Pangako Sa'Yo won an award. I'm sure you're very proud for being part of a great show!
I'm sure lahat ng cast ng "Pangako..." sobrang happy dahil sa award dahil ang isang show talaga hindi magwo-work 'yan kung hindi tulong-tulong ang mga tao sa show. Kung baga, success ng isa, success ng lahat.
Your tears flow easily when you have a sad scene. What motivates you to cry effortlessly?
I think of a sad song or pangyayari sa life ko na na-down ako.
In the show, Lia joins a sorority. Are you also into that in real life?
No, I don't believe in hazing. Well, I believe in brotherhood and sisterhood. Dapat nandoon ang unity and bonding kahit walang hazing.
Would there be a possibility for you to fall in love with a poor guy just like Lia falling in love with Jonathan?
Actually, it does not matter to me if a guy is sobrang poor or sobrang rich. As long as I love him. It depends naman talaga sa ugali. Merong hindi mayaman pero sobrang bait. Meron namang sobrang rich pero they are the ones who are salbahe, sobrang seloso. So I'd rather go for the not-so-rich guy kaysa naman sa ultra rich nga pero magiging hell naman ang buhay mo.
So far, what has been your memorable experience while doing the show?
(Smiles) Ang pinaka-memorable, every time they make me sing. Sobrang kabado ako and I'm not a singer naman. Tapos after 'non kanchaw sa staff.
How about when you climb the bell tower to meet Jonathan?
Sobrang nakakatakot 'yon! Ang tarik. Kapit na kapit ako tapos palagi akong nagsa-sign of the cross kasi takot na takot ako.
You have only one older brother. Is your relationship with him as close as Lia and Angelo's?
Ganon din kami ng Kuya ko, close din kami...kwentuhan ng life niya, problema...
How about your parents?
Close din. Kapag may problema ako alam ni Mama. Kapag may kalokohan ako alam ni Mama...
Are you also close with Jean Garcia, your Mama Claudia?
Behind the camera I call her Mother or Madam. Mabait siya talaga. Pero kung hindi ka mabait sa kanya, ganon din siya sayo. Sobrang bait talaga. Siya yung tipong pwede mong maka-gimmick. Bagets na bagets ang dating!
Were you intimidated with Jean?
Nung start pa lang ng "Pangako..." may pictorial nagkasama-sama halos buong cast sa pictorial. Si Tonton was there, Jestoni...yung mga big stars talaga. Parang nung start pa lang quiet lang ako, hindi ko sila kinakausap. Scared ako, nakakaintimidate na parang, wow, mga big stars na 'to tapos ako, bago pa lang. Kaya hindi ko alam kung paano ko i-aapproach.
Who are you closest in the set?
Si Daddy Tonton... I call him Daddy. Tapos si Mother, si Echo at si Patrick. Sila yung lagi kong ka-eksena.
How about Kristine?
Okay lang pero hindi ko siya laging nakakasama kasi hindi ko naman siya madalas nakaka-eksena.
You are so busy. Aside from Pangako you still have Tabing-Ilog, TV guestings and your studies to attend to...Buti may time ka pa!
Sa "Pangako..." naman, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and/or 'yon. Tabing-Ilog naman Wednesdays.
You had a scene at the Payatas dumpsite. How was the experience?
Okay lang naman. Sabi kasi nila nagiging mabaho lang 'don kapag umulan. Nung nag-shooting kami 'don hindi naman umulan, sobrang sunny. Tapos nung patapos na kami, tsaka umulan, takbuhan nalang sa kanya-kanyang vans. Nakakaawa yung mga tao. Parang maiisip mo, meron palang mga mahihirap na ganito ang kalagayan. Yung mga bahay nila pinagtagpi-tagpi lang na yero o kahoy. Tapos yung pinaka bakal nila, alamo yung pinaka-spring sa loob ng kama? Napulot lang nila 'yon. Sobrang nakakaawa. Sana naman may gawing paraan ang government. Napansin ko nga, yung ilang mga tao na meron, sila pa yung walang contentment. They forget to thank for the smallest blessings. Buti nga hindi naging ganon yung buhay nila.
Last words for the supporters of PSY...
I just hope you keep watching Pangako Sa'Yo dahil kung hindi dahil sa inyo, wala rin kami dito. We will always give our very best for all of you...thank you po.
