Nakikisimpatiya ang broadcaster na si Bernadette Sembrano sa singer na si Frenchie Dy matapos itong atakehin sa ikatlong pagkakataon ng Bell's palsy.
Ayon sa medicalnewstoday, ang Bell's palsy ay "paralysis or severe weakness of the nerve that controls the facial muscles on the side of the face - the facial nerve or seventh cranial nerve."
Noong nakaraang February 3, 2025, ibinahagi ng singer sa publiko na muli siyang inatake ng Bell's palsy.
Saad ni Frenchie sa video na in-upload niya sa Facebook, "Third Bell's palsy attack, kakaloka.
"So, yesterday, habang nagla-lunch kami ni hubby, naramdaman ko na iba na yung panlasa ko. And sabi ko, 'Ba't ganito yung lasa, parang di masarap?'
"And then, mga after 1 o'clock, nung umiinom ako ng tubig, naramdaman ko na tumutulo na yung water.
"So, sabi ko, 'Shocks! Ito na, Bell's palsy na naman, pangatlong attack.'
"So, dumiretso agad ako sa hospital."

Kuwento ni Bernadette (published as is), "Whenever I hear about someone who has BELL’S PALSY, it brings me back to the time when I had it too.
"It was a mix of surrender—bahala na si God—because you can’t tell when or if babalik pa ang smile mo, and doing all that you can: therapy, acupuncture, facial exercises, and steroids.
"Ang hirap. But at the same time, you tap into GRATEFULNESS. Because for some reason—GRACE happens too."
Hindi raw mawari ni Bernadette ang sitwasyon ni Frenchie ngayong pangatlong atake na ang nangyari sa mang-aawit.
Ani Bernadette, "For Frenchie to go through this THREE TIMES—it’s hard to imagine. Akala mo tapos na… bakit naulit-ulit?
"But instead of being a helpless patient, Frenchie turned to social media to encourage people.
"And GRABE—ang GRASYA, bumalik din sa kanya. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Frenchie for sharing her story with me.
"GRATEFUL that I got to hug her too. GRATEFUL for the inspiration she gives to her followers on social media.
Nanawagan din si Bernadette ng dasal para kay Frenchie, "While she continues to shine brightly with Bells, let’s please keep praying for her complete recovery."
