Singer Sweet Plantado-Tiongson, Rogers granddaughter-in-law, posted the theater legend s deteriorating health condition hours before she died. Sad to say that she s nearing departure. Lungs, kidneys no more. Heart getting tired. She s on breathing machine. Palliative care is only thing we can do, Plantado said in her post.
