Our mother has been battling cancer with much courage for a year and a half.

Her current hospitalization was necessary because of her loss of
appetite, caused by fluid build-up in her stomach area.

We remain in complete trust in God's infinite healing power.

Our family wishes to thank the Filipino people for their prayers and
outpouring of love and concern for our mother.

She continues to be a woman of faith, a fighter, a source of
hope and inspiration for all of us, not just her family but our entire
nation as well.

Just like she has always taught us by her life's example, we entrust
everything to God.
