This is the hilarious moment a partygoer hit himself in the face in a hilarious baton-twirling fail in the Philippines.

Jessie Sagum was attending a birthday party in Manila City's Tondo district on July 17, and decided to put on a show to enliven the festivities.

He was filmed deftly twirling a wooden stick and wowing onlookers with backbends and dancing during the flashy routine.

However, his performance ended abruptly when he accidentally detached a window's steel railings which he was using to steady herself. The piece of metal smacked Jessie in the face, with the unexpected blunder leaving onlookers breathless with laughter.

Jessie's cousin Gwen Del Pilar said: 'We fixed the railing right after, but the entire incident was so funny.'
