Kim Atienza, more popularly known as Kuya Kim, revealed in an Instagram post his current battle with a rare disease.
In line with “Rare Disease Day”, Kuya Kim told his followers that he was diagnosed with a “rare but serious” autoimmune disorder called Guillan-Barre Syndrome.
Despite this, Kuya Kim said that he feels better now and extended his gratitude toward his doctors who took care of him during his treatment.
Kuya Kim posted the update to help create awareness on rare diseases. He said that unlike him, some people, especially children, are not able to recover from their illnesses.
Many of Kuya Kim’s supporters were surprised after learning about his condition.
The host known for the catchphrase “weather weather lang”, suddenly left the noontime show It’s Showtime, giving televiewers no clear reason why.
Currently, Kuya Kim still serves as the resident weather anchor of TV Patrol in ABS-CBN Channel 2.
