Eddie Gutierrez talks about Ruffa-Yilmaz reconciliation


Eddie Gutierrez implied he doesn't harbor any ill-feelings towards erstwhile son-in-law, Yilmaz Bektas. This is despite all the bitter words the Turkish businessman publicly uttered against his daughter and the entire Gutierrez family six months ago. "Syempre as a father gusto mo maging masaya ang pamilya mo t'saka masaya yung mga apo ko ‘pag nakikita nila yung father nila. So far wala pa, hindi pa kami nag-uusap...Oo, siguro in the future...Eventually, in the future kung magkabalikan sila ni Ruffa s'yempre magkakaayos din lahat," the former matinee idol said in a taped Showbiz Central interview aired on August 19. Aside from sharing his thoughts regarding the Ruffa-Yilmaz reconciliation, Eddie's interview also tackled the unfortunate accident that befell him during the shooting of GMA-7's sinenovela, Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso. Eddie was shooting a scene with co-star JC de Vera when the accident took place. "Hindi kasi namin na-rehearse yung eksenang yun, e. Tinalian ako ni JC de Vera. Pagkatali sa kamay ko, yung lubid tinuloy sa paa, so tinalian din yung paa ko hindi ako makagalaw. "Nakasakay ako sa kotse, pagkatapos, e, baba si JC. Iikot siya, 'tapos may hawak siyang baril sa kanan tapos sasabihin niya sa akin baba. E, dalawang hakbang na 'ko, nung pangatlong hakbang ko, na-off balance ako," Eddie vividly recalled. As a result, Eddie fell on the rocky ground and suffered a broken nose. "Bumagsak na ngayon ako. Humampas ngayon yung ulo ko sa lupa. Buti yung lupang yun, yung ibang parts ng lupa may bato-bato pero yung binagsakan ng mukha ko walang bato, kaya swerte pa rin ako na ganito lang ang nangyari sa akin. Pagbagsak ko na ganun, pagharap ko dumudugo na yung ilong ko," the Gutierrez patriarch narrated. Eddie was immediately brought to a nearby hospital in Antipolo. Problem is, the hospital staff couldn't establish right away the severity of the injury. This prompted him, thanks mainly to the incessant prodding of wife, Annabelle Rama, to visit another hospital for another check-up. "The next morning nag-decide kami...Si Annabel, pinilit akong dalhin sa Cardinal Santos," he said. The X-ray done on Eddie revealed a chip on his nose bridge. According to him, "In-X-ray uli ako, na-find out nila na may konting chip sa bridge ng nose ko. Merong konting-konti lang daw." Despite the unfortunate incident, Eddie still felt lucky because he only sustained a minor injury. "Hindi na raw kailangan operahan o hindi na raw kailangan lagyan ng metal plate," Eddie said with a sigh of relief. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
