ACTRESS Sue Ramirez is mourning the passing of her mother, Concepcion “Chit” Dodd, who died on August 17, 2026.
Sue confirmed the sad news through her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, where she shared a photo with her mother accompanied by the message, “I love you so, so much.”
Among those who expressed their condolences was Sue’s former boyfriend, Negros Occidental Third District Rep. Javi Benitez.
“This is how I will remember Mommy Chit, flowers in her arms, that radiant smile, beautiful and completely herself. Make no mistake, she was not soft. She had strong opinions and stronger principles, and she fought for the Filipino worker like it was personal,” Javi wrote in a Facebook post.
Benitez was referring to Chit’s previous work as vice president of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) and former national president of the Confederation of Labor and Allied Social Services.
The TUCP also paid tribute to Chit, expressing gratitude for her dedication to Filipino workers.
In January this year, Sue appealed for blood donors for her mother, who was undergoing open-heart surgery at the time. / TRC S
