If you watched Eat Bulaga today, you must have caught Paolo Ballesteros taking on the ‘Walang Kukurap Challenge’ or the ‘No Blinking Challenge’.
Although the Guinness World Records do not have a world record set for the longest time without blinking, Record Setter claims that Michael Thomas from Florida has been able to keep his eyes open without blinking for 1 hour and 5.61 seconds. If you thought that was a long time, Paolo Ballesteros just proved that it is completely possible to keep a person’s eyes open for even longer by breaking said record with a whopping 1 hour, 17 minutes and 3 seconds of not blinking.
Eat Bulaga tweeted about the record that Paolo broke here:
1 hour 17 minutes and 3 seconds na hindi kumukurap!
