Ogie, nabilaukan, muntik nang matigok!

Manila, Philippines – Mabuti’t nailayo si Ogie Alcasid sa tiyak na kamatayan.

Ikinuwento ng singer-songwriter ang kanyang near-death experience sa panayam sa kanya ni Karmina Constantino sa podcast nitong KC After Hours.

Naganap daw ito nito lang December last year.

Kuwento ni Ogie, ika-15 wedding anniversary daw nila ‘yon ni Regine Velasquez which he wanted to make really special.

To be exact, December 22 nila ipinagdiriwang ‘yon.

It wasn’t exactly a grand celebration dahil kakakasal lang ng panganay na anak ni Ogie na si Leila.

Nagplano daw silang dalhin ang kanilang pamilya sa kanilang paborirong isla.

Since air fare plus accommodations was pricey, tumanggap si Ogie ng one-night concert bilang pandagdag sa gastos.

There were 50 of them.

After the concert, habang nakikipaghuntahan sa kanyang banda ay bigla daw siyang nabilaukan.

Nasanay daw kasi si Ogie na hindi nginunguya ang pagkain, so he choked on the food he was eating.

May ubo pa daw siya na lalong nagpagrabe: “So I actually lost consciousness!”

Buti na lang daw, naroon si Sarah, isang nurse–Ogie’s second child with Michelle van Eimereen.

“She saw me drop. She didn’t do Heimlich, but did something else,” ani Ogie na nagkamalay pagkatapos.

Ang Heimlich ay first aid method para sa mga nabibilaukan.

Ani Regine: “It was a few seconds but we could have lost him!”

Marami daw realizations ang napagtanto ni Ogie–isa na nga dito’y ang katotohanang life is short.

“And going away with eating chicken is not…is not ideal. It’s not a good way to go,” aniya.
