HOWIE SEVERINO IDI-DETALYE ANG KARANASAN BILANG COVID-19 SURVIVOR

BUKAS, April 18, may special documentary episode ang “I-Witness” titled “Patient 2828” na ididetalye ni award-winning broadcast journalist, Howie Severino, ang kanyang karanasan bilang isang COVID-19 survivor.

Ang  shots na ginamit ni Howie sa documentary ay kuha ng nurse na nag-alaga sa kanya habang naka-confine sa hospital.  Ang naturang nurse ay mahilig maglaro ng basketball at mahilig gumawa ng dokyu, kaya naman in-encourage niya ito na ituloy ang hilig niya at tinuruan niya kung paano gumawa ng dokyu.

 

Pumayag din si Howie na siya ang maging subject nito sa pagdokyu ng buhay-frontliner nito.  Bawal kasing gumamit ng ibang pasyente dahil sa isyu ng privacy.

Ang “Patient 2828” ni Howie ay mapapanood bukas ng  hapon, after ng “Tadhana” na hosted ni Marian Rivera sa GMA-7.

 

DINGDONG DANTES’ SON ZIGGY TURNS ONE, GIVES HIM HAIRCUT

“FOR his birthday, I gave him … a haircut! #SIXTOsFirst.”

Yes, April 16, ay first birthday ni Jose Sixto Dantes III or si Ziggy, ang first son nina Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera.  Ang pic ng first haircut sa Instagram, ay sinamahan ni Dingdong ng isang madamdaming caption:

“Dear Son, it is day 33 for us here on lockdown and day 365 for you on earth.  Normally, we would gather all our relatives and friends to celebrate this special day with you, just like how your mother and I had done it when we reached the same milestone.  Though as toddlers, we never really remembered anything – thanks to the pictures that reminded us how we are loved by the people around us.

But today, it’s just going to be us, Buddy – You, me, your mother, your Ate Z, Ate Cecile, Ate Glenda and Kuya Emerson.  But please know that there are many people like your cousins, grandparents, godparents and relatives who wish to see you and be with you today probably to give a gift, a cake, or a simple tight warm hug.  But not now… maybe when this is all over.  When? I really don’t know, son.”

Inamin ni Dingdong, na hindi niya alam kung ano ang mangyayari pa, may fear, pero sina Ziggy at Zia ang nagbibigay sa kanya ng courage para magsikap at bigyan sila ng sustainable place to live in.

“And so, in as much as it should be you who should receive gifts, please know that you are the gift for us  – a loving reminder that we should get our acts together and ensure that when the time comes, you can freely walk the streets, breathe all the air that you want, play ball with your friends even at close distance, ride a bike, and return the hug to all your well-wishers today. This picture will always be my reminder that in times of fear and uncertainty, I had found hope – through you.

“Happy first birthday, Sixto.

“Love, Dad.”
