Veteran Filipino entertainment journalist and radio broadcaster Jobert Sucaldito passed away at age 65 on Sunday, August 2.

His passing was announced through the “Oras ng Opinyon, Talakayan, at Diskusyon” (OOTD) Jobert and Chaps Channel Facebook page for Jobert and director Chaps Manansala’s YouTube show.

“Lubos po naming ipinapaalam na ang aming pinakamamahal na Nanay Jobert Sucaldito ay mapayapang pumanaw ngayong Agosto 2, 2026,” the announcement read.

“Maraming salamat sa inyong walang sawang pagmamahal, suporta, panalangin, at pagtangkilik sa kanya sa paglipas ng mga taon. Ang kanyang mga alaala, kabutihan, at mga naiwan niyang kwento ay mananatiling buhay sa aming mga puso.”

Following Jobert’s near month-long confinement at the Providence Hospital in Quezon City due to anxiety and sleep deprivation, Chaps asked fans in July for prayers.

As of writing, there has been no official announcement as to the cause of his death.
