While doing the pedal exercise, Gab raised his arms and moved his fingers as if he was shifting gears and hitting the brakes.&quot;</p><p class="p2">&quot;We visited Gab in the hospital a few days ago. I was with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ebedancel/"><span class="s2">@ebedancel</span></a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/khaladkharen/"><span class="s2">@khaladkharen</span></a> . It was such a great scene seeing him quickly recover after more than a month of being in the ICU. Gab is doing well — he can now speak, eat solid food and even play the guitar. However he needs more time for recovery and rehabilitation to restore his mobility,&quot; they added. </p><p class="p2">&quot;During our conversation, Gab mentioned his gratitude to everyone who helped and those who are continuously helping. The cycling community has been very active in helping Gab — from raising funds through bike raffles, events, t-shirts and merch to giving moral boost to Gab and his support team,&quot; they continued. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSIwURPrUw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=511&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A3222592%2C%22ls%22%3A152422%2C%22le%22%3A152424.59999999404%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="844" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div class="p2"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/22/parokya-ni-edgar-guitarist-gab-chee-kee-now-out-of-the-icu-223" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><span class="s1"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/22/parokya-ni-edgar-guitarist-gab-chee-kee-now-out-of-the-icu-223" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Parokya ni Edgar guitarist Gab Chee Kee now out of the ICU</u></strong></a></span></div><p class="p2">On March 4, Chito Miranda paid a visit to his longtime friend on his way to a gig that same night. </p><p class="p1">He wrote: “Binisita namin si Gab kanina bago kami tumuloy sa gig namin sa QC.
