I have what is called cellulitis on my left leg,&quot; he revealed. &quot;There was a slight opening somewhere, we don&#x27;t know where— but bacteria got in and the rest is history.&quot; </p><p>&quot;It swelled my leg up and they had to conduct so many tests. There is another test later,&quot; Valenciano said during the press conference held for his upcoming podcast &quot;Unshaken with Gary V: Stories of Grit and Grace.&quot;</p><p>While still needing further tests and treatment, Valenciano tries to ease back into his normal activities, including shooting for the podcast which seeks to engage with notable figures from diverse industries in &quot;honest, soul-searching conversations about their &#x27;shaking seasons.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>For the project, Manila Genesis links up with iHeartRadio&#x27;s Heart Radio Podcasts banner in collaboration with Mammoth Media, iHeart&#x27;s joint venture partner across Asia.</p><p>&quot;Gary is someone who has multi-generational impact in the Philippines. He is an absolute rarity. He is a trusted voice.
