's message, "May you rest in Peace ROSARIO" on 18:10:09 04/24/06 Mon
I believe that a human being is a single being unique and unrepeatable. We come on earth for a reason i think i met her for a reason at the Miss Universe Pageant in
Seoul Korea 1980 and she kept in my mind as a real beauty from heart and soul that is how i remember her.
May you rest in peace Rosario

>"It came to me as a great shock," he told the Inquirer

>Silayan died at around 8 p.m. at St. Luke's Medical

>
>The daughter of the late actor Vic Silayan, Chat is
>survived by her husband Mike Bailon and children
>Victor Anthony, Timothy and Michaela.
>
>Her remains lie at the Santuario de San Antonio in
>Forbes Park, Makati City. Interment is set for
>Saturday at the Manila Memorial Park in Sucat,
>Parañaque City.

>up--at least she'd have known that I was around."
>
>Another picture

>Silayan's friend, singer Kuh Ledesma, saw another

>
>"I know for a fact that she suffered a lot because of

>courageous because she was certain that she would go
>to heaven."
>
>The last time she saw Silayan, the singer said, was
>six months ago. "At the time, I had heard she was
>already in a bad way, but there she was at the mall
>with her family. I think they were going to see a

>
>Rivera said her daughter had started feeling pains in
>the abdomen and lower back two years ago, but that the
>actress, a health buff, had brushed off those

>a rigid exercise regimen.
>
>Finally, Rivera recounted, Silayan was alarmed when
>she passed blood in her urine and stool. She went for
>a checkup then, the mother said.
>
>Her daughter had insisted that discussions about her

>
>"Michael was her faithful companion throughout this

>
>Silayan also belonged to the New Life Christian

>"I will miss our prayer time together," said

>
>Within an hour of Silayan's passing, her friend and

>Salud himself said he found out about Silayan's

>
>"Chat and I started our [separate] careers together.
>If it were not for her, Dang, Melanie (Marquez) and
>the other girls [I helped dress up as beauty queens],
>I wouldn't be where I am now," he added.
>
>"I will always remember Chat as the one who made the

>Final exit
>
>Silayan had worn Salud's creation, a light blue
>serpentina (tight-fitting terno that flares
>dramatically at the knees) for the 1980 Miss Universe
>competition in Seoul, South Korea.
>
>Now for this, her final exit, Silayan is wearing
>another Salud creation--an ecru gown made from piña
>fabric, with an embroidered collar and long sleeves
>with ruffles.
>
>He explained: "Chat was always a big lover of
>Filipiniana. I am at once glad and sad that her last
>outfit was something I had made."
>
>Silayan was also a registered nutritionist-dietitian
>with a degree from the Philippine Women's University.
>She passed the board exams in 1979.

>Movie career

>In the movies, she was last seen in Star Cinema's "My
