Iya buntis pero nagpositibo sa COVID-19

Ni ROMMEL GONZALES

NAGPOSITIBO  sa COVID-19 ang “Chika Minute” host na si Iya Villania. Sa Instagram post, ibinahagi rin niya ang sitwasyon sa kanilang bahay.

Sa larawan, makikita ang tatlong anak nina Iya at Drew Arellano na sina Primo, Leon, at Alana, habang nakasilip sa glass door kung saan naka-isolate ng TV host upang hindi mahawa ang mga bata.

“Drew and I are still hanging onto that little chance that maybe the kids are spared,” sabi ni Iya sa caption.

Sinabi ni Iya na ang kanyang post ay para rin sa mga magulang na dumadaan sa katulad niyang sitwasyon na kailangang tiisin na hindi mayakap at mahagkan ang kanilang anak.

Naging mahirap umano ito sa kanya nang malaman niyang positibo siya sa virus.

“Primo gets it, Leon is okay too because he follows his kuya’s lead, but Alana?? Boy, it broke my heart to see her cry for me and not being able to console her even for a bit,” ani Iya.

Sinabi ni Iya na hindi nag-iisa ang mga mommy na nasa katulad niyang sitwasyon ngayon.

“My tip? Try not to cry!!!! Coz the tears will only cause nasal congestion and lengthen recovery!,” paliwanag niya.

“I know, I know… ang hirap! Man, I CRIED!!! But you have to get over it as soon as you can and get in that speed car towards recovery for your family,” dagdag niya.

“Kapit guys! There’s a whole bunch of us! We can do it!,” ayon pa kay Iya.

Nito lang nakaraang linggo nang ibalita ni Iya na buntis muli siya para sa ikaapat na anak nila ni Drew.

Napapanood din si Iya sa Eat Well. Live Well. Stay Well. ng Ajinomoto kasama si Chef Jose Sarasola tuwing Biyernaes bago ang Eat Bulaga! sa GMA.

‘iBilib’ host Chris Tiu recounted the “magical show” he witnessed, when he saw a turtle laying its eggs on a beach in Coron, Palawan.

iBilib host and former PBA star had an awesome time during the holidays, after flying with his whole family to an exclusive paradise resort in Coron, Palawan.

Chris uploaded a short video on Instagram, showing some highlights of their family vacation.

According to him, he wanted to remember the “best memories” of this trip with his wife Clarisse Ong and their children, Amanda Claire and Mari Diana.

He wrote in the caption,“Perhaps not the most appropriate time to post beach pics but just want to share and remember some of the happier memories created during the holidays with some people I love the most in one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines.”

In addition, Chris also witnessed firsthand a turtle laying its eggs on a beach, where he and his family are having dinner.

He even described it as a “magical show” saying, “Nature treated us to a magical show as we watched this female sea turtle crawl up the beach a few meters from where we were having dinner to make her nest and lay eggs before heading back to the sea.”

The Kapuso host continued, “It took this Hawksbill or Green (?) sea turtle about an hour to dig, lay eggs, cover her nest then gather all her remaining energy to make her way back to the water.”

“Turtles usually lay eggs at night and around 80-100 eggs should produce cute little hatchlings in around 2 months’ time. When they become sexually mature, they will somehow eventually return to their birth place to lay eggs. Amazing!” he added.

Chris and Amanda welcomed their first daughter, Amanda Claire in June 2016, while Mari Diana was born on February 25, 2018.
