Gardo Versoza assured fans that he is very much alive after falling victim to a death hoax online.
The actor, in an Instagram post, laughed off the death hoax with a photo of him inside a casket sticking his head and tongue out.
“Pumanaw na raw sa balita,” Gardo wrote as caption alongside a slew of laughing emojis.
He later shared a TikTok video of him with his doctor while addressing his fans: “Buhay na buhay pa po ako cupcakes fake news yung pumanaw na mag (high) heels pa ako uli para sa inyo”.
The death hoax came weeks after Gardo suffered a heart attack last March and had to undergo angiolasty — a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries and reduce the amount of damage to the heart.
Gardo is set to have his second angioplasty after two months.
In a recent Instagram post, Gardo announced that he’s selling off his gym equipment to raise funds for his next heart procedure.
