HINDI naiwasan ng comebacking actor na si John Lloyd Cruz na maging emotional sa kanyang special guesting last Sunday, June 6 sa isang program na may kinalaman sa mid-year sale ng isang kilalang shopping application which was hosted and produced by Willie Revillame. Ito’y ginanap sa Smart Araneta Coliseum and was beamed on GMA Network.

Si Willie ang naging daan ng TV and showbiz comeback ni John Lloyd na pansamantalang nag-leave of absence sa showbiz nung October 2017 para bigyang-laya at maging pribado ang relasyon at buhay nila ng kanyang ex-girlfriend na ngayon na si Ellen Adarna maging ng kanilang kaisa-isang anak na si Elias Modesto who is turning 3 this June 27.

Kung matatandaan pa, sina Willie at John Lloyd along with other friends including actor-director Edgar `Bobot’ Edgar Mortiz, box office director Cathy Garcia-Molina and former managing director ng Star Cinema na si Malou Santos ay nakitang magkakasama sa resort ng game show TV host-producer sa Puerto Galera in Mindoro. Sa okasyon na `yon ay nabuo ang ilang mahahalagang proyekto at kasama na rito ang special guest appearance ni John Lloyd sa recently concluded event sa Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday.

Tuloy na ang pagbabalik-TV ni John Lloyd sa pamamagitan ng isang weekly sitcom kung saan din makakasama si Willie which will be co-produced ng WBR Production ni Willie at ng GMA. Lumulutang ang pangalan ng Kapuso actress na si Andrea Torres (ex-girlfriend ng Kapuso actor na si Derek Ramsay) na makakasama umano sa sitcom nina John Lloyd at Willie. May lumulutang ding balita na matutuloy na rin umano ang balik-tambalan sa pelikula nina John Lloyd at ng kanyang perennial screen partner na si Bea Alonzo na nakatakdang idirek ng box office director na si Cathy Garcia-Molina. Ang nasabing proyekto ay maaaring maging co-production ng GMA Pictures at WBR Production ni Willie Revillame.

Pareho nang freelancer ngayon sina John Lloyd at Bea (two former prized talents ng ABS-CBN) kaya hindi posible ang pagkakaroon ng dalawa ng magkahiwalay o even magkasamang proyekto sa bakuran ng Kapuso network.

Si John Lloyd ay nasa pangangalaga na ngayon ng Crown Artist Management ng actress-entrepreneur na si Maja Salvador pero hindi ito nakita sa ginawang pakikipag-usap ni John Lloyd kay Willie at maging sa presidente ng GMA Pictures na si Annette Gozon-Valdes. Labas kaya ito sa kontrata ni John Lloyd sa artist management company ni Maja?

Samantala, overjoyed ngayon ang fans and supporters ni John Lloyd sa pagbabalik-showbiz ng actor na handa na ring umibig muli matapos mag-fail ang kanilang relasyon ni Ellen, now engaged to be married this year sa Kapuso actor na si Derek Ramsay na ex-boyfriend naman ng Kapuso actress na si Andrea Torres.

Annette nagbigay ng testimony tungkol sa naging sakit

IBINAHAGI ng presidente at consultant (to the chairman) ng GMA programming na si Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes sa kanyang Facebook account na siya’y nagka-heart stroke nung nakaraang May 25, 2021.

Narito ang personal testimony ni Annette:

“MY TESTIMONY

“I want to be living testimony to God’s sovereignty, power and love so I decided to share on Facebook what I experienced these past 2 weeks.

“I had a stroke last May 25 and by God’s grace, there was no impairment whatsoever. Due to this, I also found out I had a hole in my heart since birth and now it has been plugged.

“Last Tuesday (May 25), at around 1 p.m., there suddenly were zapping zigzag lights on my right eye and when I stood up, my vision started spinning so I sat down, closed my eyes for 1 or 2 minutes while praying to God ro remove the dizziness ang zigzag flashing lines. I opened my eyes and the dizziness was gone. The flashing lights became a blurry cloud. So I went on my way and did all the normal things I do for the day. My vision was completely restored after 4 hours.

“Before dinner, I told my family and (my husband) Shintaro (Valdes) about my weird experience. Shintaro immediately panicked and messaged some of his friends who told him that it may be something serious and that I should see a doctor asap. Just to appease him, I agreed to consult via video call wil Dr. Anna Sage Nolido who was recommended by Kim Atienza and Co Marc Castro. She told me that I should have some tests done to make sure – blood test, MRI and 2d echo.

“Since I was busy that week, I scheduled the MRI on Saturday (May 29, 4 days after my experience) expecting to rule out a stroke. After the MRI, the doctors found out that I indeed had a stroke on 3 different areas of my brain! They told me that I would have to be admitted. Given the size of the stroke, it was truly miraculous that I had no impairment whatsoever!

“The next day, I was admitted to the hospital (after a negative result of my RT-PCR test) for tests to be done to find the cause of the stroke so it can be prevented in the future.

“Numerous tests were done and the doctors were able to determine the cause – I had a congenital hole in my heart (PFO) which causes turbulence in the floodflow in my heart which would have caused the clots that reached my brain. They advised me that It should be closed in order to prevent subsequent strokes.

“I had the procedure done by Dr. Cheng and Dr. Leus, both pediatric surgeons last Thursday (June 3). It lasted for about 40 mins and it was a success!

“I am now home, just resting for a few days then I am better than new! No lifestyle or diet changes needed.

“GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE”– (ROMANS 8:28)

“I saw and felt God’s loving and miraculous hands in this experience,” pagbabahagi ng presidente ng GMA Pictures na si Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, wife ng (dating) actor na si Shintaro Valdes.
