"Running Man Philippines" Season 2 was confirmed earlier this month, but OG runner Ruru Madrid recently announced that he will miss the season. Ruru reassured that he would still be part of the show through a special role.

In a previous episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” Ruru's fellow runners took guesses on who would be the seventh runner for the new season.

Mikael guessed that it could be his wife, Megan Young, while Lexi said it could be Andre Paras. Buboy said it could be Miguel Tanfelix, and the reason for his guess was just his "vibe."

For Glaiza, she guessed that it could be Rocco Nacino. Kokoy said he had no idea, but his wild guess would be Albert "Betong" Sumaya Jr. As for Angel, she joked that it could be Tito Boy himself.

"Running Man Philippines" is the local adaptation of the longest-running South Korean reality game show, "Running Man." It is a co-production between GMA Network and SBS Korea.
