MANILA, Philippines—Jam Sebastian of popular YouTube sensation Jamich who is battling stage 4 lung cancer was visited by comedian Vice Ganda on Saturday night.

In a video posted on her Facebook account, Paolinne Michelle Liggayu, Sebastian’s fiancee, said that the comedian made Sebastian smile “from his heart.”

“Sobrang iba ‘yung smile ni Jam ngayon. Makikita mong happy siya. Sobrang sayang makita na ganon yung pag-smile ni Jam alam mong totoo and from the heart,” Liggayu said.

(Jam’s smile today is very different. You could see that he’s happy. I’m so happy to see Jam’s smile, knowing that it’s true and from the heart.)

In a post on his Instagram account, Vice recounted why he visited Sebastian. He also asked the YouTube star to “keep the faith.”

Miracles happen everyday. God bless you!” Vice Ganda wrote in the caption of his picture with Sebastian.
