Last Sunday, veteran journalist Doris Bigornia, popularly known as “Mutya ng Masa”, was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack. With this unfortunate event, even Celine Pialago, with whom she’s not on good terms, prayed for her recovery.
We can recall that Pialago called Bigornia a “Demonyong reporter” after the former aired incomplete information regarding the opening of Darrio Bridge’s U-turn. The two also had a feud where Pialogo almost took it to court.
However, with what happened to the Mutya ng Masa, Pialogo disregarded their misunderstandings and expressed her concern to Bigornia.
In Pialogo’s Facebook post, the MMDA Spokesperson admitted although they had their differences, she does not want anything bad to happen to Bigornia. Furthermore, because of the journalist being rushed to the ICU, Pialogo, among many who supports Bigornia, prays for her recovery.
Meanwhile, other Kapamilya employees and netizens extended their prayers to Bigornia’s family. Through Twitter, they have let the family know that ABS-CBN and its workers are there to support them in this trying time.
ABS-CBN reporter MJ Felipe urged everyone to join them in praying for the recovery of Mutya ng Masa. Felipe also encouraged the journalist that she can get through with it.
