuyas (2002), Amorseko: Damong Ligaw (2001) and Ikapitong Gloria (2001).
5. Pepsi Paloma
Pepsi Paloma is one of the three softdrink beauties in the eighties. She took her own life because of problems with her live-in partner, and stress from the alleged rape case involving Joey de Leon, Ritchie D’Horsie and Vic Sotto. She was found hanging at her home in Sta. Mesa Heights with a white cotton sash. She was 17 years old at that time.
