Arnold Clavio survives hemorrhagic stroke: ‘I experienced Lord’s miracle’
Seasoned broadcaster Arnold Clavio experienced a health scare recently after he suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke due to “slight bleeding” in the left part of his brain.
The newscaster took to Instagram to share a video showing his stay at the hospital, saying that what he thought was a simple day became a “life changer” as he dealt with a health situation.
“June 11, 2024, 7:10 p.m., a life changer,” read the note on his video. “Isang regular na araw. Pauwi na ako galing Eastridge Golf Course. Habang nasa biyahe, nakaramdam ako ng matinding pamamanhid sa kanang braso at binti. Di ko na rin maramdaman ang pag-apak sa pedal ng gas at brake.”
Clavio said that at that moment, he struggled with the difficulty of walking properly and had to check himself for any signs of stroke.
“Huminto ako sa isang gasoline station para i-check ang sarili ko. Papunta ng restroom, hindi na ako makalakad. Kailangan ko na may mahawakan. Agad kong tiningnan ang sarili ko sa salamin kung tabingi ba ang mukha ko o maga ang mata ko. Wala naman, kaya balik na ako sa sasakyan,” he further shared.
The Kapuso journalist shared that he drove to the emergency room of Fatima University Medical Center, and as the hospital staff assessed him, his blood pressure (BP) was 220/120 and his blood sugar reached 270.

The “Unang Hirit” host went through a series of tests and found out that he was suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke. He was immediately transferred to St. Luke’s Hospital for further observation.
“Inirekomenda na isailalim ako sa CT scan. Doon nakita na may’slight bleeding’ ako sa kaliwang bahagi ng aking utak. At sa oras na yon, ako ay nagkaroon na ng ‘HEMORRHAGIC STROKE’!” he revealed.
“Inilipat ako sa St. Luke’s Hospital para ma-obserbahan pa. Agad akong inasikaso sa ER ng kanilang brain attack team at dinala sa Acute Stroke Unit ng ospital para ganap na bantayan ang aking BP at sugar,” added the anchor.
Clavio asserted that what he learned from that scary experience is that “feeling good does not mean good,” as he thanked the Lord for a miracle.
“ARAL: Feeling okay does not mean you’re okay. Feeling good does not mean we’re good. Listen to your body. Traydor ang hypertension! Always check your BP. Thank you, Lord. I personally experienced your miracle,” expressed the newscaster.
In the comments section of his post, fellow celebrities including Gardo Versoza, Richard Yap and Allan K sent their well wishes to Clavio.
