Content creator and podcast host Baus Rufo had another hilarious moment during a live report on the morning show Unang Hirit.

On TikTok, Baus shared a storytime video about his recent cockroach encounter while reporting on Unang Hirit with Miss Philippines Earth 2025 and co-host Joy Barcoma.

"Okay, storytime tayo sa nangyari kanina sa Unang Ipis," he began.

Baus shared that he initially thought a production staff member wanted him to do a choreography, as the staff member was gesturing toward him while he was reporting.

"Sabi ko, "Ha? May kailangan ba gawing choreography today? So, of course, medyo nakiliti ako, sabi ko ano 'yun? ano 'yun? Napaisip ako, ano 'to, gagamba? sawa? ipis? So, paghampas ko, biglang bugsh," he recalled.

After swatting at it, he and Joy confirmed that it was a cockroach.

"So, habang nalalagutan ng hininga 'yung ipis. May sinasabi siya, e, Unang Hirit," he joked.

In the middle of his storytime, the host showed a screenshot of Unang Hirit's comment on his video, which read, “Binayaran namin 'yung ipis, btw.”

He then replied, "Na-screenshot ko na 'to. Pls expect a call from my lawyer."

"Basically, umamin siya sa kasalanan niya na Unang Hirit ang nagpadala sa kanya. Ito ang pruweba," he said in the video.

Baus also shared that Joy could not help but react during the live report, joking that she had her own “farewell walk” moment amid the cockroach encounter.

Despite the incident, however, Baus shared that Joy told him she would continue with the report.

"So, anong lesson dito? Huwag na huwag niyo babanggain ang mga HR," he concluded.
