Running Man Philippines


Sparkle leading man Ruru Madrid is taking all the extra precaution before they fly out to South Korea by improving his fitness, after suffering a foot fracture last March.

Kapuso hottie Ruru Madrid is determined to make most of his time in South Korea for their shoot for the biggest reality-game show Running Man Philippines.

Still, Ruru is taking the necessary precaution by spending a lot of time working out and going to therapy to prepare his body for all the games and missions that they will do.

Last March, it was reported that the Kapuso actor suffered a foot fracture during the taping of his adventure series Lolong.

In a web exclusive video of Running Man Philippines, he talked about his meticulous preparation before they travel to Korea.

He said, “Well siyempre ako po, I just came from injury. So kailangan ko po na talagang i-strengthen 'yung ankles ko, lalo na puro takbuhan 'to. May mga challenges na talagang mapapasubok talaga tayo.”

“Ngayon, nagte-therapy pa rin ako, para at least maging matibay na po 'yung ankles ko. At the same time, nagwo-workout ako almost every day,” he added. “Kailangan ko maging competitive dito, for the first time sa buhay ko.”

Ruru then talked about his friendship with his good friend Buboy Villar, who is also a cast member of Running Man Philippines.

Since they will be competing against each other in the show, the actor-model admitted that their relationship will be tested, too.

“Hindi kumpare ko si Buboy, pero, walang kumpare-kumpare 'di ba.” Ruru noted. “Dito kailangan namin maglaban, so masusubok ang aming samahan, ang aming pagkakaibigan.”
