00:00Hi, my name is Elora Espano and I played the role of Teresa in Herlockette.

00:07So, first question, what is my role and relationship to the character of Ms. Rebecca?

00:16So, I am Teresa and Teresa is the caregiver of Jewel Uyang which is played by Ms. Rebecca.

00:28So, since I'm a caregiver, do I have caregiver experience and how did I prepare for the role?

00:37So, to be honest, I didn't become a caregiver when I was older.

00:43I was more of a babysitter because I have younger cousins and younger sister and I became their babysitter.

00:54But as a caregiver, particularly when I was older, I didn't really experience it because when I met my great-grandmother, I was just 6 years old.

01:05Then, when my grandmother got older, because when I met my grandmother, she was still strong.

01:13But later in her life, before she passed, I was not in Cebu anymore.

01:20I was already here in Manila so I didn't experience first-hand how to take care of her.

01:26Maybe, when I just came back from Cebu, I was just worrying about my mother because my mother was the one who became a caregiver to my grandmother.

01:37Then, how did I prepare for being a caregiver?

01:42I don't really have an actual caregiver experience.

01:47Maybe, when you take care of someone.

01:52I'm just kidding.

01:53It's like, it goes...

01:57Because, it's easy to work with Director J.E.

02:03So, he directed us in what we are going to do in the scene.

02:10For example, when we were taking a bath, of course, we were wearing a blanket.

02:15Maybe, I was just being careful.

02:18It's like, how you take care of a child is the same for an adult.

02:23So, it's more like that.

02:29Oh, that slapping scene.

02:33So, to be honest, we had a lot of takes on the slapping scene of Ms. Rebecca.

02:41Oh my God, spoiler alert.

02:44But, yes, she had a lot of takes because first of all, I was worried because I felt that Ms. Rebecca was so fragile.

02:55Then, she was also worried because there were scenes where she was obviously anticipating the slap.

03:06So, what Director J.E. did was, he said,

03:09Okay, fine, no slapping.

03:12He said, no slapping.

03:14Then, later on, he approached me and helped me.

03:18He said, slap me, make it real.

03:21Then, I was like, is this for real, Director?

03:24Wait, I'm getting nervous.

03:26Maybe, I didn't slap her because Ms. Rebecca herself is the producer.

03:29Maybe, later on, I didn't slap her.

03:31But, okay.

03:34So, let's not repeat ourselves.

03:36Of course, my slap was real, but it was still a slap.

03:41It wasn't a full-blown slap.

03:44Of course, we don't want to have an accident.

03:46So, it was still a slap.

03:48Then, I hit her here so that it wouldn't hurt.

03:56So, right here near the jaw.

04:00So, like that.

04:01Then, it was just this.

04:03So, it was a full-blown slap rather than a full-blown slap.

04:07So, what we did was,

04:09I wasn't surprised.

04:10It was a shoot, right?

04:12So, I did it.

04:13I really slapped her.

04:14Then, Ms. Rebecca was surprised.

04:16Her slap was stronger than mine.

04:19So, my mind went blank for a very long time.

04:22Then, okay.

04:23Another slap.

04:25Then, it was just this.

04:27So, we did the slap scene properly.

04:31There.

04:33So, dementia.

04:35Personal experience with dementia.

04:39Yes, I had a personal experience with dementia.

04:43My grandmother, later in her life,

04:46she developed dementia.

04:48This was after the pandemic.

04:50Then, I noticed that

04:52they really went back to being kids.

04:56Because I experienced the same thing with my grandmother.
