The "The Secrets of Hotel 88" star said the operation was intended to repair his damaged eardrum, which had affected some of his daily activities. Through the procedure, doctors were able to close the perforation and improve his hearing condition.

Aside from the ear surgery, Josh also underwent a procedure related to his nasal health.

“And yung pala sa nose ko naman po is for my sinus. I had a polyps removal,” he added.

The actor's nasal operation involved the removal of polyps, which are growths that can develop inside the nasal passages and may contribute to breathing difficulties and sinus-related issues.

Although he has already resumed some work commitments, Josh emphasized that he is still in the recovery phase. He remains under medical guidance as his body continues to heal from the procedures.
