MANILA -- Former Promil Kid and visual artist CJ de Silva-Ong passed away on Tuesday. She was just 36 years old.

Her husband, director and actor Wincy Ong, confirmed the sad news in a social media post on Wednesday morning.

De Silva-Ong died after suffering an aneurysm and two strokes, said Wincy. 

"She fought to the very end.  Sadly, yesterday at 10:45AM, while in the ICU, our beloved Cj suffered two strokes, and finally became one with the Universe. She was a loving wife to me, a loving cat-mom to our cats Andres and Max, and a loving daughter to her parents and uncle. She was a passionate Executive Creative Director in the industry she loved so much--advertising. She used her talents in illustration and painting in championing causes close to heart," Wincy said. 

"Most of you would remember her as a Promil Gifted Child in those commercials in the Nineties, but from the many people who visited the hospital or sent in a message or two, I learned that Cj was a gift herself to the people who came to know her. Behind that tough and take-charge person you may know is such a sweet, caring girl. I will always remember her for the kindness she brought to people. She always told me she'd wanted a funeral that was fun and not so serious. Let's celebrate her 36 amazing years here on this planet by filling it with things that made her happy--music, conversations, coffee, and good food," he added. 

De Silva-Ong was the Executive Creative Director of TBWA\Santiago Mangada Puno.

Her wake will be held at The Heritage Park in Taguig on June 20 to 22. The cremation is scheduled on June 23, Sunday.
