R.I.P. CJ de Silva-Ong (Aug 1, 1987 - June 18, 2024)

Visual artist, creative director, podcaster and Promil gifted child CJ De Silva-Ong has passed away on June 18, 2024. She was 36 years old.

This is husband Wincy Ong shared in his short tribute for CJ:

"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. 

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."
