Manila, Philippines – Fans are deeply concerned and the industry is buzzing with alarm after a video of actor JM De Guzman crying uncontrollably surfaced online – and now, insiders are revealing the dark truth behind his emotional breakdown.

For years, JM has been admired not just for his talent, but for his vulnerability. From heartbreak to healing, from rehab to redemption, he’s shared his journey with courage.

But this time… it’s different.
And what’s really going on behind those tears? You won’t believe it.

The Viral Video That Broke the Internet

The heartbreaking clip, posted to a now-deleted Instagram story, showed JM De Guzman sitting alone in what looked like his bedroom – eyes swollen, face red, sobbing silently. No music. No filter. Just raw pain.

Fans immediately flooded the comments:

“JM, are you okay?”
“Please talk to someone, you’re not alone.”

While fans were left guessing, a close friend of JM spoke anonymously to our reporters.

“He’s been going through a LOT. Everyone thought he was okay, but the pressure has been building – mentally, emotionally, even professionally.”

According to the source, JM has been facing intense pressure from showbiz commitments, family expectations, and personal battles that never truly went away.

“He’s tried to be strong for everyone… but when you’re alone, that mask falls.”

JM de Guzman suffers panic attack during virtual event

JM de Guzman opened up on the mild panic attack he suffered while promoting for his upcoming TV series Init Sa Magdamag in a virtual event on Friday.

“I was having fun, then suddenly attacked,” JM revealed in an Instagram post on Friday night.

“My handler @starmagic_portia asked me how I was and I can’t type so I sent her this video,” continued JM as he shared a clip of himself growing uneasy with his hands shaking.

JM, who wanted to share his experience to spread awareness on the condition, said that it’s been more than a month since he last suffered a panic attack.

“Thank God it just passed quickly,” he said.

The Init sa Magdamag actor also left encouraging words for those who are struggling with panic attacks.

“If you have this, remember you’ll be ok. Stay positive,” he wrote.

American medical center Mayo Clinic described panic attack as “a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you’re losing control, having a heart attack or even dying.”

This is not the first time JM opened up about his condition. In August last year, he shared his way of coping with his panic disorder.

JM also previously shared how the pandemic helped him gain new methods to deal with his panic attacks.

“It was really hard for me because of my panic disorder and my ways to cope were limited because of COVID-19, but now I don’t see him as ugly because my coping skills seem to have increased,” he said in a Mental Health webinar by Pilipino Star Ngayon
“There’s a higher power and no matter what happens, don’t let us go because in the end we will see the reason why,” he also advised.
