Elianah Atienza, older sister of the late Emman Atienza, shared a touching tribute to her younger sister on Instagram early this morning, posting photos from their childhood and heartfelt reflections on their bond.

In her post, Elianah wrote, “I miss you, Emman, with everything that I am and will ever be.” She added a poetic note about seeing her sister in nature and the stars:

“I see you in the sunlight between the tree canopy and in the endless stars I know must be there, hidden by city lights.”

She also looked back on dreams they once shared as sisters:

“We were supposed to co-create a better world where our children could play together, and we could laugh knowing we fought and struggled to build this for them.”

She concluded her message with a personal note to her sister: “I hope this message reaches you wherever you are. Call me soon, okay?”

Kuya Kim Atienza responded to the post, writing: “I love you, Elianah, so much. Tight tight hug, daughter.”

This marks Elianah’s first public statement since the family announced Emman’s untimely passing last Friday. Over the weekend, other members of the Atienza family also shared heartfelt tributes online.

Kim posted a clip of Emman singing, captioned: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away,” and shared snippets of an interview with Toni Gonzaga where Emman explained the meaning behind her ear tattoo while reiterating the family’s message of kindness.

Their mother, Felicia Atienza, likewise posted a moving reminder to practice kindness, honoring her late daughter’s memory.

Known for her warmth, creativity, and gentle spirit, Emman Atienza touched the lives of those around her with her passion and kindness.

Our hearts go out to the Atienza family during this difficult time, and we join them in remembering a bright and loving soul who left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.
