The singer, actress, and model took to Instagram on Friday to share a heartfelt tribute to her mommy Lorna, who had been battling cancer for the past two years.
"It is a great honor that you were my mother. You bravely faced all the trials and sacrifices just to support our entire family," she wrote.
Her post included a touching video showing the two of them laughing and sharing tender moments while walking the streets of Japan, where her mother had been based.
"I love you so much, Inay, and I have no regrets about all the sacrifices I made just to see you happy. Until we meet again, my beloved mother," she furthered.

She ended her post with a reminder to her followers to treasure moments with their loved ones.
"While your loved ones are still with you, hold them close. Let them feel how much you love them, and never waste a single day without showing it. Because the time will come when hugs will only be memories, and the words left unsaid will weigh heavily on your heart.
"Don't wait until it's too late to love fully," she ended.
While Entrata did not specify the cause of her mother's death in her post, she previously revealed in an April media roundtable that her mother had been battling cancer. She also shared that her grandmother — who raised her from childhood when her mother left to work in Japan — requires lifelong dialysis for a chronic renal condition.
As a result, in recent years, Entrata had been traveling frequently between Cagayan de Oro, Japan, and her showbiz commitments in Manila and beyond.
