The doctors explained the exact cause of the content creator, Dongz Apatan’s untimely passing.

In a report by GMA Network, the family of the content creator admitted that they were aware that he already had high blood pressure, but they still didn’t stop him from doing his extreme eating habits.

They also insisted that Dongz was eating moderately and not always eating fatty foods.

However, a doctor contradicted the claims of the content creator, saying that the latter suffered from a severe consequence of high blood pressure.

“Nagkaroon siya ng blood clot sa brain, ibig sabihin tumaas ang blood pressure niya pumotok ‘yung ugat sa brain,” Cardiologist Doctor Tony Leachon said.

“Maalat syempre, pangalawa ‘yung pagkain ng karne everyday mo gagawin ‘yon so magbabara ang ugat mo sa brain, pwede ka rin magkaroon ng heart attack,” he added.

Dr. Leachon also said that the Mukbang content creators like Dongz were promoting bad eating habits and may also encourage other netizens to eat unmoderated.

“Lesson learn ito sa ating lahat, pag naging habit ito, your habits dictates your behavior and your behavior determines your destiny, ang pagkain talaga pag sobra hindi maganda lalo na kapag maalat, mataba at matamis,” he said.

Dongz suffered the same condition as veteran journalist Arnold Clavio, but the latter fortunately survived.

One of the close friends of Kapamilya actress Andrea Brillantes couldn’t hide her disappointment after she received a message from a follower who asked her an absurd request.

In her Facebook post, Bea Borres showed the private message she received from a follower who thought they would get money for house construction in exchange for likes.

The said follower, who claimed to be 14 years old, told Bea that they didn’t want to share a house with another family anymore.

This is what the message indicates:

“How many likes po yung gusto nyo para po matulungan nyo po ako makapag pa tayo ng sariling bahay para po sa mga magulang kopo 14 years old palang po kase ako nakikitira lang po kase kami bali dalawang pamilya po kami sa isang bahay kasama po kapatid ni mama bakanaman po makahingi ng kahit onti pang pagawa lang po ng bahay,” the netizen told Bea.

“Nakakahiya man po sainyo dahil di nyo naman po ako kamag anak or kadugo kahit onti lang po para po makabili lang ng mga materials po may kulang papo kase sa lupa,” they added.

Bea aired her sentiments on how the social media begging was “getting out of hand.”

It can be recalled that some individuals were already using modern mediums like social media to beg for money.

The children of the content creator who passed away due to his alleged extreme eating habits would attempt to continue the social media activities of their father.

It can be recalled that on June 14, 2024, Iligan-based content creator Dongz Apatan passed away suddenly due to cardiac arrest, which is believed to be connected to eating fatty foods.

His last content showed how he ate a whole cow’s head alone.

According to Dongz’s sister, Leah Apatan, they planned to continue content creation by featuring her brother’s children.

“Dahil biglaan ang pagkawala ng aking kuya, ang Facebook page niya ay gagamitin pa rin ng kanyang mga anak para matustusan ang kanilang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan at pag-aaral lalo na’t matanda na ang mga lolo’t lola ng mga bata para magtrabaho,” said Leah.

“Umaasa kami na maipagpapatuloy namin ang nasimulan ng aking kuya,” she added.

However, unlike the usual content of Dongz’s, they vowed to only eat healthy foods during their ‘Mukbang’ sessions to avoid another unfortunate incident.

Some netizens promised they would still follow the page and support the upcoming content of Dongz’s children.

Meanwhile, experts reminded the netizens to dine in moderation and always check their health before eating fatty foods.

A delivery rider filed a formal complaint against a resident of San Juan City after he experienced too much inconvenience after being damped by water during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival’ last Monday, June 24.

San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora personally accommodated the delivery rider at the Office of the Prosecutor.

According to the rider, he asked the resident not to pour water on him due to his work, but the latter showed unruly behavior.

When the rider tried to stop the resident, the latter started to smash him with the water dipper and hit him with his fist.

The resident may face a minor penalty for his unruly behavior if only City Ordinance No. 51 is applied. This ordinance penalizes residents with a fine of P2,500 to P5,000 within six days of being put behind bars.

Zamora also apologized for his constituents’ behavior.

“Taos-puso kaming humihingi ng paumanhin sa mga naapektuhan ng kaguluhan ng ilang mga dumalo sa pagdiriwang. Tinitiyak namin na gagawin namin ang lahat ng kinakailangang hakbang upang masigurong pananagutin ang lahat ng mga lumabag nang naaayon at upang hindi na ito maulit pa sa mga susunod na pagdiriwang,” he said.

Meanwhile, netizens were waiting if the infamous ‘Boy Dila’ would also be charged after he admitted his unruly behavior during the festival.

The infamous resident of San Juan City has expressed his disappointment after he received many fake bookings after his identity was revealed on social media.

It can be recalled that Lexter Castro went viral on social media and was labeled as ‘Boy Dila’ by netizens after he was spotted pouring water on a delivery rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival’ last Monday, June 24.

After the incident, Castro’s identity was quickly revealed on social media, and he started to receive unpaid random items he didn’t order.

Some of the items include appliances, gadgets, and other expensive items, which he obviously cannot pay for.

“Tignan niyo ang mga ginagawa niyo para makabawi kayo sa kanya kung ano ano ang ginagawa ninyo ang mga rider ang nagsasakripisyo,” one of the rider who delivered the items to Castro.

“Pinagtanggol niyo ‘yung mga rider pero kaming mga rider ang napeperwisyo,” he added.

Castro also received a funeral flower from an unknown individual, which can be considered a serious warning to him.

The flower cost P2,500 and obviously wasn’t paid by Castro.

“Angas oh,” said Castro.

Meanwhile, some netizens were asking San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora to summon Castro for his alleged unruly behaviour during the fiesta and stop him from taking advantage of the issue to become a popular content creator.

The man who became infamous on social media for pouring water on a delivery rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah’ or Basaan Festival in San Juan last Monday, June 24, decided to take advantage of his popularity.

On June 27, 2024, Boy Dila, or Lexter Castro, decided to use the criticism he received on social media as his stepping stone to become the next big content creator in the Philippines.

His first piece of content was his explanation of the viral video where he was seen trying to tease the delivery rider he was trying to wet during the festival.

According to him, people should stop going to San Juan every June 24 if they didn’t want to face any inconvenience as the festival was already a common knowledge to all Filipino people.

“Unang-una hindi ko sinaktan si Manong, binasa ko lang siya, nagpaalam ako sa kanya, sabi ko ‘babasain kita’ sabi niya ‘hindi pwede kasi may meeting siya’ pero binasa ko parin siya kasi fiesta eh,” he said.

“Wag kayong dadaan ng San Juan kapag June 24, alam naman ng taumbayan ‘yan,” he added.

Several content creators have already expressed their interest in collaborating with Lexter, including the controversial Taragis Takoyaki shop, which also went viral several months ago due to their misleading marketing practices.

Meanwhile, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora reminded the public that they can file complaints against their citizens who showed unruly behavior during the festival.

Social media influencer and entrepreneur Rosmar Tan admitted that they didn’t pay a single cent to feed themselves during their visit to Coron, Palawan.

It can be recalled that Rosmar, Rendon Labador, and Team Malakas became controversial after they stormed the municipal hall of Coron due to a negative comment from a government employee against them.

Some residents and businessmen also claimed that the group allegedly took advantage of Coron people’s hospitality by not paying for their food.

In a statement, Rosmar admitted that restaurants served them on the island for free, but it was also arranged between them and the owners.

“YES! Libre totoo naman pero ang kapalit daw nun ay pipicturan kami at ipopost sa mga pages nila hanggat kailan nila gusto. Pero dahil natuwa kami nagpost din kami sa socmed namin at prinomote mga restaurant na kinainan namin,” she said.

“Sa totoo lang 1st time ko na experience ang XDEAL sa foods kasi lagi kapag lumalabas kami ng family ko lagi kami nagbabayad. Kaya natuwa ako nung as Team MALAKAS e nag uunahan talaga sila para ilibre kami ng foods pinapatikim nila samin mga best selleeeer foods nila,” she added.

An X-deal is an arrangement between two parties who want to collaborate in exchange for a company’s goods or services without any monetary involvement.

Rosmar also insisted that the restaurants were satisfied with the arrangement.

“Bilang patunay na HAPPY ang RESTAURANT na iniissue kami, shinare pa nila post ko na nagpunta kami dun tapos ‘inisponsored’ pa nila para maraming makakita na pumunta kami dun papromote sila ng mga products nila tapos ipopost ko ng wala akong sinisingil sakanila kahit singko.” she stated.

Some fans believed that Rosmar, Rendon, and Team Malakas’ deals with the restaurant would never have become controversial if the municipal hall incident hadn’t happened in the first place.

Senator Robin Padilla expressed his confidence that his nephew, Daniel Padilla, would reconcile with Kathryn Bernardo.

In an interview with Abante, Robin said that a project between Daniel and Kathryn would be a big opportunity for the former couple to fix their problems.

“Ganyan talaga ang pag-ibig, sa simula may tampuhan dahil mga bata pa sila pero pag nag -mature sila mare-realize nila na sila pa rin sa isa’t-isa. Tingnan mo ‘pag nagkapelikula uli ‘yang dalawa magkakabalikan yan,” said Robin.

Robin also liked Kathryn for Daniel, even if the latter didn’t vote for him in the last election.

“Boto ako kay Kathryn Kahit hindi niya ako binoto,” he stated.

He also assured Kathryn that the Padilla family would remain respectful.

“Ang buong Padilla ay malaki ang pagpupugay namin kay Kathryn dahil nagbigay rin ng break kay Daniel kaya ang paggalang namin kay Kathryn ay sobra-sobra,” he said.

However, a project between Daniel and Kathryn may not happen anytime soon. It was reported that the Kapamilya actress’ renewed contract included not working with her ex-boyfriend on any projects.

It can be recalled that even Daniel’s father, Rommel Padilla, also hoped his son could still fix his relationship with Kathryn.

“Sana dumating ‘yung pagkakataon na magkita silang muli, magkaunawaan. Napakalaking panahon na nagkasama sila. Sana manumbalik pa ang kanilang pagmamahalan,” Rommel said.

A content creator passed away after he underestimated the effects of the food he was eating.

On June 14, 2024, content creator Dongz Apatan’s passing was confirmed by his relatives due to cardiac arrest.

They believed that his extreme eating habits of fatty foods affected his health already.

His last vlog showed that he ate a whole head of cow alone.

“Umalis siya sa bahay pagkatapos kumain ng tanghalian, 3pm may tumawag na inatake daw sya, kaya dinala namin sa hospital wala nang malay ginawa ng doctor ang lahat para mabuhay si kuya lahat ng gamot, CT SCAN, X-RAY, LABORATORY, ang resulta sa CT SCAN may dugo na naka pasok sa utak ni kuya, ilipat sana namin siya sa CDO para operahan pero di na niya kinaya!!!” the content creator’s sister, Leah Apatan wrote.

Leah also said that the content creator passed away broke, and it seems that his extreme eating habits were not worth it.

“Ang DAMING nag tanong kung malaki ba ang naipon ni kuya. WALA wala siyang pera ni sentimo na iniwan sa amin, nadatnan namin sa hospital na walang pera, yung Bank account nya 400 pesos lang ang laman, malaki yung nagastos namin sa hospital, nasangla/nagarantor pa yung motor nya sa hospital para lang mailabas namin yung bangkay, may utang pa kami sa kabaong 20k. Walang wala po talagang pera si kuya na maiwan nangdahil sa di inaasahan na pangyayari!!!!” she also said.

Meanwhile Leah said that Dongz’s Facebook page would still remain and all of its income would be spent to the children he left.
