MANILA — Senator Bong Revilla is set to undergo an operation after sustaining an injury while filming a new movie project.
“My Achilles tendon has a partial tear, so it requires surgery,” Revilla announced during his Facebook live session.
The senator mentioned that the incident occurred during the first day of taping for “Alyas Pogi,” alongside actors Ara Mina and Epi Quizon.
“Sometimes, unforeseen events happen, and it’s inevitable. What’s important is to pray that it’s not too serious… 50 percent of my Achilles heel tore due to the strain from running,” shared the actor.
Following the operation, Revilla stated that the expected healing period would be three to five months.
“It’s frustrating. It’s somewhat sad news, but I am okay. We’ll have more updates by tomorrow,” he added.
