In a lengthy post on Instagram, Tolentino on Tuesday night shared how she has been during the past week after undergoing surgery for a ruptured appendix.

"This was not how I wanted my 30th birthday to go. But maybe it was an experience God knew I needed. It’s funny saying that because why would He want this for me," the former Ateneo standout said.

Tolentino said her recent scare made her experience "the worst pain," so far.

"This was probably the worst pain I’ve experienced, I had a fever for almost a week, and went to the ER twice because my condition was misdiagnosed. On top of that, there were also some other complications that came up. Everything that could go wrong went wrong," she said.

Nonetheless, she kept the faith, and went on to share how holding unto God kept her going.

"But because of God’s Grace he still protected me from the worse. He reminded me that we are all human and we do not have control over the things that happen to us. He reminded me that even when I felt like I was so far from Him he was still right there the whole time," she said.

Despite all the hardships, Tolentino expressed gratitude as she had a chance to power through.

"My mindset with every setback has always been 'Ok, how can I comeback from this,' 'How can I become stronger,' 'When can I start again?' But for the first time, the first thought that came into my head was 'Thank God, I’m alive.'"

The 30-year-old went on to thank the support she received.

In the same post, fellow Ateneo alum and Choco Mucho setter Deanna Wong shared a short but sweet and uplifting message.

"Love u te kaaatalinaaa!!!" she said.

The Flying Titans dedicated their recent win in the PVL to the recovering Tolentino, according to coach Dante Alinsunurin and spikers Sisi Rondina and Dindin Santiago-Manabat.

MANILA, Philippines – Kat Tolentino was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and had to undergo surgery, her Premier Volleyball League (PVL) team, Choco Mucho, said Tuesday.

In a statement, the Flying Titans revealed that yesterday, January 20, she experienced severe abdominal pains, prompting her to be hospitalized.

"Today she was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and had to undergo surgery this afternoon. She is resting now. Let's all pray for her quick and full recovery," Choco Mucho said.

On top of this, in November 2024, Tolentino revealed that she has yet to recover from an auditory condition she acquired earlier that year.

The opposite spiker has been pivotal in Choco Mucho's campaign in the ongoing 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.

She has, so far, contributed a total of 79 points on 56 attacks, 19 blocks, and four service aces while making her presence felt at the defense with 40 digs.

Tolentino helped Choco Mucho clinch four wins as they try to replicate—if not surpass—their output in the last two all-Pinoy contests.
