In an earlier post on Facebook, the UniMAC-GIJ lecturer extended his heartfelt gratitude to all who supported him when he came out to seek help.

"I want to use this opportunity to inform my loved ones and sponsors who supported me with funds, guidance, and prayers to undergo a kidney transplant surgery in India. I returned to the country three months ago and am now out of isolation."
"The graft is functioning well, and my health has bounced back for the better. May God bless you and replenish all that you may have lost. To my students, see you soon," he added.

However, he later took down the Facebook post for reasons best known to him.
