Lily Yu Chu-Monteverde[1] (19 August 1938 – 4 August 2024), known as Mother Lily and professionally credited as Lily Yu Monteverde, was a Chinese Filipino film producer and businesswoman.
Monteverde was one of the first Filipina movie producers who produced many local blockbuster films under different genres in the 1970s and 1980s.[citation needed] She produced movies with Alma Moreno, Lorna Tolentino, Maricel Soriano, Snooky Serna and Dina Bonnevie starring as lead stars during that time. She also propelled Richard Gomez and Aga Muhlach's careers to greater heights in the early 1990s.
