Candy Pangilinan recently revealed that she spent her 53rd birthday in the hospital following a laparoscopy procedure to remove her gallbladder and stones.

In the latest episode of her vlog, Pangilinan explained that the surgery became necessary due to persistent pain on the right side of her rib cage, which extended to her back and became difficult to endure.



My gallbladder and the stones have been removed. Why did I choose to do this? Because the right side of my rib has been hurting for a long time now. It reaches my back. It just so happened that my doctor was only available on May 7 and 8, so I had to celebrate my birthday here,” she shared.

Despite the unusual setting for a birthday celebration, the actress known for the show “Sunny” reassured her followers that she was feeling well and at ease.

I’m okay. Thank you so much for your prayers. To be fair, it’s relaxing to celebrate my birthday here in the hospital. I slept so well. I feel like I was distressed. I think it’s because you only think about yourself when you’re here. It’s okay here. But I don’t want to make this a tradition, okay?” she said.

Pangilinan also posted video clips capturing a sweet birthday surprise organized by hospital staff and her loved ones, including her son Quentin, who is on the autism spectrum. Actress Gelli de Belen also visited to share in the celebration.

Highlighting the importance of health awareness, Pangilinan advised people to consider having executive health check-ups annually to “give themselves a sense of peace of mind.”
