MANILA, Philippines - Drama princess Andi Eigenmann has gone back to work.

Eigenmann, who plays a soldier in "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin," resumed shooting for the hit television series although she has not fully recovered from the injury she sustained during last week’s taping.

The young actress was hit by a blank bullet while taping an action scene on Friday after co-star Martin del Rosario accidentally pulled the trigger of his firearm.

Speaking to "Showbiz News Ngayon," Eigenmann said she is ready to do some hard-hitting action scenes.

"Medyo mahirap at mahapdi pero okay naman na po ako compared to Friday when it happened. Hindi talaga ako makagalaw pero ngayon okay na ako," she said.

The 20-year-old actress divulged that her mother, veteran actress Jaclyn Jose, was emotional after learning about her daughter’s accident.

“Naiyak mommy ko kasi siyempre natakot siya kung anong puwedeng mangyari pero ‘yon okay naman ako. So, okay lang din siya, basta mag-ingat na lang,” said Eigenmann.

But she said her mom was not making a big fuss out of it because she knew that it was just an accident.

“My mom was very calm about it kasi siyempre di ba you'd understand. We're doing action series… ang aksidente, here and there, imposible naman talagang hindi mangyari. Parang hindi mo naman yata maiiwasan ‘yon,” she said.

"Ang gulo-gulo ko kasi. Feel na feel ko nag-aaction ako tapos biglang, ayan tuloy. Siyempre po mag-iingat na ako ngayon, 'di ko na iisipin ‘yong sarili kong ginagawa basta kailangan maging aware ako, alert ako sa surroundings," she ended.
