Some netizens, mostly Gen Zs who just caught up with Yan’s impact in the industry when he was still alive, have been uploading and posting past video clips and photos of the late actor.</p><p>There are also videos of fans, visiting and having their photos taken at Yan’s tomb at the Manila Memorial Park.</p><p>Some fans, from the more senior generations, found this a bit odd, disturbing and felt a sense of disrespect, especially for those who used the actor’s resting place for content.</p><p>ABS-CBN News sought the reaction of Yan’s family and exchanged messages with the actor’s older brother Bobby Yan. He said the family will not issue any statement for now, but they have spoken to the caretaker of Yan’s tomb and he was told that &quot;it’s nothing to be concerned about, for now.&quot; He added that if things get bothersome to the neighboring mausoleums at the cemetery, then they will take action.</p><p>But for now, Bobby Yan said, “We welcome po anyone from anywhere. We have visitors from abroad visit Rico&#x27;s tomb and there are visitors weekly since 22 years ago.”</p><p>Being a youth ambassador, Yan’s heart was for the youth, that is why the family believes that he won’t turn the Gen Zs away.</p><p>Yan passed away in March 2002, at the age of 27, due to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/7/10/dedicated-fans-of-rico-yan-pay-tribute-at-his-tomb-22-years-after-his-passing-854" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dedicated fans of Rico Yan pay tribute at his tomb 22 years after his passing</a></div><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/3/29/claudine-barretto-remembers-rico-yan-on-22nd-death-anniversary-1055" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Claudine Barretto remembers Rico Yan on 22nd death anniversary</a></div><div><strong>From the archives:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5udT1LQNXaA?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qZyj4Y_mhqM?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div>
