00:00Before Widow's War ends, you can share with us your journey and experience in taping, working, or the entire show of Widow's War.
00:20And of course, we also want to know what you miss the most from the set or from your co-stars.
00:28Okay, let's start with Charlie. She's so excited to answer.
00:32I'm not smiling. I'm still loading.
00:39For me, as an actress, Widow's War is my first show.
00:44I did guesting for Royal Blood.
00:46And I was casted for Royal Blood.
00:48So, this is my first time acting.
00:50And I'm so happy. It was so cool.
00:52And I was just starting.
00:54Why?
00:55Because I had to adjust on the set.
00:58Because it's really different in the workshop and on the set.
01:01And it's really different when you have your character.
01:04Because?
01:05Because you have to see yourself or you have to see the world in your character's view.
01:12So, I had to take that in.
01:14And I didn't take it in right away.
01:16So, now I realized that I have to do it step by step in my script as a character.
01:22And I'm so happy that I got to learn Sofia.
01:25So, thank you.
01:26And congratulations. You did so well as Sofia.
01:29But you were with the cast because the world is bigger now, right?
01:33The workshop was limited.
01:36But now, you have to work with not only your co-stars but also the production team.
01:43I'm actually super happy because my co-stars are veterans.
01:47So, I learned a lot.
01:49I learned a lot from Sharon.
01:51I learned a lot from Matthew and Ricky.
01:54They're always so fun to be with.
01:56You saw that we were really chill.
01:58And that's what I really miss.
02:00That separation anxiety.
02:02I really cried when I realized that we were ending.
02:06And it was the last taping day.
02:08My heart was crying.
02:09But as a heart, it kept going.
02:12Yes, that's true.
02:13That's right.
02:14But you three were always close.
02:16Yes.
02:17How was your set-up?
02:21You were always together.
02:22I was always hanging out in their tent.
02:24So, you were always together.
02:25We were paying each other.
02:26We were paying each other.
02:27We were paying each other.
02:28That's why you guys fit in the show.
02:30That's why we're here today.
02:32Correct.
02:33Good job, Sofia.
02:36I'll miss you, Sofia.
02:37Ricky May.
02:38Ricky was supposed to be Ricky but we wanted him to be Ricky May.
02:43Because he's from Hawaii, right?
02:45Yes.
02:46He's from Hawaii.
02:47Yes.
02:48Ricky May.
02:49But didn't Ricky go in towards the middle?
02:52Yes, he went in towards the middle.
02:54Actually, like Charlie, this is also my first tennis area ever.
03:00That's why I'm always nervous whenever there's a call or taping.
03:05How do you feel nervous?
03:06Like this.
03:07Like this.
03:11So, I entered in the middle.
03:14Because someone left the family.
03:18Fion, right?
03:20DJ.
03:21She has a theater.
03:23So, I entered in the middle.
03:25I was so excited.
03:26And then, my mom is still with me.
03:29My mom is Miss Jackie Lu.
03:30Yes.
03:31Shout out to Jackie Lu.
03:32Miss Jackie Lu Blanco.
03:33Wow.
03:34We miss you.
03:35I hope my mom watches Miss Jackie Lu.
03:36She should.
03:37She should.
03:38She should.
03:39Miss Jackie.
03:40And, my dears, she's one of the kindest.
03:44I want to call her an angel.
03:48Your mom is so kind.
03:51Even if you don't know each other, you feel like you've known each other for a long time.
03:55Because of her aura and everything.
03:57So, shout out to you, Miss Jackie Lu Blanco.
04:00Yay.
04:01That's it.
04:02But, was it an advantage that Miss Jackie was there?
04:06Actually, she was surprised when I told her.
04:09No, she was super excited.
04:10She didn't know because my manager, Tito Rams, called me.
04:14And, she was so excited.
04:16Oh, my gosh.
04:17We're together now.
04:19But, it was a pressure for me.
04:21For me.
04:22It was a pressure.
04:23Because?
04:24Because, of course, especially me.
04:25I started in showbiz a bit late.
04:28So, I feel like I'm absorbing everything.
04:30I'm observing.
04:31So, there's an extra pressure when you know that you're lacking.
04:35Yes.
04:36So, you're conscious of your art.
04:39Yes.
04:40It's a good thing that our scenes are usually on the other side.
04:43She's with the cinematographer.
04:44So, you're not always on the same scene?
04:46No.
04:47Okay.
04:48But, before Widow's War, before you were called, did you have a workshop?
04:51Or, did you go out to other shows?
04:54I didn't go out to other shows yet.
04:56But, I joined the Public Workshop of Sparkle.
04:58Actually, that's where we first met.
05:00Yes.
05:01That's where we first met.
05:02Yes.
05:03We didn't expect that we'd be in the same show.
05:04We didn't expect that we'd be in the same show.
05:05Yes.
05:06It's fun, right?
05:07Yes.
05:08It's a big reunion.
05:09But, Ms. Jackie didn't know about it during the set, right?
05:13No.
05:14She just found out.
05:15I think, I called her once.
05:17Our BM told her about it.
05:19Of course, she was excited.
05:20She was happy.
05:21But, she was on the scene of Widow's War.
05:23Yes.
05:24But, we didn't look at each other.
05:25It's like we have an eye-to-eye.
05:26I'm just looking at you.
05:27Why?
05:28I'm laughing.
05:29I'm laughing at you, too.
05:31Yes.
05:32So, that's what we do.
05:33Sometimes, I'm always laughing.
05:34Rico is my character.
05:36Yes, Rico.
05:37I'm always laughing.
05:38Rico is the one who's laughing.
05:39Yes, Rico is the one who's laughing.
05:40He's my character.
05:42But, in the ending,
05:43But, in the ending,
05:44and people already know this,
05:45I'm one of the palatial skills.
05:48Yes.
05:49Congrats.
05:50We were surprised.
05:51Rico is from America.
05:52Yes.
05:53I'm from America.
05:55Right?
05:56The English lines.
05:57It's like your character is not playing.
05:58Your name.
05:59Yes.
06:00But, you know,
06:01But, you know,
06:02when you were called,
06:03that you'll be one of the...
06:04That's right.
06:05We just got to know
06:06about the final script.
06:08Really?
06:09So, we were all surprised
06:10that you'll be there.
06:12Because, it means
06:13that you'll have a big role.
06:15Because,
06:16it's been a long time
06:17from the start
06:18who will die
06:19is what the viewers
06:20are thinking about.
06:21is what the viewers
06:22are thinking about.
06:23I mean,
06:24you're the one
06:25who's with Kenneth.
06:26Yes, it's like
06:27the mastermind is Jericho
06:28or Royce.
06:29That's right.
06:30So, he's like our boss.
06:31We're the...
06:33killers.
06:34Minions.
06:35Minions.
06:36Correct.
06:37Yes.
06:38How do you kill?
06:39Can you give us an example?
06:42Can you give us an example
06:43to Matthew?
06:45No.
06:46I can do that.
06:47You can't do that.
06:48That's your brother.
06:49Weapon.
06:50Yes.
06:51No, no.
06:52No, no.
06:53Why would I help you?
06:54Because,
06:55when you'll start,
06:56Charlie,
06:57it's okay
06:58but this one
06:59is a killer.
07:00That's why.
07:01It's heavy.
07:02It's a killer.
07:03That's why.
07:04So, how is that?
07:05That's why,
07:06I'm really thankful
07:07to TNA.
07:09To Tijuana.
07:10Yes.
07:11And to our creatives,
07:12to Sir RJ,
07:13Sir Obed.
07:14Because,
07:15the character
07:16of Jericho
07:17and the guards
07:18is really good.
07:20The guards, right?
07:21Yes.
07:22And the depth
07:23of your character.
07:24Yes.
07:25That's it.
07:26It's a good experience.
07:27Aside from your mom,
07:28who will you miss the most?
07:29Who will I miss?
07:30I'm kidding.
07:31I'm just kidding.
07:33Actually,
07:34to be honest,
07:35all of them.
07:36Because,
07:37for me,
07:38our cast
07:39became a family.
07:41And also,
07:42I think,
07:43it's an advantage
07:44that...
07:45Excuse me.
07:46It's okay.
07:47It's okay.
07:48Sorry.
07:50It's really an advantage.
07:51Tissue.
07:52Yes.
07:53It's okay.
07:54We're taking care
07:55of Ms. May here.
07:56Yes.
07:57I'm sorry.
07:58Anyways,
07:59excuse me.
08:00But Rikki,
08:01your advantage
08:02is that
08:03you're the
08:04mom and dad
08:05of Director Rikki Davao
08:06and his mom.
08:07Yes.
08:08They're my children.
08:11I'm the daughter
08:12of Director Rikki Davao
08:13and Ms. Jackie Lubrang.
08:15Yes.
08:16That's your advantage.
08:17I mean,
08:18you didn't have
08:19a culture shock
08:20on set.
08:21Yes.
08:22Actually,
08:23when I was growing up,
08:24they brought me
08:25to the set.
08:26Actually,
08:27to GMA shows.
08:28So,
08:29some people
08:30would come up to me
08:31and say,
08:32when you were young,
08:33when you were a mom,
08:34you would just sleep
08:35on the table
08:36of your dad.
08:37Yes.
08:38So,
08:39I think that's why
08:40I wanted to bring this
08:41because the exposure
08:42is adorable.
08:43Yes.
08:44That's right.
08:45Wow.
08:46I see that
08:47in future projects
08:48like that.
08:49Matthew,
08:50do you want to answer
08:51or are you okay?
08:52Okay.
08:53Okay.
08:54Matthew,
08:55about the
08:56Widow's War.
08:57For me,
08:58at first,
08:59of course,
09:00there's the intimidation,
09:01the tension,
09:02the...
09:03Charlie said
09:04that it's tough.
09:05Yes.
09:06Because
09:07it's different
09:08when you're on set.
09:09What you learn
09:10in the workshop,
09:11it's like
09:12it's like
09:13it's like
09:14your weapon.
09:15Yes.
09:16But it's not enough.
09:17It's like
09:18you need to learn
09:19how to use it.
09:20Yes.
09:21Lots.
09:22And then,
09:23of course,
09:24I'll miss my
09:25co-actors
09:26because
09:27they really supported me.
09:28Not just the directors,
09:30they were there
09:32to teach me.
09:33Charlie,
09:34do you remember?
09:35Yes.
09:36When we were having a hard time acting,
09:37they were there.
09:38Direk Zing,
09:39Direk Jerry.
09:40We were in the workshop.
09:41Oh,
09:42I'm crying.
09:43And then,
09:44of course,
09:45we'll miss
09:46our bonding
09:47together
09:48with
09:49Ricky May
09:50and Charlie.
09:51Wow.
09:53They'll miss you.
09:55We love Ricky May so much.
09:57Wow.
09:58Why is that?
09:59Nothing.
10:00He's a big help.
10:01Yes.
10:02Is he a kind person
10:04or does he share...
10:05Sometimes.
10:06Oh, I'm sorry.
10:07No,
10:08it's just that
10:09we always gossip about him.
10:11Yes,
10:12he's always in the tent
10:13with the boys.
10:14Yes.
10:15Sometimes,
10:16he puts me there
10:17so I learn a lot
10:18from the boys.
10:19Yes.
10:20Sometimes,
10:21he's in the tent.
10:22Yes.
10:23We always go around.
10:24You go around.
10:25Wow.
10:26Matthew and I
10:27gossiped about him
10:28when we were in the tent.
10:29Yes.
10:30He's the one
10:31who backs us up.
10:32Yes.
10:33So,
10:34anyway,
10:35congratulations to you guys.
10:37But,
10:38I'll just say this.
10:39Didn't you have a hard time
10:40working with the veterans?
10:41Ricky May has an advantage
10:43because
10:44he's not
10:45on the set.
10:46But,
10:47working with
10:48Sir Tonton Gutierrez,
10:49Jean Garcia,
10:50Miss Lovely,
10:51Blanque Rivero,
10:52who are the veterans
10:53that you worked with?
10:54There.
10:55You didn't get to see them.
10:56Miss Timmy.
10:57Timmy Cruz.
10:58Yes,
10:59that's right.
11:00Shout out,
11:01Miss Timmy.
11:02We love you,
11:03Miss Timmy.
11:04Is she also
11:05watching us?
11:06If you're watching,
11:07shout out to
11:08Miss Timmy Cruz.
11:09What's Miss Timmy's
11:10favorite song?
11:11I love you,
11:12boy.
11:13There.
11:14Boy.
11:15Yes,
11:16that's good.
11:17Okay,
11:19you can continue.
11:20I don't want to.
11:21I don't have a boyfriend.
11:22So, you're a couple?
11:23Didn't you have a love team?
11:25That's where the show is.
11:26I prepared for it.
11:27Because Charlie
11:28looks at you differently
11:29when he's on X-ray.
11:30Because I'm with Charlie.
11:31What?
11:32Yay!
11:33Wait a minute.
11:34Yes, guys.
11:35Okay, wait a minute.
11:36You're a couple.
11:37Okay,
11:38so you didn't have a hard time
11:39or
11:40did someone
11:41give you
11:42pointers
11:43that you remember
11:44and you're like,
11:45wow.
11:46Working with Martin,
11:47it's really hard.
11:48With the veterans.
11:49With the veterans.
11:50Of course.
11:51They're very nice.
11:52They give us tips.
11:53Especially with the blocking,
11:54we have a hard time
11:55with the blocking.
11:56Because
11:57we don't learn it
11:58in the workshops.
11:59So,
12:00we don't learn it
12:01there.
12:02Yes, that's right.
12:03Actually,
12:04they're very giving,
12:05right?
12:06They are.
12:07Very giving.
12:08All of them.
12:09They don't share
12:10their knowledge.
12:11And their sharing
12:12is not like,
12:13for example,
12:14if there's something
12:15that you need to
12:16work on,
12:17improve,
12:18or something,
12:19they don't get angry.
12:20They're like,
12:21hey, try this.
12:22They really give
12:23good feedback.
12:24Actually,
12:25sometimes on set,
12:26we talk about
12:27our scripts a lot.
12:28And we talk about
12:29our process
12:30and how to reach
12:31certain emotions.
12:32With them?
12:33Yes, of course.
12:34I talk to Miss Jackie
12:35when I'm trying to reach
12:36a certain emotion
12:37and she's wonderful.
12:38Wow.
12:39You're so lucky, guys.
12:40It's nice to have a colleague
12:41like that
12:42who teaches you,
12:43right?
12:44Okay.
