6 Philippine Showbiz Today February 8 - 21, 2019 Jan. 22-Feb.7, 2015 Former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres diagnosed with skin cancer Dayanara Torres, 44, reveals that she has skin cancer. The former Miss Universe titleholder took to her social media accounts to announce the sad news that she has been diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer. It is said to be the “most dangerous form of skin cancer,” according to the Skin Cancer Foundation in the U.S. Melanoma “often resemble moles; some develop from moles” and caused “mainly by intense, occasional UV exposure” that lead to sunburn. Dayanara shared that after scheduling a long-overdue appointment with a doctor, they learned of her diagnosis.  “Now we are waiting to see which treatment I will be receiving but they have already removed a big area from the back of my knee & also they have removed 2 lymph nodes at the top of my leg where it had already spread. Hoping it has not spread to any more areas or organs,” she said. At the end of her post, Dayanara said she is sharing her condition to create awareness on the importance of having medical check-ups and taking care of our health. Dayanara addressed her followers in Spanish, but she translated her announcement in English on her caption. The post read: “Soy #Guerrera [I’m a warrior]. “As mothers we are always taking care of everyone around us... our kids, family, friends & often we forget to take care of ourselves. “Hoping it has not spread to any more areas or organs. “I have put everything in God’s hands & I know he has all control... My sons although a bit scared know about my faith and know they have a warrior of a mommy! “But if I can help anyone along the way based on my experience, it would be to tell you... PLEASE, never forget to take care of yourself. “If you see something or feel something different in your Bong says showbiz remains his first love Despite his bid to return to politics, former action hero Bong Revilla maintained he won’t be turning his back on showbiz. “Showbiz is my first love. Bread and butter ko ang pelikula at telebisyon. Ito ang bumubuhay ng pamilya ko. Tuloy-tuloy ang paggawa ko ng pelikula, tuloy ang paglabas ko sa telebisyon,” he said. The former senator, speaking in from of members of the entertainment press yesterday, also addressed the motion filed by ombudsman prosecutors on his alleged civil liability despite the acquittal from plunder that he got from the Sandiganbayan in December. “Nagsalita na ang korte at napakalinaw na sinabi ng konte na wala akong natanggap na pera, wala silang napatunayan ni singko. Anong isosoli ko? Not guilty nga. Kung ako’y guilty, una dapat may ibabalik ako, pero dapat ikulong nila ako uli. Bakit ako nasa labas? Dahil wala akong kasalanan,” he maintained.  Revilla also said there is something “questionable” about the ombudsman’s statement that he needs to pay P124.5 million to the government. “Sino ba ‘yung gumawa nyan body have it checked... I had no idea skin cancer could spread anywhere else in your body. #Guerrera #iHaveFaith #Trust God “God doesn’t give the hardest battles to his tougher soldier, He creates the toughest soldiers through life’s hardest battles.” “Today is #WorldCancerDay #RaisingAwareness” Dayanara has two sons, Christian and Ryan. ● - M.

Sinabi nila ombudsman, actually may questionable dun na i-re-raise ng abogado ko. Abangan nyo na lang. Pero tayo po’y not guilty ang sintensya, so wala po tayong kasalanan,” he said.  “Pilit nilang binabalik para sirain ako sa mata ng ating mga mamamayan.  ‘Yun po ‘yung pilit nilang ginagawa,” he added. Revilla admitted he remains traumatized after being detained for more than four years and called on his opponents to quit the spreading of lies.  “Four years and six months, hindi biro. Kaya tama na, tama na, ‘yun lang masasabi ko sa patuloy na nanggigiba. Tama na po. Huwag na nating linlangin ang isip ng mamamayan. Lumabas na ang katotohanan. Tama na po. ‘Yun lang ang pakiusap ko,” he said. ● - Malaya advertising needs!
