Wowie also gave an update on his companions, Gerry Oliva and Paulo Gales Cabanero, saying they were also doing well.

“Upon checking on Gerry, he was okay. So far, he also hasn't felt anything. My friend Paulo, my director, road manager, and all-around assistant, is also okay. They are with their family,” he said.

On Tuesday morning, the car Wowie was driving crashed into a concrete barrier along Maharlika Highway in Sto. Tomas City, Batangas.
