Just few days ago, there were some rumors that Vicente Emano was already bedridden because he wasn't present in some political campaigns of his political party. But Sangguniang Panlalawigan Board Member Prexy Elipe answered the rumors that this was the old style of Dongkoy Emano of not joining the political rallies and campaigns.

“He's doing okay, I am happy to divulged nga he is in good shape, in fact kanang ilang giingon nga gasige panigarilyo, he’s lungs are clear, nagstop naman siya dugay na ug gwapo kaayo ang resulta sa iyang lungs, So I don’t know why gakataranta ang mga kaatbang,” according to Elipe in an interview. He also added “Natural mana ang health check-ups kinahanglan tan-awon. The more you aged in this world the more nga magpa check-up ka pirme para mahibaloan kon naa bay problema sa imong panglawas.” - source
