Na-sad naman ako sa news sa anak nila Tirso Cruz III at Lyn na si TJ, Salve. Sabi ni Dolor, lymphatic cancer daw at kanina lang daw madaling araw bumigay ang panganay nila. Nakaka-sad talaga na iyon anak mo mauna sa iyo na kunin ni God. Ang bait-bait pa naman ng mga anak nila Tirso, sina Bodjie at Janine. Si TJ hindi pumasok ng showbiz. At in fairness ha, pag naghahanap kami ng tulong sa ospital siya ang nilalapitan namin. Tulad nila Tirso at Lyn ang mga anak nila, very friendly at magalang. Sana ma-overcome nila ang sadness na ito. We pray that God will welcome TJ, sana forever his memories, his happy ones will always be remembered. We pray for you TJ. We pray for Tirso and Lyn, for the Cruz family, we honor your sadness, we will always be praying for you. #lolitkulit #instatalk #71naako ??????????

Si Teejay ay dating mainstay ng Ang TV, ang sikat na '90s youth-oriented show ng ABS-CBN.

Napanood din siya sa pelikulang Rollerboys (1995) at Eskapo (1995).

Pero nang magbinata si Teejay ay tumigil ito sa pag-aartista.

Si Teejay ang co-founder ng Spike For Hope, ang fundraising volleyball tournament para sa Make A Wish Philippines non-profit organization.

Layunin nitong makatulong sa mga batang may malubhang karamdaman.

Kapatid ni Teejay sina Bodie at Djanin Cruz na parehong sumubok ding sumabak sa showbiz.

LAST BIRTHDAY

Noong October 22 lamang ay ipinagdiwang ni Teejay ang kanyang 37th birthday.

Nag-post pa sina Lyn, Bodie, at Djanin ng birthday greeting para kay Teejay.

"I praise and thank God for you! I am a proud mother because you have a very good heart, a hardworking person, and so full of talent! I pray for good health and more blessings to come your way.
