She consulted with Dr. Liza Garcia, her pulmonologist at The Medical City Ortigas, who ordered some tests that later showed that she had fluid in her lungs.
In a Philippine Daily Inquirer report in 2012, Albert stated that he would make sure she lived “as normal a life as possible.”[3] On March 14, 2015, Martinez peacefully died at 6:15 a.m. surrounded by her family, according to her mother Amalia Fuentes.
[4] Asked why she included Martinez among her first batch of members of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), its former chairman and Senator Grace Poe said: “She was a good mother and wife, had a firm grasp of what is right or wrong, with a strong connection and concern for the movie and TV industries, balanced by her compassion for the welfare of children.” With the MTRCB, Liezl took charge of the “Matalinong Panonood” sorties to various parts of the country.
Liezl was designated to oversee physical improvements in the MTRCB Building, a task she relished and was meticulous to the detail.
