In his latest vlog, Benedict documented his experience from preparing for the procedure to his recovery, giving viewers an honest look at what happened during his stay in the hospital. The influencer underwent a fistulectomy, a surgical procedure performed to remove a fistula, an abnormal passage that can develop between organs or between an organ and the skin.
Before checking into the hospital, Benedict spent some time treating himself as a way to relax before the operation. Once admitted, he completed nearly 10 hours of fasting and underwent a digestive cleanse before doctors proceeded with both a colonoscopy and the scheduled fistulectomy.
Despite feeling optimistic, Benedict admitted he still had concerns before entering the operating room.

"I just hoped everything would turn out well. I mean, it should 'cause it's not a super major surgery," he said.
While recovering, the content creator reflected on how he had delayed seeking medical attention despite experiencing symptoms for a long time. He admitted that work had become his priority, leading him to ignore warning signs from his body.
"Matagal ko nang nararamdaman, two years na, pero ini-ignore ko na lang siya. Kasi nga sobrang busy lately and ayokong maka-lose ng opportunity. In return, tinitiis ko 'yung mga nararamdaman ko," he shared.
Looking back, Benedict said the experience taught him a valuable lesson about balancing work and personal well-being. He encouraged viewers not to sacrifice their health in exchange for career opportunities, stressing that physical wellness should always come first.
"If it doesn't make you feel good, if it costs your health, it's not worth it. Kung sa tingin mo mauubusan ka ng oras by ignoring your health, it is not worth it. 'Yung health mo should be your top priority," he added.
Apart from sharing his health journey, Benedict also included lighter moments in the vlog by giving fans a glimpse of his life with his son, Aleck. He featured their bonding moments and clips from his recent birthday celebration with close friends, showing a more personal side amid his recovery.
Benedict first introduced his son to the public through a vlog released in May 2024.
