Has being in show business changed you?
K: I used to be called “tamimi” (speechless) at home, but when I entered showbiz, they [family] stopped calling me that because I’m not quiet anymore! When they saw me on TV they couldn’t believe that I have talent rin pala.
E: When it comes to showbiz, [you have to] be contained and stay out of trouble. It’s especially important to remain down-to-earth because it’ll be the start of your downfall if you’re not.
What was the greatest challenge you've faced and how were you able to handle it?
K: So far, the greatest challenge in my life was when my mom left us. Prayers have helped me a lot. I always ask God to take care of my mom wherever she is now and to give me strength to face all my problems.
E: Entering showbiz was one of the greatest challenges I had to deal with. It’s hard when you come from a totally different [non-showbiz] world. I thought to myself, if I want to be good at it, I have to accept and adjust with it.
Having worked together on many shows, how would you describe each other?
K: Enchong is a very funny, cool guy. He charms people with his smile and he also has his ways of making them laugh and feel good about themselves. Buddy-buddy kami.
E: Kim is the kind of girl who’s fun to be with and she’s ready to learn. Curious siya palagi, and I think that’s what makes her advanced compared to other artists because she’s open to changes and to new things. I admire that she’s traditional and she’s very conservative.
What’s your dream role?
K: A role in a fanta-serye sana. I’d love to play a mermaid role like our local sea goddess Marina or Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
E: I’ve always wanted to play the life of Andres Bonifacio. I think he’s someone who has done great things for our country and I admire him as a hero because what he’s done gave us our freedom.
