Andrea, who is actually a certified and capable diver, was tasked with sharing the waters with gigantic whale sharks.

However, the physical toll of remaining submerged for extended periods without proper gear quickly escalated into a frightening medical emergency.

“Medyo nakakatakot yung time na yon kase kailangan kong abutin ang mga butanding and minsan yung malalaking butanding na ang lalim… Basta andaming complications pero pinush ko pa rin. Hanggang sa naring ko talagang pumutok yung tenga ko,” she candidly revealed.

Following a loud pop and sharp, piercing pain, the disoriented star instinctively rushed to the surface, where she also experienced a sudden nosebleed.
