Santos, however, did not disclose the cause of his death.<\/p>\n<p>Bernardo through his Facebook account posted in January that the doctors found a tumor in his pancreas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast month, after a series of lab tests (including an ultrasound and CT scan), my medical specialist friends at the UST (University of Santo Tomas) hospital, a gastroenterologist and an oncologist, shared their findings: (in layman\u2019s terms) my pancreas is swollen because of a tumor, possibly malignant, growing in the head of the pancreas. As it grows it begins to press on the bile duct and the pancreatic duct and with increasing pressure, the ducts eventually get pinched off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He then added, \u201cI have lost my appetite for food and, consequently, lost a lot of weight at an alarming rate in such a short span of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the post, Bernardo underwent another series of lab tests and was scheduled for an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) allowing fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy to determine if the tumor is malignant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich is why, heart to heart, my friends, I hope you will find time to say a little prayer for me,\u201d he ended his post.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most remembered roles that Bernardo played was Steve Carpio in the iconic sitcom in \u201cHome Along Da Riles\u201d led by the late comedy king Dolphy.<\/p>\n<p>On his more recent projects, Bernardo was part of the award-winning Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry \u201cAng Larawan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran stage-movie actor Bernardo Bernardo passed away at the age 73 on March 8, according to his family.
