Meanwhile, several netizens were angered by the production team handling Garcia, saying that they should consider the age of the veteran actor and avoid letting him do his work in uncomfortable places.
“The Directors/ Producers of the serye should have considered his age. Ang init ngayon tapos dyan ang location ng taping. Being a professional, hindi yan magrereklamo si Mr. Eddie Garcia. I hope he recovers” netizen @djusttiisleague said in his comment.
