Actor Gardo Versoza was rushed to the hospital after he suffered from a heart attack on Thursday, March 30.

Television host Boy Abunda confirmed the news about Versoza and gave an update on the condition of the actor in his afternoon program "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda" on GMA Network on March 30.

"Nag-umpisa po ito sabi ni Ivy Vicencio, ang kanyang asawa, nanakit ang likod ni Gardo, at noong una ay ayaw pa magpadala sa ospital dahil meron siyang taping kinabukasan," said Abunda.

"Pero napilit din at dinala siya sa Cardinal Santos Medical Center kung saan nalaman ng mga doctor na dalawang ugat po sa puso ay barado. Dahil dito sumailalim siya sa angioplasty," Abunda said.

According to the Mayo Clinic in the US, coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries.

Abunda also said that Versoza had been warned to take it easy on physical activities because of the pain in his body.

"Two weeks ago nag bisikleta mula Pasig hanggang Tarlac. Nine hours.

"A month ago naman, nagbisikleta ito mula Maynila hanggang Laguna.

"Sabi ng mga doctor, maaaring ito ang cause ng heart attack ni Gardo Versoza.

"Kami ay nagdarasal sa paggaling ni Gardo," Abunda said.

Later, in an Instagram post, Versoza thanked those who prayed for his speedy recovery.

"Thanks for everything, shugs. I love you. Thank you LORD. Thank you, doctors. #heartattack," the actor wrote.

Fans and friends of the couple prayed for his complete healing. Some comments:

"Cupcakeeeee speedy recovery, we love you."

"Praying for your quick recovery, kuya."

"Get well soon, cupcake! Praying for your healing."

"Get well soon, brother!"
