‘Black Rider’ lead star Ruru Madrid has debunked claims regarding the purported absence of medical assistance on the show’s set, particularly during a scene involving veteran actress Rio Locsin.
Madrid took to his Facebook page to share a repost of a tabloid’s post, where he provided clarification on the matter.
He emphasized that the reports suggesting Rio Locsin’s struggle to breathe during filming were untrue.
“Hindi po totoo na nahirapan huminga si Tita Rio sa set ng Black Rider… Meron po kaming eksenang ginawa, kung saan nahirapan si Tita Rio na i cut ang emotions nya after mag cut ng aming Director. Kaya kung mapapansin niyo po yung video kino comfort po sya ng lahat,” Madrid stated in his post.
He further explained that the video circulating online showed the cast and crew comforting Locsin during the challenging scene, indicating that proper care and support were provided on set.
Moreover, Madrid addressed concerns about the alleged absence of medical personnel, asserting that such claims were unfounded. He highlighted the importance of having medical professionals on standby during filming to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
“Hindi din po totoo na walang medic sa set ng mga GMA Shows dahil hindi po natin masasabi kung ano ang pwedeng mangyari sa isang set ng programa at dapat po tayong handa doon,” Madrid clarified.
Concluding his statement with gratitude, Madrid thanked everyone for their concern and reiterated the importance of maintaining a safe working environment on television sets.
The allegations emerged following reports suggesting that Rio Locsin experienced breathing difficulties due to the intensity of a scene in ‘Black Rider,’ a series led by Ruru Madrid.
Claims also surfaced regarding the supposed lack of medical assistance available during the incident.
