Working from home presents its own challenges, like being a parent with children getting underfoot while you’re trying to get some work done.
DZMM reporter Johnson Manabat had to go off script when his son walked into the scene while he was doing a live news report with Ted Failon on Monday, April 13.
He was talking about the 65 patients who recovered from COVID-19 and have been screened with 21 being qualified to be blood donors. Furthermore, the UP PGH is appealing to other COVID-19 survivors to participate in blood donation. The blood collected will be used for convalescent plasma therapy to help other COVID-19 patients. His son popped into the frame and said hello just as he finished his report.
DJ Chacha shared the hilarious clip on Twitter which earned reactions from Twitter users.
“BBC Moment ni @JohnsonManabat kanina sa DZMM. Buti na lang hindi pa naglalakad si Lexi #WorkFromHome,” Chacha wrote.

The “BBC moment” referred to the experience of Robert Kelly, an associate professor of political science at Pusan National University in South Korea, who became a viral star in 2017 when his two children barged into a live interview he had with the BBC.
In March of 2017, the professor was having a virtual live-interview in his home office about the ouster of South Korean President Park Geun-hye when his daughter, Marion, who was four years old at that time, confidently entered his room.
Nine-month-old baby brother James also rolled in behind her before Kim Jung-A, the wife of Kelly, scrambled to lead the children out of the room. Kelly apologized for what happened, but he still remained composed all throughout. Because of this, he earned the monicker “BBC Dad.”
