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.
