Afterward, the comedian said that the wife of Deramas’ driver texted, informing that the director’s sister could not breathe so she was rushed to the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City.

He said that Deramas ordered another driver to check the status of his sister who said that she was being revived.

“Direk has accepted that because his sister has undergone dialysis but because he really loves her, he cried hard. We tried to comfort him because he was about to collapse. We offered him to sit down. When he sat down, he told me he couldn’t breathe. And just like that, he was gone,” said the comedian.
