MANILA, Philippines -- Actor Rudy ?Daboy? Fernandez, who is suffering from ampullary cancer, refused to be taken to the hospital during a really bad seizure Wednesday night, according to Lolit Solis, manager of Fernandez?s wife, Lorna Tolentino.
?Lorna had wanted to call for an ambulance, but Rudy said no. He wanted to stay home and wait,? Solis told the Philippine Daily Inquirer Friday. ?I think he already accepted his fate and wanted his family to do the same.?
?Rudy has difficulty recognizing people now. He has turned glassy-eyed,? Senator Ramon ?Bong? Revilla Jr., one of Rudy?s closest friends, said Friday.
Solis said Rudy is unable to speak out loud and just murmurs instructions to Lorna. The actor is now in constant pain and winces at the lightest touch, she added. Marinel R. Cruz
