Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) chairperson Liza Diño-Seguerra revealed that veteran action star John Regala is doing “ok.”

Recently, John made headlines anew after being spotted in Pasay City where he was begging for help.

“I am happy to share that Kuya John is ok,” Liza wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

“He requires medical assistance, and Doc Poch, our ever-reliable doctor from Volunteer Corps PH was there to give him a check-up and assess his medical condition.

“Arrangements were made to address his immediate needs, which includes regular visits by the doctor to provide him with IV fluids to keep him hydrated and nourished since his liver problem makes him lose his appetite.

“There was an outpour of support coming from fellow actors in the industry to make sure he is well taken care of.”

Liza added that the veteran action star is now in the custody of Iglesia ni Cristo in Quezon City, where he is being taken care of.

“Since 2015, [John Regala] has been under the care of Iglesia ni Cristo where he is a member and up to now, they have been looking after his well-being,” she added.

Liza paid a visit to John with actress Nadia Montenegro and showbiz columnist and talent manager Aster A. Amoyo.
