Susan Placer-Younghusband, the Filipina mother of James and Phil Younghusband of the Philippine Azkals, passed away Saturday night, GMA News reported.

Susan died of "massive heart-attack" at 10:30 p.m., Cathy Rivilla, manager of Phil and James, told GMA News.

The family of Susan is holding her wake at Funeraria Paz in Sucat, Paranaque.

Susan Younghusband was 49 years old. She is survived by her two celebrity footballer sons and daughter Keri who is now around the age of 9. Her husband, Philip, died of cancer 8 years ago.

She was a native of Malabon City.

In one of his interviews, Phil Younghusband had said his mother, who admitted that she knew nothing about football, was very supportive of him and his brother James in their career.

"My mom's very supportive. If she can't watch me live, she watches me on telly since my games in Chelsea are televised," Phil told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2007. "Even if I knew I had a bad game, she's always like, 'well played, well played,' to give me confidence."

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband are the new endorsers of Century Tuna. A couple of billboard ads of the rumored lovers revealing their sexy bodies have been making a fuss lately. Check out the billboard photo below:

The billboard can be found in EDSA as well as at the Meralco Avenue near Metrowalk.

Meanwhile, Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin was spotted in the historic game of Phil Younghusband's football team, the Azkals, versus Sri Lanka on July 3rd. She was seen cheering and screaming for the Azkals which apparently inspired her rumored footballer boyfriend since he was able to score 2 points for the team! Yay! Here's a pic of Angel at the Azkals' game:
