On April 27, Kapuso artist Lianne Valentin recounted her accident on the set of Apoy sa Langit.
During the media conference for the afternoon series, Valentin detailed her experience cutting her finger in one scene with co-star Coleen Paz.
“There’s this scene that we we’er doing na sa apartment niya kunyari, so ‘yung scene nagkukwento–nagra-rant si Stella sa best friend niya si Patring, ang ginagawa namin sa eksena is nagpre-prepare kami ng lulutuin na pagkain. Tapos nagra-rant ako, about sa mga nangyayari kay Stella.
“Tapos there’s this time na we did another take na– tapos masyado ata akong nadala ng emosyon ko, so continuity na po ata ng scene, so kinuha ko sa kanya ‘yung hinihiwa niya na carrots, tapos sa sobrang nadala ako ng emosyon ko na-cut ko ‘yung hand ko.”
She then narrated how she pushed past the pain and continued taping the sequence for the series.
“Hindi ko pa naramdaman at first, siya ‘yung unang nakakita na dumudugo ‘yung finger ko, tapos doon ko lang na-realizze na dumudugo na pala siya. Tapos ang haba ng linyahan, and there are still reaction shots. So pinipigil ko na lang ‘yung sarili ko kahit sobrang sakit na.”
Thankfully, Valentin received a quick medical treatment right after completing her scene.
“After noong scene namin na ‘yun nagamot ‘yung finger ko pero ‘yung reaction niya sobrang laki. Pati ako napalaki na rin.”
Her scene partner Coleen Paz thanked the medics and staff on standby while taping the sequence.
“Buti na lang talaga sobrang lucky kami na ‘yung Apoy sa Langit, ready talaga ‘yung mga medic, ready talaga ‘yung everyone, as in everyone talaga are there for us.”
Valentin stars in the upcoming Kapuso teleserye Apoy sa Langit alongside Zoren Legaspi, Maricel Laxa, Mikee Quintos, Dave Bornea, Mariz Ricketts, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, Coleen Paz, Celine Fajardo, Patricia Ismael, and Mio Maranan.
