Ako ay may sarcoma stage 4.

Finally, he urged the public to educate themselves about their medical conditions and to follow reliable health advice.
“Aralin ang sakit at sundin ang tips namin.”
Beyond offering medical guidance, Dr. Willie also shared what continues to give him strength as he battles stage 4 sarcoma while supporting his wife through her own cancer journey.
He reflected on the many years he and his team dedicated to serving patients without charge.
“Ano nagpapalakas ng loob ko?
May 20 taon na kaming libre gumamot sa pasyente. Lahat ng makita naming pasyente ay libre na.”
He also recalled his decade of participating in free medical missions through ABS-CBN’s Salamat Dok.
“May 10 taon na libreng gamutan sa medical mission ng Abs Cbn Salamat Dok.”
Dr. Willie added that one of his greatest sources of encouragement has been the unwavering support of the people who continue to follow and pray for him.
“Ang pagmamahal ng followers ko ay nakakaantig ng puso ko.”
The physician concluded his message with a deeply personal reflection on life, faith, and purpose.
“Kung maikli na lang ang buhay ko ay masaya pa rin ako. Dahil alam kong nagawa ko ang misyon ko para sa Diyos at para sa inyo.
Nagmamahal,
Doc Willie Ong”
