The live news featured anchor Alegre, who was reporting from San Juan City. But, when Clavio asked him a question, the former did not respond and was caught walking-out.

Bam reported about San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora’s condition, who tested positive for COVID-19. He already ended his report when Arnold asked a question. It was not his intention to walk out.

But the good thing is–Clavio didn’t get irritated by the blooper; he reacted to it positively instead.
