Kapuso comedian and host Norman Balbuena, popularly known as Boobay, fell to the ground during a hosting gig in Aparri, Cagayan on May 7, but pulled through to finish the event. Co-host Pepita has confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the comedian is already doing fine. 

The incident occurred while Boobay was performing onstage with fellow comedian Pepita and a member of the audience during the 344th Aparri Town Fiesta celebration.

Based on a livestream video uploaded on Facebook, Boobay was seen singing to Pepita's interpretative dance number when he suddenly paused before ultimately falling to the ground.

The livestream proceeded after a short commercial break, with Boobay, who had seemingly recovered, returning to the stage as the duo performed their last song to end the night. "Na-out of balance lang po siya," said Pepita.

Pepita also took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank the locals in Aparri, followed by a positive status update about Boobay's condition. "Sa mga taga-Aparri, maraming salamat po!!! OK na po si Boobay nagpapahinga na po dito sa hotel. Maraming salamat po!!! God bless po!!!"

It can be remembered that Boobay also suffered a seizure during an interview on "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda" in April 2023, where he also confirmed that he still experiences mild aftereffects after suffering a stroke in 2016.
