Days before announcing her mother’s passing, Klarisse had reached out to her followers through her Instagram broadcast channel to ask for prayers for Esnobie.  

At the time, she did not disclose specific details about her mother’s condition, only sharing her fear and asking her followers to include her mom in their prayers. 

“Namamanhid ako. I’m so scared:( Pwede nyo po ba isama si Mama sa prayers nyo?” she wrote at the time. 

Klarisse and Esnobie’s close relationship was also evident during the singer’s stint on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition Season 1, particularly when Klarisse came out as bisexual on national television. 

During the season, Esnobie expressed her pride in her daughter and assured her of her unwavering support through a surprise voice message. 

“Hay Klang, anak. Kumusta ka diyan? Alam mo proud na proud ako sa iyo sa lakas ng loob mo. Biro mo on national TV, umamin ka. Basta ang lagi mong iisipin, full support ako sa iyo. Kung saan ka masaya anak, doon ako. Ipinagmamalaki kita sa buong mundo na anak kita, Klang. I love you anak, I miss you,” Esnobie said. 

The message moved Klarisse, who later expressed her happiness inside the confession room after hearing her mother’s words.  

“Sabi niya po na ipinagmamalaki kita at tanggap kita. Iba po ‘yung pakiramdam na magsabi rin siya kung gaano niya ako katanggap on national TV and talagang napakasuwerte ko, Kuya,” she said. 

Klarisse also reflected on how her parents’ acceptance helped her embrace her identity, emphasizing how much their support meant to her. 

“Never nila ipinaramdam sa akin na kakulangan ‘yung katayuan ko, Kuya, na isa siyang sakit. Habangbuhay ko ‘yon babaunin. Kaya ang nangyari ngayon is madali po. Kasi unang-una, natanggap na po ako ng dalawang tao na napakaimportante sa buhay ko–‘yung parents ko po,” Klarisse told Kuya, who also expressed his happiness for the singer.  

As of this writing, Klarisse has yet to disclose the cause of her mother’s death or details regarding her wake.
