“Hindi siya makaiyak tapos minomotivate ko ung paano siya iiyak. E hindi talaga siya makaiyak, so bago pa ako mapaiyak sa kabwisitan, nasampal ko na siya,” the director explained.
He may have won Best Supporting Actor for indie film “Ang Kubo sa Kawayan” at the Urduja Heritage Film Awards 2016, but it’s not an assurance that he can already deliver all the needs especially in some difficult scenes.
During the finale presscon of “Be My Lady,” Kapamilya director Don Cuaresma admitted that he slapped his actor RK Bagatsing to help him motivate in an important scene.
Direk Don confessed, “Sa isang eksena nasampal ko siya para umiyak siya.”
The director also revealed that this is not his first time to slap an actor. He said, “Actually nagawa ko na naman ‘yan kay Jason Abalos at saka kay Alex Medina so he’s in good company.”
He further explained, “Hindi ko lang talaga mai-pass ‘yung posibilidad na hindi siya lumutang sa eksena kasi eksena niya ‘yun na parang ayoko na hindi siya alam mo ‘yun.”

The hit morning series “Be My Lady” was considered as his big break on TV. He had appeared, however, in “Slumber Party,” “The Guerilla Is a Poet,” “Sitio” and “Expressway” as an indie actor.
