Kapuso program Black Rider actress Rio Locsin went viral on social media after she was recorded struggling to breathe after a scene with actor Ruru Madrid.
In the said video, Rio was seen trying to be comforted by Ruru and later on, was escorted outside the set as she couldn’t stop crying.
The video reached thousands of reactions on social media and some critics of GMA Network even used the said opportunity to make several claims about the show.
“Sa video na kumakalat ngayon sa Tiktok, tila hirap na hirap huminga ang aktres pero wala ni isa man lang sa kanyang mga kasama ang agarang tinignan ang kanyang sitwasyon. Napag-alamang walang medic sa set para magbigay ng first aid sa aktres,” the page Chakapuso 2 wrote.
However, in an official statement, Rio said that there was a medic who assisted her after the scene.
“Nakakabigla nga, dahil parang hindi ko inaasahan ang mga lumalabas na balita. Hindi talaga ako iniiwan ni Ruru pagkatapos ng mabibigat naming eksena, inaalalayan n’ya ako hanggang sa makalma na ako. May mga medic kami sa set, may ambulance din,” she said.
“Kaya hindi totoo na walang medic na tumutulong, anytime, nandiyan lang sila,” she added.
Rio also denied that she had some health problems, which caused her breathing difficulties after the scene.
