Kapuso star Mark Herras opened up about facing personal challenges in his life.
This comes amid rumors of his recent performances at Apollo World Class Male Entertainment & KTV Bar, a popular gay bar in Manila.
The actor, who has not directly addressed the reports, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message dedicated to his 4-year-old son, Corky, whom he shares with his wife, Nicole Donesa.
In the post, Mark expressed gratitude for his son, saying the child helps him cope with life’s hardships.
“Yo, our little man! Haay, 4 years old already, my baby boy! All I can say is thank you kasi kahit laging may problema, pagsubok, at kung ano-anong negativity na dumarating kay daddy, makita lang kita na healthy, masaya, okay na ko agad!” he wrote.
“Mabigay namin ang kailangan mo at magabayan ka namin ng tama eh panis ‘yung mga problema na ‘yan. Happy Birthday, Corky boy! Mahal na mahal ka namin,” Mark added.
Recent reports claim that Mark performed at Apollo during a highly attended show, with sources indicating he is set to return due to “insistent public demand.” The bar confirmed his comeback performance on social media, fueling speculation about his career path.
According to insiders, Mark’s performance attracted significant attention, with rumors suggesting that he may have earned a substantial talent fee and additional income from tips and cash offerings during his show.
Fans and netizens have been divided on the matter. While some questioned the actor’s decision to perform in such venues, others expressed understanding and support, emphasizing the need for artists to adapt to the evolving entertainment landscape.
The entertainment industry has seen limited opportunities for some actors, and Mark’s move to perform outside traditional platforms highlights the struggles faced by celebrities without regular acting projects. Speculations have arisen that other male celebrities might consider similar performances if these opportunities prove profitable.
Mark has yet to release a formal statement addressing the rumors, but his recent social media activity suggests he is focusing on his family and finding ways to sustain his career amid ongoing challenges.
