Coco Martin recuperating from wounds



Actor Coco Martin gets hurt while shooting an action scene for "Tayong Dalawa.

MANILA – Coco Martin is in good condition and now taking a rest following an accident in the “Tayong Dalawa” set.

In his statement sent to “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon,” the young actor said he is taking antibiotics every six hours. His doctor also gave him medicine for his wounds.

“Medyo okay na naman po ako. Mahapdi lang iyong mga sugat ko sa mukha at malabo pa iyong paningin ko sa kaliwang mata,” he said.

Early Tuesday, tension gripped the set of “Tayong Dalawa” when Martin, one of the cast of the hit television series, was hurt while shooting an action scene.

Martin, who plays the young thug, Ramon, was shooting a “firing” scene when the accident occurred.

A behind-the-scene footage showed Martin shooting at his enemies. A blank round had been fired back but the smoke powder inadvertently hit his eyes. The footage showed the actor dropping to the floor as he writhed in pain.

One of the crew could be heard asking for water apparently to douse his eyes with it.

The crew and co-actors Jake Cuenca and Gerald Anderson rushed Martin to the University of Santo Tomas Hospital where he underwent a series of medical tests. He was later discharged from the hospital.

Two "Tayong Dalawa" crew rush to aid Coco Martin.

Martin said: “Magpapagaling ako agad nang makapag-trabaho ng muli. Salamat sa lahat ng tumawag, nag-text at nagdasal. Salamat sa ‘Tayong Dalawa’ cast at staff; at sa lahat ng taga-UST Hospital at sa pamilya ko sa Star Magic at sa management ng ABS-CBN.”

Meanwhile, a concerned Maja Salvador said she called the young actor when she heard the accident.

“Check-up niya ngayon. Mamaya po malalaman ang resulta kung makakapag-taping ba siya o hindi. Siyempre, titignan natin kung kakayanin ba ng artistang mag-trabaho," she said.

Martin is Salvador's leading man in their upcoming television show "Nagsimula Sa Puso." -SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon. With a report from Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com

Coco Martin is slowly recovering after his accident


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.
