Natatakot umano si Kent Juan Resquir, ex-boyfriend ni Norman Balbuena a.k.a. "Boobay," sa health condition ng dating karelasyon matapos nitong malaman ang nangyari sa isang episode ng "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda."
Habang tinatanong ni Tito Boy si Booba sa "Fast Talk" portion ay biglang nagging unresponsive si Boobay at tila nag-hang. Mabilis naman siyang dinaluhan ng TV host ay humingi ng commercial break upang maasiste si Boobay.
Makalipas ang 6 na minuto ay muling nagbalik ang FTWBA at balik na rin sa regular programming si Boobay. Aniya, sanay na siya sa mga ganoong episode ng kaniyang buhay, simula nang gumaling siya mula sa stroke noong 2016.
Sa Friday episode naman ng FTWBA, nagbigay ng update si Tito Boy na okay na si Boobay, at ang naranasan daw nito ay "silent seizure."
Boy, may update tungkol kay Boobay; komedyante, nagka-silent seizure pala
Sa kuwento naman sa Facebook post ni Kent, noong sila pa ni Norman ay naranasan na rin niya ang pag-eepisode nito. Nagbakasyon daw sila noon sa El Nido, Palawan ngunit nang nasa hotel na raw sila ay may napansin siya rito.
"However, as we settled into our hotel, I noticed something strange happening to him. At first, I thought he was just daydreaming or lost in thought, but as the days went on, I noticed it happening more frequently."
"Boobay would suddenly stop mid-sentence and stare blankly into space for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and trying to continue the conversation as if nothing had happened," kuwento ni Kent.
Dahil nag-alala sa kalagayan ng ex, pinayuhan niya aniya itong magpakonsulta na sa doktor.
"I was concerned and asked him if he was feeling okay, but he brushed it off and said he was just tired from working. However, the episodes persisted throughout our trip, and I couldn't help but worry. I was trying to give him calming massage to his hands and deep breathing exercises. We still tried to continue enjoying our trip, albeit with some caution. Still, I did heaps of monitoring."
Sa kabilang banda, sadyang "matigas" daw ang ulo ni Boobay at ayaw magpatingin sa isang neuro-doctor. Takot daw si Boobay sa pagpunta at sa ospital.
"As we returned back to Manila from Palawan, I couldn't help but think this strange event will happen to him especially in television and it did really happen. Now, I couldn’t help as I am miles away but I always remind him to pay attention to his body and seek medical help when something doesn't feel right."
Kahit na matagal na silang hiwalay, kapakanan pa rin ni Boobay ang iniisip ni Kent.
"Yes, we broke up but I still care for him. And yes, I am still his manager when it comes to his health because he is precious to me. I understand that he is going through a tough time, and I apologise and empathise with the pain that he is experiencing."
"While I want him to stay strong, I also encourage him to be kind to himself as he navigates through life's challenges. STAY STRONG!" dagdag pa ni Kent.
