Mexican actor Manuel Masalva, known for his roles in series such as Narcos: Mexico and El secreto de la familia Greco, is currently facing a critical health situation.
Now 43, Masalva contracted an unknown bacteria during an international trip, which has led to her hospitalization abroad; her latest post suggests it may have happened in the Philippines.
Manuel Masalva is in serious condition
His condition has been reported as serious, and his family has launched a fundraising campaign to cover the high medical costs.
The campaign, launched on the GoFundMe platform, aims to raise one million Mexican pesos (approximately US$50,000) to cover hospital expenses and necessary treatments.
Masalva’s family has expressed concern about the lack of specific details about the bacteria and the treatment required, which further complicates the situation.
Actor’s friends ask for support
Carolina Miranda, actress and ex-partner of Masalva, has publicly expressed her distress over the actor’s condition.
Through his social networks, Miranda asked for support and solidarity to contribute to fundraising, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate assistance.
Fernanda Castillo, who worked with the Mexican actor, said in a video on social networks: “I am making this video because I just found out that Manuel Masalva, who is a committed actor, an incredible guy, wonderful as an artist and as a person, contracted a bacteria on a trip outside Mexico, abroad, and is in a very critical health situation and his family and friends made a GoFundMe to help with the expenses, which are being disproportionate, to save his life because he is in a very serious situation”.
And he continued: “I leave here the link in case anyone wants to help, in case anyone else knows Manuel and wants to be part of this effort to help him and to comfort him in this difficult moment”.
Manuel Masalva has built a solid career in acting.
He is a graduate of the Centro de Educación Artística de Televisa and the Facultad de Música de la Universidad Autónoma de Tampico.
The artistic community is dismayed
His role as Ramón Arellano Félix in Narcos: México brought him international recognition, and he has participated in other productions such as La Guzmán, where he played Luis Enrique Guzmán.
The artistic community and Masalva’s followers have shown their support through messages on social networks and contributions to the fundraising campaign.
This situation highlights the importance of solidarity in critical moments and the relevance of having adequate medical insurance, especially for those traveling abroad.
GoFundMe

His trip to the Philippines
