SCALNG NEW HEIGHTS
THE show must go on for veteran news anchor Mike Enriquez despite ongoing health battle.
Apart from having undergone quadruple bypass, he is now receiving dialysis treatment three times a week. Shouldn’t he be simply “I did that,” Mike retoed. “‘Diba matagal akong nawala? It’s no secret naman na siguro but I’m good.”
“May kasabihan sa English na 'listen to your body.’ Well, I do that, and feel I am extremely well.”
But what if he is wrong Mike countered, “Wala naman akong ginagawa na walang clearance ng doktor at hindi ako gagawa ng kahit na ano na hindi alam at walang pahintulot ng aking doktor."
In any case, Mike is hoping he would be able to do away with his dialysis treatment once and for all.
He said, “Kasi sa mga hindi nakakaalam, kapag dinada-dialysis ka parang binubugbog, nanlalata ka. Hindi lang iyon, para ka din lutang eh, ang dami kong ginagawa ‘diba? So, mahirap.”
Mike shared he is looking towards having a kidney transplant in the future.
“Pinag-aaralan ng mga doktor ko ‘yung possibility. Parang bago na raw lahat kapag makidney transplant ako at hindi na kailangang i-dialysis pa.”
All that said, Mike is more focused in leading Dobol B sa News TV to new frontiers.
“The good news is that GMA management decided we should now air Mondays to Sundays at 6 a.m. to 12 noon so, it is a big leap for us and we are more than excited to make our line-up of show more exciting for our audiences,” he said.
