"Her legacy is one of love, courage, and light. Though her physical presence is gone, the joy she shared and the space she helped create for so many will remain forever."
"She will be deeply missed, always loved, and eternally remembered."
Kamakailan, napabalita na nagkaroon ng serious health problem si Jiggly na nagresulta sa pagkaka-amputate ng ilang bahagi ng kaniyang kanang binti, dulot ng impeksyon.
"The family of Bianca Castro, known to many as the beloved drag performer Jiggly Caliente, is heartbroken to share that over the last month Bianca has experienced a serious health setback. Due to a severe infection, she was hospitalized and, as a result, has undergone the loss of most of her right leg," mababasa sa opisyal na pahayag na naka-post sa opisyal na Instagram account ni Jiggly.
"Because of these circumstances, Bianca will not be appearing in the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Philippines, nor will she be participating in any public engagements for the foreseeable future. Her recovery will be extensive."
"At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Bianca and her family as they navigate this difficult journey together. While Jiggly concentrates on healing, we invite her friends, fans, and community to uplift her with messages of hope and love on her social media channels."
"Bianca's family and drag house are deeply grateful for the continued outpouring of support, strength, and prayers," mababasa pa.
Hindi naman binanggit kung ano ang sinasabing karamdaman ni Jiggly na naging dahilan para magkaroon ng severe infection ang kanang binti, na naging dahilan para puwersahing ma-amputate ang marami sa mga bahagi nito.
Sa medical term, ang "amputate" ay nangangahulugang "removal of a limb or other body part by trauma, medical illness, or surgery."
Habang isinusulat ang artikulong ito, wala pang inilalabas ang pamilya ni Jiggly hinggil sa wake details.
