Marjorie Barretto shared a life update on Instagram late Thursday, 31 August where she was seen recovering from an unspecified illness in a hospital. 

"Just as I thought August was about to end quietly, I had to spend the last week of the month in fear and found myself asking myself so many why's… Health is truly wealth," Marjorie wrote in the post. 

"Nothing else matters more than that. Feeling bad I terrified my kids for a while. Mom's really don't have the right to get sick. Single Mom's have to stay in their best form ALWAYS. But I'm good now, much better, not 100 percent yet but definitely a wake-up call for all of us in the family," she continued. 

Marjorie said her doctors advised her to have a healthier lifestyle and lots of stress dumping. 

"Just thought of sharing coz you know how there are so many parts of our lives we don't get to share on Instagram," Marjorie wrote.
