“Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.”
The pageant industry is deeply saddened by the recent demise of John De La Vega.
His passing will be felt by many people.
May his heart and soul find peace and comfort. 🙏🏼
PS. John’s final days were ladened with abdominal pain and fever – Cholecystolithiases (inflammation of the Gallbladder wall) and Cholecystitis (Gallstones).

I LIKE HIM, HE GOT AN EYE FOR BEAUTY. DAMI NIYANG ALAGANG MATATANGKAD AND BEAUTY BUT SAD TO SAY KULANG LANG SA TRAINING. HE ALSO DISCOVERED JANINE TUGONON, PERO IBA ANG NAKINABANG
He shared a story of a Filipina Italian beauty na balak daw ahasin ng isang kampo buti nalang daw Di pumayag ang nanay dahil may word of honour sila.
Rest In Peace, JDV
Norman, so who will take over his Jewel of the World pageant?
My condolences to his family….
That we should know later on, I reckon
My Gosh!
Anong nangyari?
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy lang ang katapat ng sakit na yan as treatment? Bakit hindi naagapan?
May he rest in peace!
On the other note,
Confirmed na sa 27 March ang Miss Grandmama to be held in Bangkok and Phuket!
Which brings us to the next question?
Who will wear the Philippine sash?
And with Miss Supranational now at Miss World Philippines,
And if Miss Grand Philippines will be handpicked,
What pageant is left which is out for grab then at Binibini?
@ ClaiRe IbbeTson International, po.
Intercon pa. Ta’s, recall BPCI stated na sa kanila pa rin ang (The)Globe, that they do not recognize Rowee’s candidacy… (Let’s assume Kolcegi’s reign will still mesh with BBP’s 2021-22 timetable.)
‘Eto ‘yun’g sinasabi ko… So, pumatak na nga ng Spring 2021 ang Grand… If BBP proceeds with their usual schedule – give or take Palm Sunday, and doing away with the Holy Week break – whoever is crowned BBP-GI 2022 will effectively compete towards the end of her reign, assuming Angkol will keep his 2021 queen for no more than a year. So, tama/sakto lang.
But, back to the subject of this post…
JDV, I associate with Jeslyn Santos… And the FEISTY-NEVER-give-up Jerelleen Rodriguez! 🙂
@ClaiRe… baka nag Ascending cholangitis, sepsis?
Cholecystitis= inflammation of gallbladder.
Cholelithiasis= stones in the gallbladder that may cause inflammation.
Cholecystolithiasis= stones in the cystic duct of the gallbladder that causes hydrops.
Choledocholithiasis= stones in the common bile duct may cause ascending cholangitis… not
ammenable to Lap chole… needs CBD exploration
It is not only a case of presence of stone in the gallbladder. It is a case of an infected gallbladder due to the presence of stone which makes the surgery more difficult. There is the tendency that the infection could spread to the entire body which is fatal.
That is why when you have a stone in the gallbladder and you keep on experiencing recurrent right upper abdominal pain, it is better to have your gallbladder removed by laparoscopic surgery and not wait for your gallbladder to get infected.
Yes that illness is totally treatable. What happened?
We have no clear details on the complications
Rest in Peace! 😥😥😥😥😥
RIP
He died before he could see her girl win at Binibini
His girl
A loss to Philippine pageantry. Rest In Peace
