Pinasalamatan ni Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago ang kanyang kapatid para sa kanyang matagumpay na kidney transplant kamakailan.
Taong 2018 nang ibahagi ng beauty queen ang kanyang pakikipaglaban sa chronic kidney disease (CKD).
“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. (I) Flew right away to be with my family and my potential live donors,” pagbabahagi niya noon.
“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.”
Pagpapakasal dahil lang sa anak, 'di bet ni Janella Salvador
