In his Instagram post on Wednesday, July 24, he first shared that he's been stranded for five hours. The veteran actor can also be seen that he is just staying in his car.
Because he is stuck and just got off the taping, the veteran actor is still not eating. Michael also shared some videos as he encountered high flood and long traffic.
“Packed up at 2:30pm and have been stranded here for 5 hours. The roads are impassable due to waist-deep flooding, and my car has malfunctioned from the water I had to drive through earlier. It’s nighttime now, and I haven’t eaten. I guess we definitely shouldn’t have gone to work today,” he said.
In his latest Instagram post this Thursday, July 25, Michael is still stranded on the road. The veteran actor also became emotional after being stuck on the road for a long time.
“Stranded for 17 hours now coming from taping yesterday. Naiiyak na ako. The tow truck can’t get through, and my anxiety is kicking in. I just want to go home,” the veteran actor added.
As of this writing, there is no update yet on whether the veteran actor has returned home.
Meanwhile, typhoon 'Carina' has left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this Thursday morning, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
But even after it has left, the said storm will still strengthen the habagat that will bring moderate to heavy rains in some parts of Luzon.
In Metro Manila, moderate to heavy rains are still expected.
