According to radio reports, Desiree Raquiza died at around 11 p.m. the other night at the Makati Medical Center (MMC).
Personnel of the Makati Medical Center confirmed the death of Raquiza. However, the office of Raquiza’s attending physician, Dr. Gerard Panlilio, declined to provide any further information.
A member of Panlilio’s office said that the family of Raquiza had directed them not to release any information about Desiree.
Raquiza along with Vandolph were severely injured in a car crash two weeks ago in Pangasinan.
The two were on their way to Baguio when the F-150 truck Vandolph was driving rammed into an Isuzu Elf truck.
Raquiza was initially confined at a nearby hospital in Pangasinan before she was transferred to the MMC. She was in a coma since the accident while Vandolph was said to be slowly recovering. – Marvin Sy
