The family of veteran entertainment journalist and broadcaster Jobert Sucaldito has released an official statement confirming the circumstances surrounding his passing and expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support they have received.

In a message posted on behalf of the family, Carlo Brian Sucaldito, Jobert’s only son, confirmed that the broadcaster died after suffering cardiac arrest. According to doctors at the Philippine Heart Center, Jobert suddenly collapsed during the incident, causing him to hit his head, which resulted in visible bruising on his forehead and a cut on his lips.

The family also revealed that weeks before his death, Jobert had been rushed to Providence Hospital after his condition worsened. Although doctors recommended admission to the intensive care unit, he chose to return home instead, determined to continue living life on his own terms.

Carlo shared that his father’s final weeks became some of their most treasured moments together. They spent time traveling, visiting places he loved, sharing meals, and enjoying meaningful conversations. While they noticed his strength gradually fading, Jobert reportedly never complained and continued reassuring those around him that he was doing well.

The family expressed heartfelt appreciation to the friends and supporters who stood by them during his illness, including those who helped care for Jobert and those who continuously offered prayers, encouragement, and assistance.

Jobert’s wake is being held at Loyola Memorial Chapels & Crematorium – Commonwealth, where family, friends, colleagues, and admirers may pay their final respects until August 6, 2026.

For those wishing to extend financial assistance, the family requested that donations be sent only to Jobert Sucaldito’s official GCash account to ensure proper acknowledgment and to avoid confusion.

Closing the statement, Carlo thanked everyone for the love and compassion shown to his father and their family during this difficult time, ending with a heartfelt tribute: “Rest easy, Tatay. I love you, and I’ll miss you every single day.”
