A content creator couldn’t help but flex his resiliency when it comes to eating fatty foods amid the news about the passing of Mukbang vlogger Dongz Apatan.
In his Facebook post, Diego dela Cruz, popularly known as Jigs TVE, republished his vlog showing how he consumed six pieces of ‘balut’ and several bottles of energy drink.
The said vlog made Jigs one of the most popular Mukbang vloggers in the country right now.
Jigs clarified that he was not doing such extreme eating anymore.
“Mas mabait po ako ngayon kasi mas madami na kayong followers ko,” he said.
Some netizens also noticed that Jigs made a reference to Dongz’s passing. Several days before his passing, Dongz went viral for eating a whole head of cow.
“Pagkatapos kumain ng ulo ng Baka,” Jigz wrote while showing his fit body to his followers.
Dongz’s family claimed that the content creator didn’t manage to leave any amount of money to his children despite having 400,000 followers and millions of total views on his Mukbang content.
Experts told netizens to avoid imitating some Mukbang vloggers who were eating fatty foods.
They also reminded the netizens to always check their health before eating something that might raise their blood pressure.
