Dear Fellow Filipinos,
Galing ke Ding C Velasco-
I got this message around 4:30 am this morning (l have cropped off the name). I am now posting this in view of the massive denial efforts from Malacaņang, from the Bilyonaryo Achoy, from the Baklita even from Security personnel.
First, if it were not serious - why bring him to the hospital at the ungodly hour of three am? Regular check ups are done during normal out patient hours (9 to 6 pm).
Second, if the Colectomy (it is a surgical procedure that entails cutting off a segment of the colon or big intestines) cannot wait - then there must be an obstruction that prevented bowel movement or cancerous nodules already obstruct normal passage of waste.
Third, a Colectomy is a usual procedure for folks with severe Colon Cancer.
And my take on this is the severity of denial by his handlers is directly proportional to the severity of his medical predicament. They musn't make it such a big open secret.
