Coco Martin

Actor Coco Martin is now feeling better after suffering an injury during the taping of the teleserye Tayong Dalawa last September 15. Coco was rushed to the University of Sto. Tomas hospital after suffering minor burns on the left side of his face and his eye when an action scene he was doing for the teleserye got out of hand. He was later sent home after receiving treatment. According to ABS-CBN News, Coco went to an eye surgeon during the morning of September 16 to have his eye checked. The actor also consulted a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon about the burns on his face.

Coco was in the middle of doing a gunfight scene for Tayong Dalawa when a special effect meant to simulate a bullet hit on his left arm got too close on his left eye. Powder got onto his face and into his eye, causing the actor to immediately fall to the floor in pain. The crew and co-star Jake Cuenca rushed to his aid and brought him to the hospital. After receiving treatment and undergoing some tests, Coco was advised to go home to rest and recover.

The young actor sent a text message to ABS-CBN News expressing his thanks to everyone who prayed for his recovery. Coco also said that he will try his best to get back to work as soon as possible, especially since Tayong Dalawa is set to end on September 25. The actor is also taping for a new teleserye with Maja Salvador entitled Nagsimula sa Puso.
