Although it was only recently announced that Comedy King Dolphy has been suffering from a condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for quite some time now, Karylle admitted that her mom Zsa Zsa Padilla has always been there to take care of him ever since he was diagnosed.
The
Showtime
host showed some reluctance in talking about her stepfather, but indulged the media during her press conference as
Metro Magazine’s
cover girl for their Big Beauty issue in July. “Just to make it clear
hindi ako nagbibigay ng
official statement.
Hindi rin ako
updated really and
siguro
I won’t comment
na lang
on Tito Dolphy now
kasi baka may mali akong masabi.
I also get my updates
sa
news,
ganyan
. But for my mom, of course it’s nothing new for her. This has been going on for several years and people don’t know about it
kasi
we were very, very silent about it. People don’t really know that.
Siyempre ilang taon na rin siyang may
COPD and
kailan lang talaga siya naging
public and even me I didn’t know what he was sick of for a long time.
Minsan alam ko lang na
he has pneumonia p
ero hindi ko alam
exactly
na
COPD.
Siguro dahil
it’s a medical term
na hindi ko maintindihan. Nabanggit pero hindi ko naintindihan. Ang naintindihan ko lang siyempre
pneumonia and
minsan may
carbon dioxide
na
levels
na masyado ng mataas
,” she said.
Karylle said that she tries her best to be a supportive daughter to Zsa Zsa and supportive sister to her siblings through these trying times. “Right now
siguro
it’s not the easiest of times but with the overwhelming outpour of love and support and prayers he has gotten so much better when I first got back and Tito Dolphy was in the ICU.
Napakalaki na nung pagbabago niya.
Of course my mom, she’s there and
andun na yung kama niya.
It’s hard for me to see my sisters also very sad and
siyempre
it’s hard for them.
Ako na minsan yung tagabili ng
food,
sasabihin ko sa kanila na kakain na, papatulugin ko sila tapos babalik na lang ako,
” she explained.
The 31-year-old actress-singer also said that there are no regrets that the weddings plans abroad for her mom and tito Dolphy never pushed through. “
Siguro hindi na rin nila masyadong finocus yung
attention
nila
on that because
siyempre
he was focusing on getting better. Everything happens for a reason.
Andito na tayo, hindi na puwedeng bumalik,
” she added.
