Veteran journalist Twink Macaraig has passed away on Tuesday (January 14, 2020) due to breast cancer. Twink first battled cancer in the early 2000 and was in remission for a long time and then the disease came back 2016.
In an interview with Ms. Luchi Cruz-Valdez sometime 2017, Twink said she was surprised to be informed that her cancer was back after being cancer free for a long time.
“My first reaction was paano? Ginagawa ko naman lahat ng pinapagawa sa akin ng mga doktor, nagpapatingin naman ako regularly, nagpapacheckup ako. Everything na sinasabi nilang dapat gawin to remain cancer free,” said Twink.
“By definition pag kumalat na siya Stage 4 na siya.” added Twink.
Here is the interview:
Twink was TV5 news anchor and served as the Filipino bureau chief of Channel News Asia. She is survived by her husband architect Paulo Alcazaren and their son.
