Image: Instagram/@manuelmasalva Netflix star Manuel Masalva is now in an improved condition after he was put in a medically-induced coma due to a “bacterial infection,” following his vacation in the Philippines, his fellow actor and friend Mario Moran said. Moran made the announcement on Instagram as he called for financial support to defray Masalva’s medical expenses.
He also asked for prayers for his “soul brother’s” “complicated but stable” condition to improve. “For those who ask about Manuel..
. His situation is still complicated but stable, showing improvements day by day, but it will be a long process, so let’s continue praying for his health. Patience.
Thank you,” he wrote in Spanish. “His condition remains delicate. The bacteria that affected him has been identified, and he is receiving the appropriate treatment.
Now we just have to wait and trust that in the coming days or weeks he will start to get better,” he said in another post.

Following the emergency, Masalva’s family launched a fundraiser for the medical expenses, and has earned over MXN1.
