Previously, Lee explained that she hadn’t slept or eaten prior to the segment, which may have caused the error. She promised to look after her health moving forward and eat before future live reports.

Several areas in Metro Manila and nearby provinces have reported flooding due to continuous rains. Local governments have suspended classes and work in affected areas as precautionary measures.

His emotional post resonated with netizens, many of whom praised his strength and calm in the face of adversity. This is not the first time the chef-vlogger has endured flooding in his home, as he also experienced the same ordeal during Typhoon Carina last year.
