Comedian Allan Padua, popularly known as Mura, expressed hopelessness after the two-story home he built from his years in show business was destroyed due to a fire accident.
Padua was sobbing as he faced the camera for an interview on “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” as seen in an episode aired on Sunday, May 5.
He narrated how the fire apparently started after his father, who is living with him, smoked bees out in one of the rooms. Despite this, Padua said he is not blaming anyone because it was only an accident.
The two of them spent the night at a waiting shed after the incident, then moved to a relative’s house where they currently stay.
“Ang tagal mong nagtrabaho, pinaghirapan mo rin ito, [tapos] hindi mo alam na ganito lang din mangyayari ulit,” Padua lamented. “Kasi pangtatlo na naming sunog ito e. Nakakalungkot lang kasi bigla na lang siyang nawala.”
Padua, who is also limping as a result of a vehicular accident in 2010, admitted that he has questioned his fate after a series of unfortunate incidents in his life, saying he is clueless about how he would be able to start again.
The news program extended financial assistance to the former actor, alongside comedians Ai-Ai delas Alas, Pokwang, Jayson Gainza, Empoy Marquez, and Katipunan ng mga Artistang Pilipino sa Pelikula at Telebisyon President Imelda Papin who also sent encouraging messages for Padua.
Mura is best known for starring in several films including “D’ Anothers,” “Agent X44,” “Volta” and “Kimmy Dora.”
