MANILA, Philippines — Veteran actor Eddie Garcia went into a coma on Saturday after reportedly collapsing during a taping in Manila for his upcoming GMA teleserye.

“Natumba siya kaninang umaga sa taping ng bagong teleseryeng ginagawa sa GMA-7,” director Armand Reyes said in his Facebook post, which was a reposting of another message from Dave Rojo asking for prayers for the recovery of the 90-year-old actor.

He added that Garcia went into a coma at the Mary Johnston Hospital in Tondo, Manila.
