"About this time 4 years ago I almost lost my life to a box jellyfish. I am very thankful that I got stung by only half a tentacle. So, even if I experienced all the symptoms… vomitting in a span of 1 minute, extreme pain and delirium. The venom was not enough to put me into cardiac arrest and turn into a fatal sting.” she wrote.

"This summer, be careful in our waters. Because yes, we do have one of the world's deadliest jellyfish in Philippine seas—the box jellyfish...The ocean is their home. We are merely visitors.So it is our responsibility to be careful and ask locals if we should be on the look out for jellyfish in their waters when going for a swim."
