Doris Bigornia’s daughter gives update after broadcaster’s heart surgery

Doris Bigornia’s daughter Nikki took to social media to relay that her mom’s open heart surgery was successful.

Nikki shared her mom’s health update via Twitter on Tuesday, more than a week after the 55-year-old broadcast journalist suffered a heart attack. 

“Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagdasal at patuloy na nagdarasal para kay mommy. Natapos na po ang surgery niya nung isang araw at successful po ito,” wrote Nikki.

The younger Bigornia also expressed her gratitude and asked prayers for her mom’s full recovery. 

“Subalit, patuloy po kaming humihingi ng inyong mga dasal para sa tuluy-tuloy na recovery ni mommy.

Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagdasal at patuloy na nagdarasal para kay mommy. Natapos na po ang surgery niya nung isang araw at successful po ito. Subalit, patuloy po kaming humihingi ng inyong mga dasal para sa tuluy-tuloy na recovery ni mommy

“Naiparating ko na rin po ang inyong mga mensahe at pagmamahal, at siya po ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat,” said Nikki. 

Ako rin po at ang aming pamilya ay nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat. Dahil nabigyan niyo po kami ng lakas at pag-asa

Mahal na mahal namin kayo

It was last February 22 when Alvin Elchico, Doris’ co-anchor on the DZMM Teleradyo program SRO, revealed that the “Mutya ng Masa” suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital to undergo an open-heart surgery.

Fellow journalists such as Karen Davila, Korina Sanchez, and Jeff Canoy asked prayers and offered their support for Doris.
