Bong Revilla Injures Eye While Filming “Walang Matigas Na Pulis”
BONG REVILLA – Actor-politician Bong Revilla injured his eye while filming “Walang Matigas Na Pulis”, the 57-year-old actor told his fans in Quezon City on Friday (January 26).
Senator Bong Revilla accidentally got hit by a bullet in the eye during a scene in Season 2 of “Walang Matigas Na Pulis Sa Matinik Na Misis.” This was narrated by Ejay Falcon during a media conference for the GMA-7 action-comedy series held at a hotel in Quezon City last Friday afternoon, January 26, 2024.
Ejay shared Bong’s experience, expressing admiration for the professionalism displayed by the lead star who returned to the set of their sitcom after having his eye checked following an unintended gunshot incident while filming a scene with Beauty Gonzalez.
Ejay recounted, “Si Senator Bong talaga yung isa sa mga pangarap kong makatrabaho. Kasi, gaya nang sinabi niya po, ginawa ko yung Dugong Buhay before, launching movie niya yon.”
Bong was launched as an action star through the film “Dugong Buhay” by Viva Films in 1983.
Ejay starred in the TV remake of Dugong Buhay that aired on ABS-CBN in 2013.
Continuing the former Kapamilya star, “So ako, naging peg ko rin bilang ako bagong artista, isa sa mga naging peg ko na action star ay si Senator Bong.
“At nung nakatrabaho ko siya, nabigyan ako ng chance na makapagtrabaho, thank you po GMA-7 sa pagkakataon na nakatrabaho ko siya.”
After this, Ejay Falcon told the story of the accident that caused Bong’s eye to bleed.
“Mas nakilala ko po siya. Ina-idolize ko siya bilang isang artista o public servant.
“But nung nakatrabaho ko po siya, natatandaan ko yon sa Taytay, may shooting kami, may konting aksidenteng nangyari sa kanya.
“Pero akala ko mapa-pack up ang taping. Sabi ko, mukhang hindi na babalik si Sen kasi tumakbo sa ospital.
“And then, maya-maya, biglang magsu-shoot si Sen.
“So, bilang isang artista or action star, ina-idolize ko yung tao na nakatrabaho mo, nakita mo tapos nakilala mo.”
When Bong was asked about what Ejay narrated, he detailedly shared the incident.
The actor-politician narrated, “May scene na inagawan ko siya [Beauty] ng baril. Hindi niya alam, nakuha ko yung baril niya tapos ako yung nakipagbarilan.
“Supposed to be hindi na ako pulis so naagaw ko yung baril niya. Nang bumaril ako, kinuha niya sa akin yung baril.
“Accidentally, tinamaan yung mata ko.
“Sa totoo lang, akala ko nabulag ako, pero pina-check ko, nagpunta talaga ako sa ospital.
“But I’m okay at bumalik ako sa set siyempre para mawala yung takot ni Beauty, at saka lalaki ang cost ng GMA kung ipa-pack up ko yung shooting.”
While Bong was speaking, Beauty was listening, visibly fidgety and deeply concerned, recalling the accident that happened just before Christmas last year.
But Bong said, “Sa akin naman, yung mga ganoong aksidente, that’s normal. Natural lang yon.
“Hindi naman gusto ni Beauty na tamaan yung mata ko.
“Actually, dito sa project na to, ilang beses tinamaan na ako. Napilay nga ako. In fact, hanggang ngayon nagte-therapy ako sa paa ko.
“Kasama yon sa… kapag gumagawa ka ng aksyon, natural na may aksidente na ganoon. Minor accident.
“Yun ang gusto ko rin ituro sa mga kapwa natin artista. Yung mga minor na ganoon, gasgas, kasama yan. That’s part of it.
“May mga aksidenteng hindi natin maiiwasan pero hangga’t ma-avoid, avoid it.”
