Regala earned the sympathy of his colleagues and supporters last month after being spotted asking for help from strangers while he was suffering from nausea in Pasay City. The actor revealed during an interview that he is all alone and has not been in touch with his relatives since his mother passed away.

Some of his friends from the industry including Amoyo, actors Chuckie Dreyfus and Nadia Montenegro, began a fundraiser for Regala to help with his medical bills and other expenses.
