Comedian-host Bayani Agbayani shared his family’s safety precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic and hinted at taking meds that start with the letter I.
In his interview for his launch under Viva Artist Agency, Agbayani shared how his family combats COVID-19. One of the steps he shared was spraying groceries with alcohol and disinfectants.
“Nung unang putok ng COVID news, na may COVID-19 Virus, kami dalawang mag-asawa hindi namin alam kung papaano mamamalengke. Kasi si Lenlen hands on eh. So ako nagmamaneho, tapos bababa si Lenlen akala mo robot dahil naka-PPE, balot na balot, tapos pagdating nung mga pinamili nya, iniisprayan namin kasi papasok ng auto eh. Pagdating sa bahay, iisprayan nanaman ng alcohol na may chlorox pero nasa plastic. Tapos 10 minutes sya doon bago ipasok.”
He also said that they have daily exercises and regular vitamin intake to boost their immune system.
“Everyday nagee-exercise kaming buong pamilya dito sa subdivision, nagwa-walking kami, may mga gamit kami dito, nagdu-dumb bells lahat. Talagang puro exercise, tapos vitamins. Tapos hindi talaga mawawala yung prayers talaga. Tapos talagang hindi kami lumalabas.”
He also stressed that their best means of combating the COVID-19 virus are face masks, face shields, and social distancing.
“Kung lumabas man kami, siguro pupunta sa isang lugar, kami lang ni Lenlen ang bababa para makapasyal lang yung mga bata, nasa sasakyan lang sila. At ang pinakamahalaga talaga eh yung, face mask, face shield, at tsaka yung social distancing.”
Agbayani also hinted at taking unnamed meds, which seems effective as he has not tested positive for the virus.
“Kaya yung routine ng buhay ko, na pagka-gising, maaga natutulog, pagkagising, magpapa-araw. Tapos walking sa hapon, steam sa bago matulog, vitamins. Tapos hindi ko alam yun yung isa pang gamot na iniinom ko, hindi ko na pwedeng sabihin baka makulong ako. Pero effective sya talaga. Sobrang effective sya. Yung isang gamot na yun.”
When the host had to answer a question–if the said medicine started with Letter “I,” he declined to answer.
Despite not naming said medicine, one can speculate the drug Agbayani takes might be Ivermectin. Although FDA gave a compassionate permit for the use of the said medication to some hospitals, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advised the public against the purchase and use of Ivermectin veterinary products against COVID-19.
