Apart from his daughter’s battle with cancer, Anthony Taberna said that he and his family are facing yet another difficult challenge.
The broadcast journalist together with his wife Rossel in an episode of Magandang Buhay on Tuesday that they lost a large sum of money from their restaurant business to someone they thought they could trust.
“Medyo talagang itong 2020 hindi siya pumayag na matapos nang hindi magbibigay ng additional struggle sa aming pamilya,” said Rossel.
“Isipin mo hirap na hirap kami. Alam mo ‘yung pagpapagamot sa katulad ni Zoey, sa kanyang kondisyon, mabigat ‘yun eh. Diba napupuntahan paminsan-minsan niyo itong Ka Tunying’s. Nadiskubre namin two weeks, three weeks ago lamang na kami pala ay ninanakawan ng taong pinagtitiwalaan namin dito sa kompanya,” shared Anthony.

“Eh sabi ko napakahirap naman ‘nung ganung sitwasyon, at hindi maliit na halaga ‘yung kinuha sa kompanya. Kumbaga kumita ka ng konti sa pagtitinda mo ng tinapay, iniipon mo ‘yan tapos kukuhain lang pala ng ibang tao. Sobrang sakit sa pakiramdam ‘nun,” he added.
Anthony said that they are now working on filing a case against the person involved. If worse comes to worst, their business might also face closure.
“Kung hindi namin mareremedyuhan ngayon ang nangyari, masakit man ipinagtapat ko na sa manager namin na baka ihanda natin ang sarili natin sa pagsasara ng komponya. Sobra kasing laki nung nawala kaya napakahirap ng pangyayari ngayon.”
But despite the circumstances, the former DZMM anchor said he and his family are holding on to their faith in God.
“Talagang napakahirap pala…Dati yung pagsubok ay sunod-sunod ngayon patong-patong so kailangan mong maging matatag.”
In a Facebook live on Tuesday, Anthony also shared a few of his realizations from all the trials he is undergoing.
“Kapag pinapadaan ka sa pagsubok ay kinakabig ka lang ng Panginoong Diyos eh…‘Yun bang parang lalong pinapaalala lang sa’yo ng Diyos na kailangan mo siya,” he said.
