                    [Summary] => The final bell rang for teenaged junior lightweight fighter Gregie Simbajon at 2:30 a.m. yesterday in Sucat, Parañaque.


Simbajon, 19, died of cancer that started from a soft tissue tumor in his pelvis then spread to the lungs. He was diagnosed to be suffering from the killer disease late last year.


Simbajon’s trainer Sonny Sangalang told The STAR the shaven-skulled boxer fought to the end. His parents Avelino and Vitaliana flew in from Davao del Norte to be with their son at his deathbed.

                    [Summary] => Junior lightweight fighter Gregie Simbajon, 19, is bed-ridden with cancer, Stage 3, and listed as a terminal case. He has a soft tissue tumor the size of a pomelo, near his pelvis. The cancer has spread to the bone and the lungs.


Simbajon has been subjected to chemotherapy. He shaved his head when his hair started to fall.


Simbajon’s manager Marty Elorde yesterday said attending physician Dr. Cipriano de los Reyes has called off more chemotherapy. Simbajon’s kidneys are weakening and he’s running a fever because of the infection.

Kojima flew to Iloilo City to bring Gustilo back home. Gustilo was cremated and Kojima brought his remains in a urn from Osaka. Finding no relatives, Kojima left the urn at the Our Lady of the Assumption church in Barangay Obrero, Iloilo City, care of Fr. Maurillo Silva.
