“Sabi mo, okay ka lang. Sabi ko, kahit puntahan kita.
“Kim Idol, teh, kaya pa 'yan. 'Wag na 'wag kang bibitaw. Lumaban ka. Kaya mo yan.”

In 2015, Kim Idol revealed that he has brain arteriovenous malformation, a rare medical condition characterized by a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain disrupting oxygen flow.
He said back then, “Masakit na masakit yung ulo tapos nabubundol ako sa mga wall. Parang nawala 'yung right periphery ko kaya hindi rin ako makabasa.
“Nung di ko na matiis 'yung sakit, dinala ako ng mga kaibigan ko sa ospital at doon nakita sa CT-Scan na nagdudugo 'yung utak ko.”
At the time, Kim suffered from a minor brain hemorrhage causing severe headache and nausea.
Kim Idol, whose real name is Michael Taniera Argente, is a writer and a popular stand-up comedian in the Philippine entertainment scene.
His most recent work would be appearing as “Laylay De Lima,” his impersonation of Senator Leila de Lima.
He also appeared in a few Kapuso shows such as Meant To Be and the musical variety show Full House Tonight.
