Veteran Journalist Mylah de Leon passed away at age 81 on May 1, 2026 after a long lingering illness. Tita Mylah was Vice President of the Filipino American Press Club of California from 2012 to 2014. She had a weekly column at Asian Journal. Her work blends autobiographical style, covering topics from political commentary to poignant personal essays.”

She was a staunch supporter of the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra (FASO), Philippines Press Photographers (PPP), Filipino American Press Club of California (FAPCCA), among others, and a founding member of Pens and Lens. She had interviewed presidents, dignitaries, captains of industries, athletes and celebrities.

But her greatest gifts were her faith in God and her capacity to love. She was devoted to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph and Santo Niño. People who knew her described her as an extraordinary woman of strength and grace. She was compassionate, generous and kind.

Mylah is survived by her children, Milkah and Robert Barr, Christmas and Almond Abellanosa, Drizzle and Steve Gibson, and Noelle De Leon; her grandchildren, Mikey and Theo, Katharine and Jake, CJ, Eze, Eliana, Ben and Amira, Kynan, Hayden, EV and T, Angel, Josh and Amanda, Ashley and Ryan; and her great grandchild Sophia.

A Funeral Mass was held at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills at 10:30 a.m. on May 23.
