MANILA, Philippines – Veteran actress Pilar Pilapil is now recuperating from the multiple stab wounds she sustained in an alleged carjacking incident in Marikina City last April 14.

A source of abs-cbnNEWS.com was quoted as saying, "Okay na siya (Pilapil) ngayon. Nagtamo siya ng seven stab wounds yata 'yon, pero okay na siya.”

Initial reports stated that Pilapil, along with a companion identified as Rosel Rosalem, were on board a Kia vehicle and treading along Marikina Riverbanks when two unknown armed men supposedly abducted them at around 9:30 p.m. Thursday, as reported on April 15 by DZMM’s Rod Izon via ANC.

In another report by GMA News TV also on Friday, the suspects are said to have been aboard a motorcycle.

The abs-cbnNEWS.com source, meanwhile, said that the armed men “stopped” and “commandeered” the vehicle that was being driven by Rosalem.

The 60-year-old former beauty queen was found covered in blood along Pedra Blanca in Barangay San Luis in Antipolo City at around 11:30 p.m., according to PO3 Rodel Druha of the Antipolo PNP (Philippine National Police) as reported on ANC. Apparently, she managed to seek help despite her stab wounds.

Pilapil was initially rushed to the Antipolo District Hospital, after which she was transferred to the Medical City in Pasig City, where the actress is currently recovering.

The Marikina PNP is also carrying out a follow-up operation and investigation on the incident.

Rosalem, as well as the vehicle, remain missing as of this writing.
