Ini-reveal ni Carla Abellana na nagpa-freeze siya ng kanyang eggs. Ito ay prosesong ginagawa ng isang babae na gustong magkaroon ng anak through IVF (in vitro fertilization).
Sa Instagram (IG) account ng aktres nu’ng Linggo ay ibinahagi niya ang kanyang journey sa egg freezing sa pamamagitan ng isang video. Ikinuwento rin niya sa caption ang kanyang preparations para sa naturang proseso.
“A few years ago I had my first online consultation with Dr. Mendiola of KATO Clinic,” ang
simula ng caption ni Carla sa video.
“Life happened so I had to postpone the process for over a year and a half,” patuloy niya.
Laking-tuwa niya na nag-open na ng branch sa Quezon City ang clinic na pinagkokonsultahan niya kaya itinuloy na niya ang matagal nang planong pagpapa-freeze ng eggs.
Mapapanood sa video ang mga paunang steps na ginawa kay Carla at isa na nga rito ay ang pagkuha ng dugo sa kanya nang makailang beses. Makikita na kinukuhanan siya ng dugo sa parte ng kanyang tummy.
“I had lost count of how many daily injections I had to endure. If at first, you don’t succeed, try and try again!” she wrote.
Sa dulo ng video, sey ng aktres, “So another round of injection and tablet medication. And I (have to) go back in 3 or 4 days. So, yeah, let’s keep doing this.”
Sa caption ay binanggit ng aktres na ‘transformative experience’ raw for her ang journey niya sa egg freezing.
“My journey towards egg freezing has been a transformative experience — one that required a lot of research, emotional preparation, and support (hug emoji).
“From the moment I decided to take this step, I knew it was important to surround myself with the right team. Thank goodness for @conceiveivfmanila (under @krbc.ph) (heart emoji),” pahayag ni Carla.
Nasa mga unang hakbang pa lang si Carla at happy naman daw siya sa expertise and professionalism ng medical team, gayundin sa facilities ng clinic.
“The consultation was the first step, where Medical Director Dr. Ednalyn Ong-Jao explained the process and answered all my questions with much care and expertise.
“As I prepared, I was amazed by the professionalism and compassion of the entire team. The Nurses made every step easy and reassuring, while Doc Eds ensured that every detail was carefully handled (heart hand emoji).
“The facilities are top-notch, making me feel safe and well taken care of every step of the way (hospital emoji).
“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone involved—their kindness, support, and expertise made all the difference (white heart emoji),” sey ni Carla.
Pinusuan ng mga netizens and kapwa-celebrities ang post na ito ng aktres. Sa comment section ay makikita ang tatlong white heart emoji na reaksiyon ni Bea Alonzo.
Anak sa ex-Miss Pasay na ipinalit kay Kris…
BUNSO NI JOEY, PANLABAN NG ‘PINAS SA MISS TEEN GLOBAL 2025 SA BRAZIL
ISA na namang Marquez ang pumalaot sa mundo ng beauty pageant at ito ay ang isa pang anak na babae ni Joey Marquez na si Jomelle Joegy Marquez.
Si Joegy, as she’s fondly called by her friends, is the newly-crowned Miss Teen Global Philippines.
Naganap ang kanyang official crowning and sashing ceremony sa The B Hotel, Alabang last Thursday, March 27.
Only 15 years old, si Joegy ay bunsong anak ni Tsong Joey sa dating Miss Pasay na
nagtatrabaho noon sa bangko. Siya ang nakarelasyon ng aktor-pulitiko after Kris Aquino.
Hindi naman kataka-takang pumasok din sa pageant world si Joegy since beauty queen din pala ang kanyang ina plus of course, ang tita niyang si Melanie Marquez (Miss International 1979), ang pinsan niyang si Michelle Dee (Miss Universe Philippines 2023), at ang half-sister niyang si Winwyn Marquez (first Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas title sa Miss World Philippines 2017).
“Growing up, I liked princesses, fashion, and modeling,” sey ni Joegy.
Aniya, “On career days at school, I’d always choose to be a firefighter or ballerina simply because I love the outfits.”
Aminado rin siyang bata pa lang ay mahilig na siya sa tiara.
“I remember I’m begging my dad to buy me a tiara ‘coz my tiara before broke when I was a kid. He bought me a lot,” tsika ng dalagita.
When asked kung ano ang naging reaksiyon ng daddy niya sa pagsali niya sa beauty pageant, aniya ay nagulat daw ito.
“Growing up, I was the quiet, reserved type. But he’s definitely supportive. His only reminder is that I finish school. He’s always supportive with what I’m doing,” esplika niya.
Tungkol naman sa half-sister niyang si Winwyn na kasama naman ngayon sa Miss Universe Philippines 2025, ayon kay Joegy ay super proud siya sa kanyang ate at siyempre, wish niya ang tagumpay nito sa MUPH.
Close raw silang magkapatid at aniya, “She wants to teach me; it’s just she’s busy now.”
Ayon pa sa young beauty queen, hindi niya akalaing magugustuhan niya ang pagsali sa beauty pageant.
“I never realized I wanted to be a beauty queen until I started experiencing it. Growing up I always liked fashion and modeling,” deklara niya.
Joegy is the Philippines’ representative for Miss Teen Global 2025 na gaganapin sa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September.
Ayon sa anak ni Tsong, ito raw ang kanyang first international pageant competition.
Advocacy ni Jogey ay animal welfare at ipakikita niya sa mundo na ang mga Pinoy ay magaling makitungo lalo kapag iniharap ang sarili sa isang paligsahan.
