BOOBAY STUMBLES ON STAGE WHILE HOSTING EVENT IN APARRI

Boobay stumbled on stage while hosting a town fiesta in Aparri, Cagayan on Tuesday, May 7.

In a livestream of the event on Vice Mayor Rene Chan’s Facebook page, the comedian was performing with fellow comedian Pepita Curtis when the incident happened.

Boobay suddenly stopped singing as the camera focused on Pepita. A few seconds later, Boobay fell down as Pepita and other staff members rushed toward him.

Upon the incident, the livestream went on a commercial break with Pepita saying “Naano lang po siya, na-out of balance.” 

Shortly after he recovered, Boobay returned to the stage and continued his performance along with Pepita. 

According to Sparkle vice president Joy Marcelo, Boobay stumbled on stage because she was blinded by the harsh lights on stage. 

On X (formerly Twitter), his co-host Pepita assured Boobay is doing fine after the incident. 

“Sa mga taga-Aparri, maraming salamat po!!! OK na po si Boobay nagpapahinga na po dito sa hotel. Maraming salamat po!!! God bless po!!!” he wrote.

In April of last year, the Kapuso comedian became unresponsive in the middle of his interview on  "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda.”

In the same interview, Boobay said he still experiences some aftereffects of the stroke he suffered in 2016. He recovered two months later and went back to work.

According to Boobay, his doctor advised him to take a break occasionally to give his body the proper care it needs.

"Kailangan raw magpahinga ako lagi, pero kaya ako tumatanggap ng trabaho [kasi] 'yun pa rin 'yung best way ko para magpahinga," he said.
