Wowie De Guzman mourns wife's death: 'Kailangan ko maging strong'

Chuck Smith - The Philippine Star
MANILA, Philippines – Sheryl Ann Reyes, the wife of former actor and Universal Motion Dancer member Wowie De Guzman, passed away on Saturday, April 26.
 
According to a report aired on ABS-CBN's news program “TV Patrol” on Tuesday, April 29, Reyes died a month after giving birth to their first daughter, Alex Rafael. The cause of her death is still undetermined.
 
“Sobrang bilis talaga, e. Wala, hindi namin alam kung ano nangyari. Natutulog lang kami tapos tumayo lang siya, pumunta sa CR, umihi, tapos bumalik para matulog ulit,” he told “TV Patrol.”
 
Wowie further narrated, “Pero bago siya natulog, may ininom siya, parang muscle pain reliever. Nag-dilate na yung mata niya tapos nanigas na yung mga ganito niya, so (sinubukan kong) i-mouth to mouth kaya lang wala talaga. Tinakbo namin sa ospital.”
 
Wowie brought Sheryl to a hospital in Pampanga, where the doctors tried to revive her. 
 
The 37-year-old actor said his wife suffered from erratic blood pressure and gestational diabetes during her pregnancy.
 
“Naniniwala ako na gusto ito ng nasa taas, ng Panginoon. Medyo masakit, pero kailangan mong tanggapin kasi siguro naman ako na hindi Niya ibibigay ito sa akin ng hindi ko makakayanan,” Wowie said.
 
The actor—who shot to fame as the onscreen partner of actress Judy Ann Santos during the 90s—added  he will focus on raising her daughter after the passing of his wife.
 
“Ang pinakamaganda doon sa lahat, meron siyang iniwang alaala sa akin. Doon na lang ako humuhugot ng lakas ng loob,” Wowie said. “Ang dami naming pangarap para sa anak namin, and hindi ko pwede maging mahina dahil kailangan ko maging strong para sa baby because kung magiging weak ako, masasaktan ang asawa ko.”
 
Wowie and Sheryl married in July 2013.
