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.
