Candy Pangilinan’s Birthday Marked by Surgery
Instead of a festive celebration, actress and comedian Candy Pangilinan spent her 53rd birthday confined in a hospital, undergoing surgery. In her recent YouTube vlog, she revealed that she had laparoscopic surgery to remove her gallbladder along with gallstones. Candy explained that the pain she felt in various parts of her body became unbearable.
“Bakit po ako nagpa-ano? Kasi sumasakit na po ‘yung sa right ko, sa may rib part and medyo matagal na siyang masakit. Hanggang likod na kasi ‘yung masakit,” she shared while resting in her hospital bed.
Scheduling Surgery on Her Birthday
She mentioned that the operation was not planned to coincide with her birthday but was scheduled due to the doctor’s availability. “It just so happened that my doctor was only available on May 7 and 8, so I had to celebrate my birthday here,” Candy said in the video.
She also pointed out the cause of her condition. “So san daw nakukuha ‘to? Sa fatty food. ‘Yung ma-oil, preservatives, ‘yung mga masasarap. Basta fatty food.”
Birthday Celebration Despite Hospital Stay
Even with an IV drip and hospital gown, Candy’s birthday celebration continued. The hospital staff surprised her with a mini celebration, and her son Quentin joined to greet her. A close friend also visited to share the special day.
She joked about the unique experience, saying, “In fair ha, parang nakaka-relax mag-birthday sa ospital at tsaka ang haba ng tulog ko. Parang na-destress ako kasi ang iniisip mo lang, sarili mo eh.”
Health Reminder to Followers
Before closing, Candy advised her followers to prioritize their health by scheduling yearly executive check-ups to ensure peace of mind and avoid health worries. She clarified, “Pero ayokong gawing tradisyon ha!”
