00:00How proud are you and how is that experience being part of Pulang Araw?
00:30I am so proud to be part of Pulang Araw.
00:36I always look forward to it and my dream is to be part of a historical drama.
00:41Because I want my daughter to watch it, especially this kind of drama at school.
00:46I hope it will be shown at school.
00:49Because when we were still in school, it was all about reading books.
00:56But now, you can watch it visually.
00:59Before, you can only imagine what the 1940s looked like.
01:06You would look at different books.
01:08But now, you can see it visually.
01:11And your role is?
01:12I am Amalia, not Malanta.
01:15Amalia Di Malanta Torres.
01:18I am the aunt of Barbie and Alden.
01:24My husband here is Niel Cece.
01:27There's a bit of a contrast between the two.
01:31And then, I will be part of the comfort women scene.
01:36Can I tell you something?
01:38You look so pretty in the trailer.
01:42You look so pretty.
01:45You look so pretty in the trailer.
01:50I'm going to scream.
01:52No, it's true.
01:53Because you're talking about your child, right?
01:56And how it's going to affect your baby, right?
02:00I can imagine how proud your family would be.
02:03It's amazing.
02:04It's just a trailer.
02:05Yes.
02:06Actually, Tito Boy, when you watch it, everything is amazing.
02:10There's nothing to throw away.
02:11Even the red sun's talents, you'll be shy to show off.
02:16You have to study your scene before you come to the set.
02:19Because it's embarrassing.
02:21Because if you don't get an assignment,
02:23You're not prepared.
02:24It's embarrassing for all the co-actors.
02:27Because everyone is prepared.
02:29The problem is, when you tell yourself not to buckle up, you end up buckling up.
02:36Sometimes, it's an art technique.
02:37After that, you just really have to let go.
02:40You play Sister Manuela.
02:43How was that?
02:45Actually, it was my first time to be a mother in a show.
02:48Are you getting pregnant?
02:49I'm getting pregnant.
02:52I'm getting pregnant.
02:53And of course, it's different because I was a mother in 1945.
02:56What kind of mother was Sister Manuela?
03:00Sister Manuela, I think she's the head sister in their chapel.
03:04And the challenge for me was the language.
03:07Because Tagalog is really deep.
03:10So, as a sister, we have a scene where we're like,
03:13Hermana, what are you going through?
03:15It's deep.
03:16Hermana means?
03:18Kapatid.
03:19Kapatid, yes.
03:22And when I'm preaching, you know, there are deep words.
03:26But the most challenging, from a mother,
03:31she'll also go to the comfort women, to the garrison.
03:34What's important to me,
03:35so congratulations to all who are involved in Pulang Araw,
03:39we really can't move forward as a country and as a people
03:44if we don't embrace our history.
03:48It's important.
03:49It's important that we know the story of Sister Manuela,
03:53of Amalia, and many others.
03:56That's the most difficult thing about this character.
03:59Because we're sure that the characters that we're doing
04:02have lived through a character like that before.
04:04So, it happened, it's history.
04:07So, we really need to give justice to all the rules
04:12that we should be following.
04:14You need to believe that there was a person like this
04:16who lived through this.
