Elijah Alejo


Elijah Alejo recently opened up about her recent health scare that sent her to the hospital.

Now recovering from a health scare, MAKA star Elijah Alejo has a message about self-care for her fans.

In a recent Facebook post, Elijah shared that she had just gotten out of the hospital, along with black-and-white photos from her confinement.

"I stayed quiet because I needed time: to rest, to process, to breathe. Being confined wasn't just physically hard, it hit me emotionally too," she shared.

The MAKA actress revealed that she had been "running on empty," as she continued to skip meals, sleep late, and pretend her body was still fine.

"I kept saying 'kaya pa' until I couldn't anymore," she admitted.

Elijah added, "That hospital bed forced me to face what I kept avoiding: that no amount of work, success, or busyness is worth my health."

She highlighted "HEALTH IS WEALTH," expressing her commitment to prioritize self-care moving forward.

After going through it herself, the Sparkle artist now urges everyone to take better care of their health.

"Eat on time. Rest. Drink water . Don't wait for your body to force you to stop," she reminded her fans.

At the end of her post, Elijah shared that she is now in recovery and continues to learn from her health scare with "more care, more awareness, and more love for myself."

Elijah is one of the new cast members to watch out for in the second season of MAKA.
