NATATAKPAN ng napakaraming mas malalaking balita at isyu ang post na ito ni Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago:“Yeah....... kinda have kidney failure.

“I was diagnosed months ago, I was in denial and that’s why I left the Philippines to get a second opinion in Tokyo and when it turned out to be a confirmation flew right away to be with my family and my potential live donors. Yes, I will be needing a life saving transplant. I live because of a machine, my dialysis machine and the doctors and nurses at Home Hemo Dialysis centre in Toronto General. I am blessed and I will continue to spread positivity to the world.

“I am in a good place now but my heart isn’t. Its not easy and will only get harder! “I am not asking for sympathy I am asking for awareness. At 16 I had IGA Nephropathy stage 1. I suffered from UTI’s when I was younger, food poisoning and a lot of stress. Apparently its genetics and popular in Asians, so please get checked

“I am healthy and I workout regularly but things like this happens. Does not mean I’m done. I’m unstoppable and will be healed! God loves me and he keeps showering me with love and blessings from friends and family! I am lucky and I am loved! Bad kidneys can kiss my @$$!#almostperfect #kidneyfailure #loveyourself #kissmyass.”Maraming mas malalaking balita, mula sa pagkakapanalo ni Catriona Gray sa Miss Universe hanggang sa usap-usapan ng lahat na bullying sa Ateneo de Manila Junior High School, kaya hindi masyadong lumutang ang health condition ni Bea Rose na marami ring na-inspire noong kanyang reign.

O baka sadyang ganito lang talaga ang ating lipunan ngayon, kapag lumipas na ang panahon o era mo, mag-isa ka na lang sa paglalakbay mo.Bagamat strong-willed si Bea Rose. Siya na rin mismo ang nagsabi, hindi siya humihingi ng simpatya.
