Gardo Versoza: “Umabot ako dun sa point na parang about to leave this world”
GARDO VERSOZA – The veteran actor opened up about his recent health scare and also shared what it’s like to find himself brushing close to death.
The veteran actor had a heart attack last March, underwent an angioplasty procedure, discharged from the hospital last April, and is undergoing rehabilitation. He also announced last April that he decided to sell his gym equipment to raise funds for his 2nd angioplasty procedure.
Gardo appeared on Monday’s episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” where he gave an update about his health.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Gardo shared that the doctors found 2 clogged arteries in his heart after his angiogram, with one of arteries 100% blocked. According to him, he reached the point where he was about to leave the world.

The actor also shared what it’s like to find himself brushing close to death. According to him, he surrendered everything to God.
“Ganun pala ‘yung feeling na parang akala ko before nakakanerbyos,” he said. “Pero come to think of it, parang bibigay mo na lahat kay Lord eh. ‘Yung nga ‘yung pinagdasal ko na, ‘If ever man na this is my time, Kayo na pong bahala dun sa mag-ina.“
Gardo is married to his wife Ivy Vicencio and they have a son named Deity Uziel.
In the same interview, the actor said he had no idea that he has a heart condition because he watches what he eats and he also has an active lifestyle. However, he shared he has not gone for regular medical checkups, and that’s the lesson he learned from the experience.
“Feeling ko parang in a way baka rin ginamit akong instrumento ng Panginoon na kumbaga mai-share sa iba na huwag niyong balewalain kasi hindi biro ‘yun,” he said.
