Many people were concerned and asked questions recently after the public noticed that the so-called Diamond Star Maricel Soriano seemed to be having difficulty walking during some public appearances and events. Various speculations and ideas spread on social media — some said that she might have a serious illness, while others worried that it was a sign of a serious health problem.

Maricel Soriano did not keep her fans worried for long. In a short but honest statement, she clarified the real reason for her fatigue and difficulty walking. According to Maricel, she is suffering from the normal effects of aging, including joint pain and physical fatigue, which are exacerbated by her decades of taking on heavy roles in films and television.

“I do not have a serious illness. It is normal for my age and for what my body has been through at work,” said the veteran actress. She added that due to the stunts and heavy scenes she did in the past, particularly when she was young, she had some lingering injuries that are only now starting to show.

Maricel, known for her professionalism and lack of complaints on set, also admitted that she sometimes experiences knee and hip pain, especially when the weather is cold or when she has to walk a lot. However, she assured everyone that she is in good condition and is continuing her treatment and therapy to maintain her strength and vitality.

Maricel also did not forget to thank her loyal fans who have always supported and worried about her condition. “Thank you very much for your love and prayers. I will not let you down. As long as I can, I will continue to work to make you happy,” Maricel said emotionally.

Her courage and openness to her true state have further impressed the public. Despite the trials of time, Maricel Soriano remains a true legend in the industry — strong, true, and loved by everyone.

Ibinunyag ng veteran actress na si Maricel Soriano kung bakit hirap siyang maglakad noong kanyang 60th birthday celebration, na nag-viral kamakailan.

Matatandaang pinag-usapan online ang video kung saan makikitang hirap maglakad ang Diamond Star at marami ang nakaalalay sa kanya.

Sa isang episode sa kanyang YouTube channel, sinabi ni Maricel na may arthritis kasi ang spine niya hanggang sa leeg.

“‘Yung spine ko, may arthritis, hanggang leeg ko. Tapos, ‘yung first na-experience ko ito, in-injectionan ako sa likod,” saad ng veteran actress.

Hindi raw agad humupa ang sakit kaya tinurukan naman siya ng steroids sa kanyang gulugod.

“Kaya iika-ika akong maglakad… saka ‘yung paa ko, manhid. On top of it, may pinched nerve ako,” dagdag pa niya.

Ibinahagi rin niyang ang sakit niya ay hereditary o namamana pero gumagaling naman daw.

Pinayuhan din daw siyang magpaopera para mawala ang sakit pero naghahanap pa sila ng ibang paraan.

“Siyempre nakatikim na ako ng caesarian hindi ba? An operation is not a joke. That’s why parang ako, gusto ko rin, ma-introduce din ako du’n sa ibang anggulo para gumaling ako. Saka kaya ko ‘to,” paliwanag niya.
