Vlogger Cong TV shaves head to show support for Emman Nimedez in battle vs. leukemia

Cong Velasquez, the man behind the YouTube channel "Cong TV," has shaved his head to show support for fellow vlogger Emman Nimedez who is currently battling leukemia.

The YouTuber shocked his subscribers at the end of his latest vlog titled "Berswan," when he took a razor and said he wanted his friend Emman to know that he was "not alone in his fight."

"Sa mga nakapanuod sa vlog ni Emman, nakita niyo naman na nagpakalbo na siya, and ito rin 'yung way nakita ko of showing support to Emman na hindi siya nag-iisa sa laban na 'to," Cong said.

The vlogger had yet to reveal his newly-shaved head, but he approached the people in house to see how his friends and family would react to the surprise.

Cong immediately became a trending topic on his Twitter after uploading the video on Wednesday.

The Cong TV YouTube channel is followed by more than five million subscribers.

Cong and his crew who call themselves "Team Payaman" make funny videos about their simple Pinoy lifestyle and having fun with his friends at home.

He has also appeared in several "collab" videos with Emman, who announced earlier this year that he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

In his latest vlog, Emman greeted his fans with a newly shaved head and announced that he was feeling better and has already finished the first cycle of his chemotherapy.
