LAPU-LAPU CITY- The late actress-producer Donna Villa, wife of filmmaker Carlo J. Caparas, will be interred here at the Mactan Memorial Garden in Barangay Marigondon on Tuesday morning.

Villa's remains were brought to their house in Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City late Saturday.

Grieving relatives asked for time to mourn the producer and did not grant interviews.

Villa passed away last Tuesday at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital in Manila following a bout with cancer.

Though she started out as an actress, Villa was perhaps best known for producing Caparas-directed crime films such as "The Vizconde Massacre (God Help Us)," "The Annabelle Huggins Story – Ruben Ablaza Tragedy (Mea Culpa)," and "The Cecilia Masagca Story: Antipolo Massacre (Jesus Save Us!)," to name a few.

Collectively referred to as the "Golden Couple," Villa and Caparas were widely credited for ushering in the so-called "Massacre Era" of the local film industry back in the early 1990s.

Villa is survived by Caparas and their two children, CJ and Peach.
