Camille Prats on the death of her husband: "I don't understand why I had to lose him at this very early age."

"The entire year na nagpapagamot siya, he has gone through so much pain. Hirap na hirap na hirap na hirap na talaga siya na minsan, hindi ko alam kung ipagdadasal ko ba na pahabain pa yung buhay niya pero ganito, or kung kunin na lang siya para hindi siya mahirapan. So, hindi ko na alam kung alin dun yung hihilingin ko. But more than that, I was really praying for a miracle that he will get better," says Camille Prats about the ordeal she went through when her husband Anthony Linsangan was diagnosed with cancer.

"Kasi nga bata pa siya."

DRAWING STRENGTH. Ikinuwento rin ni Camille ang mga pinagdaanan nila nang matuklasan nilang may cancer si Anthony.

"Mga around June, kasi we got married March of last year, so mga June, medyo masakit na yung jaw niya sa left [side].

"Tapos nagkaroon na siya ng parang lymph node or nagkaroon na ng bukol so we had that checked.

"Siguro until mga... from June, we started doing check-ups around June until September.

"So we resorted to treatment right away, we did chemo and radiation.

"Yung chemo kasi, hindi ganun kahirap katulad ng... radiation was, grabe yung side effect.

"Nasunog yung leeg niya, he couldn't swallow, he couldn't eat.

"He came to a point na halos ayaw na niyang ituloy.

"So... pero hindi, he did! Tinapos niya yung treatment na yun.

"And siguro... hindi ko alam kung para sa akin mas maganda na yung hindi siya nagbilin.

"Kasi siguro mas gusto kong marinig sa kanya na he will really fight until the very end.

"So, hindi ko alam kung mas maganda na hindi niya ako sinabihan kasi ayoko ding... or maybe, I just don't want to have that in me na parang I have to...

"Siguro ayaw din niya akong mag-isip na, di ba?

"If something happens to him, ayaw niya akong mag-isip pa ng kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin, or kung ano yung gusto niyang gawin ko pa.

    Condolences Camille......may the soul of Anthony rest in eternal peace. God bless his soul! my two cents regarding those non-believers and atheists, for us Christians it's best to wear our blessings well rather than to judge or criticize those who don't believe in God. The very reason why we get called 'hypocrites' just like the pharisees back in Jesus' time, was because we are quick to judge others who don't believe. We 'Christians' are just very assuming people in general. Let's stop being so judgmental and focus on the Word of God. Be like Christ in actions, words and in deed. No matter how much we get persecuted and mocked by others because of our beliefs. We are not answerable to them at all! Let's live by example just like Jesus Christ. Pray for those who don't believe. Peace be with you all.

    alam mo there is no problem in reacting to what other people say. the issue is HOW you react. that's it.

    haha!! ya, let's respect the grieving family by saying "there's no God" when the grieving families are wishing Anthony is now in the hands of the Lord.kahit na it's her belief, meron talagang mag rereact sa sinabi nya. ikaw na rin mismo nagsabi kung yun ang feel nya, let her be.. so kung feel din ng ibang tao mag react, then let it be din.

    nagulo na eh. let others be what they want to be kasi. now if rona believes there is no god, then let her. kanya2 kasing paniniwala yan. you may get affected after reading her post, but that doesn't mean you should get on tirade mode. it's her belief and apparently there's nothing you can do about it coz she's staunch in what she believes in. the same way that you are firm in your belief as christians.. so, please resume the tranquility. let's respect the grieving family.

    John chap20 verse 29 Jesus said to Thomas, "Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed.Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Upon us, God pronounces a special blessedness, because we walk by faith and not by sight, nagkataong RONA walks by sight. di bale, wala naman syang fear kay God, wala namang problema dahil marami namang ilaw ng apoy sa pupuntahan nya, kelangan nya ng ilaw kasi she walks by sight nga eh, kaya la na tayo faki dun. pero let's wish pa rin na makasama natin si Rona with God in heaven kasi di na naiisip ng tao si Mother Earth ...LOL.. kapag naghihingalo na.... ooooo!!!! me ganon??? santa???

    Camille might be asking why she had to lose her husband at an early age, but not necessarily means that she's questioning God in a bad manner, because she still keeps on saying thanks for the prayers.

    as for rona, marami talagang ma rereact sa sinabi mo, remind ko lang sayo na nakatira ka po sa Kristiano at may halong Muslim na bansa, na magka iba man ang relihiyon merong dini diyos. at sa sinasabihan mo ng condolence na si Camille Prats, pag nabasa nya ang comment mo for her, and explaining her that God has nothing to do with it dahil walang God, eh baka lumaki ang mga mata ni Camille sa sinabi mo at kilabutan sya, dahil hanggang sa huling interview nya, wala syang sinabi kundi "marami pong salamat sa mga ganito..ganyan at higit sa lahat na napaka importante eh yung dasal nyo po" partida, matinding pagsubok na ang pinagdaanan nya, pero di sya bumitaw sa diyos, tapos sasabihin mo sa isang tao na malakas ang panalig sa diyos na there's no god?? ahahahahahaha!!!!!!

    back reading comments below made me say WOW!! parang naging share-ran na ng mga nangyari sa buhay buhay ng mga pepster ang article na ito, na kapag babasahin eh usually napapanood lang natin ito sa soaps, or movies or nababasa sa novels, pero ang mga ganung istorya eh nangyayari talaga sa totoong buhay. nakakatouch dahil naishe share at kung gaano ka painful ang pinag daanan, parang feeling ko kulelat ang kawalan ko sa mahal sa buhay dahil marami pa palang mas matindi ng kesa sa akin.

    I don't need to preach about Christianity here on PEP. There's a difference from being a mere Christian by name and being a true Christian and living it. You got it all wrong my dear. We said that to enlighten you and such a way you won't be blinded by things that surrounds you right now. It's not arrogance that people say they receive a cure from God. We spread the news so that others would believe. It's our mission to evangelize people who are lost like yourself. May God touch your heart and see the truth.
