The passing of Noemi Tesorero, also known by her stage name “Mahal,” has left a huge void in the hearts of her fans and especially in the hearts of Mygz Molino – her closest companion. Although more than two years have passed, the memories of Mahal seem to still be intact in Mygz’s heart.

Many people have asked the question: Was Mygz Molino’s feelings for Mahal simply friendship or more? During their time together, Mygz always took care of and protected Mahal, made funny videos with her and spread joy to the audience. But after Mahal passed away, the image of a strong Mygz from the past is now only silence, loneliness and unforgettable memories.

Although he did not confirm anything, Mygz’s actions and grief were enough to prove that he truly loved Mahal more than just a companion. In a recent post, Mygz Molino shared memorable moments with Mahal with an emotional caption:
*”Even though you’re no longer here, you’re still the light in my life.

After Mahal’s passing, Mygz Molino has almost gone into hiding. He no longer appears on social media as often as before, and his art projects have gradually decreased. Those close to Mygz have noticed a clear change in him – an emptiness that nothing seems to be able to fill.

Although many people advise Mygz to open up and move on with his new life, it seems he’s not ready yet. Fans can’t help but feel heartbroken when they see a once cheerful and optimistic Mygz Molino now become more pensive and quiet than ever.

The bond between Mygz and Mahal was once a beautiful story in the hearts of fans. After Mahal’s passing, many viewers still follow Mygz, hoping I hope he can find joy in life again.

*”Mygz’s feelings for Mahal are so sincere, I believe he is truly heartbroken at losing his closest companion.”* – a viewer shared.

*”Mahal is definitely still watching over Mygz from above, hoping he can find happiness again.”*

Even though time has passed, Mygz Molino’s feelings for Mahal are still irreplaceable. Can he overcome this pain and find light in life again? Fans are still waiting for the answer.

Mahal’s sister Irene Tesorero breaks silence, thanks Mygz Molino for making late comedienne happy

MANILA—Irene Tesorero, sister of Mahal, has broken her silence on the passing of the comedienne, sharing her regret over their unresolved misunderstanding just over a week before she died.

Mahal died on August 31, aged 46, due to digestive complications and COVID-19.

Tesorero, who is based in Cleveland, Ohio, expressed her gratitude to those who condoled with her family’s loss, in a virtual interview with Boy Abunda released on Tuesday.

“Parang ang mundo, lumiit para sa kaniya. Nagsama-sama. Maraming salamat sa kanila,” she said of the outpouring of condolences and support through donations.

Tesorero painted a picture of her close relationship with Mahal, eldest of four siblings. She described the star as a doting sister, who would always check up on them despite their distance.

“She’s the eldest, but she’s the youngest of us. She’s so sweet, so caring. She’s texting every day, especially now that there’s someone online. ‘Have you eaten? How are you? Did you sleep?’ I can’t forget that,” she said.

It was Mahal who financially helped Tesorero to migrate to the US, Tesorero said. Their last conversation, she added, was a week before Mahal fell ill.

A separate account from vlogger Mygz Molino, Mahal’s last companion, indicated that she first experienced COVID-19 symptoms on August 25.

Mahal’s companion shares grief, details comedienne’s final moments
“This is the most painful of all,” Tesorero said. “‘The last time we talked, a week before he got sick, we had a fight. Because Dad had passed away. I told him, ‘You need to go home, grieve for Dad first. You need that, okay?’”

Their father passed away on August 5.

Mahal had been based in Batangas with Molino, while her family lives in Metro Manila.

“He was always crying. We had a fight a week before he got sick,” she said.

Tesorero said she regretted the argument with Mahal. “I wish I hadn’t said anything, I just let it go. Maybe the weight I was feeling, I wouldn’t have been like this. Because I loved that,” she said.

Tesorero, however, clarified that Molino, who had been with Mahal for two years, was not the reason behind the misunderstanding.

“It’s not Mygz,” she said. “All I want is for him to go home. Especially when Dad died, I wanted him to grieve with the family. He didn’t listen.”

According to Molino, in his separate vlog recounting Mahal’s final days, the comedienne had been in low spirits over the death of her father. He surmised that the emotional distress affected her immunity, leading to her falling ill.

In her interview, Tesorero was also asked to describe Molino’s relationship with Mahal. While her sister had told her that they were only friends, Tesorero said she was convinced they had a special relationship

“Mahal said to me, friend,” she said. “His definition of friend and boyfriend is different. Like that, they’re together at home, that’s his boyfriend.”

Describing how Molino would treat Mahal, Tesorero said:
“Friend, but special friend.”

Tesorero drew a contrast between Molino and Mahal’s past romances, which constantly became the subject of intrigue.

She said she never once approved of Mahal’s past boyfriends prior to Molino, “because I know they were fooling Mahal, just for publicity.”

“You know when you love your brother,” she emphasized.

Her disapproval resulted in friction between her and Mahal. Tesorero asked her sister to stay home with her family, but the comedienne insisted otherwise.

Recalling Mahal’s words during those arguments, Tesorero said: “You guys, have a family, have an child. I don’t have one. This is what makes me happy — boyfriend, friends. Leave me alone. I give you everything you want.”

Tesorero explained that due to living with dwarfism, Mahal had to be assisted physically to do her daily routine, a responsibility Tesorero felt could only be entrusted to their family.

“Because it’s a baby, you know. You have to give her everything — water, a toothbrush. We take care of her,” she said.

Molino, unlike Mahal’s past companions, proved he could give the comedienne the care she needed, Tesorero shared. “The care she takes is OK. Because Mahal’s other boyfriends don’t treat Mahal like that. Mygz really gave Mahal special treatment, so I’m OK with him,” she said.

Tesorero belied speculation that her family had ill feelings toward Molino.

“No. We’re all not. In fact, we are grateful to Mygz because in the last two days of Mahal, Mygz has been saying that. Mahal, he says he is okay. Mygz, he has been calling his aunt, telling her what Mahal is doing. I understand they did something,” she said.

The aunt Tesorero was referring to was their step-mother.

She then recalled the conversation she had with Molino through a phone call, on the day Mahal died.

“Sincerely, he apologized for doing everything he did. I said, ‘Mygz, at least you made my brother happy the last years of his life.’ He is happy, that’s all. That’s all, it was unexpected for Mahal,” she said.

Tesorero also belied that their family members had publicly disapproved of Molino and accused him of using Mahal as a vlogging partner for income.

“Anyone can pretend to be from Mahal’s family,” she said, referring to circulating images allegedly showing posts from the Tesoreros. “But none of us have siblings, or my parents, [who said that].”

Asked for her message to Molino, Tesorero expressed gratitude for making her sister happy.

“In the last two years of Mahal’s life, he was very happy. I hope you won’t be a stranger after this, because you are the only memories Mahal has of us. I bet you had the last day, the last week with you, you had many good memories,” she said.

Tesorero had a tearful answer when asked what she would like to tell Mahal. She circled back to their argument, saying she regrets they were not able to resolve it.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it. I just told you because I love you and I care about you. You know that, okay,” she said.

“You two, Papa, I always tease you. You really are, you like each other, you’re always together. That’s it, they really follow each other.”

Her prayer now, Tesorero said, is to be able to accept both the loss of her father and sister.

“I hope you will give me the peace of mind to accept that they are gone,” she said.
