Arnold Clavio on his second life, "Forever grateful po ako habang ako'y nabubuhay."
It's a joyful Monday (August 5) for the Unang Hirit team as Arnold "Igan" Clavio returns to the studio. Following yesterday's teaser, the Kapuso host happily resumed his role, greeting morning viewers.
The entire UH team also organized a small celebration for their colleague's comeback, complete with gifts, surprises, and heartfelt messages.
"Forever grateful po ako habang ako'y nabubuhay. Habang ako'y nabubuhay, salamat sa Kapuso natin, sa inyo rin (Unang Hirit team). Sa lahat po na naging bahagi ng buhay ko at magiging bahagi ng pangalawa kong buhay ay salamat. Salamat kung saan man magpatungo ito. Ang Diyos na po ang bahala at sana magsama-sama tayo na maging malusog," Arnold said.
Kapuso celebrities like Carla Abellana and Alden Richards surprised Igan with special video messages. Former Unang Hirit host Rhea Santos also shared her well wishes for her friend.
"Igs, marami kang ginulat pero marami rin nagdasal para sa paggaling mo. I know that you know how to enjoy life. Pero alam din namin ang work load mo. Wala ka nang dapat patunayan. Marami kang natulungan. Ang importante ngayon ang sarili mo dahil maraming nagmamahal sa 'yo. Welcome back sa nag-iisang Igan sa Unang Hirit," she said.
To celebrate Arnold's return, the UH team also participated in a TikTok dance challenge together.
Arnold had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke last June. Despite his return, he continues to be cautious as his therapy is ongoing.
The Kapuso reporter recounted his frightening medical ordeal in a recent Instagram post and urged everyone to "listen to your body."
