MANILA, Philippines — Veteran actor Eddie Garcia went into a coma on Saturday after an incident where he reportedly fell during a taping in Manila for his upcoming teleserye.
According to a Facebook post of Director Armand Reyes, the 90-year-old actor fell during a taping for an upcoming GMA teleserye.
“Natumba siya kaninang umaga sa taping ng bagong teleseryeng ginagawa sa GMA-7,” the director said in his Facebook post, which was a reposting of Dave Rojo’s another message asking for prayers for the recovery of the actor.
