Acting as a supporting role, Kapuso Actor Paul Salas shared how his character ‘Frank Vergara’ in GTV’s The Lost Recipe changed his acting career during this COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the things that Paul Salas is thankful for his character in The Lost Recipe is the given opportunity to venture other skills aside from acting.
“Love ko ‘yung The Lost Recipe kasi nabigyan nila ako ng chance ‘yung ginagawa ko lang pag mag isa ako sa bahay eh ‘yan ‘yung kumanta oh mag gitara,” Paul Salas shared.
Recalling the memories before the pandemic, Paul Salas shared how he missed performing just like singing and dancing when they do mall shows in different cities.
“Love ko din po talaga kasi mag-perform, kumanta, sumayaw, ‘yun nga po ‘yung nakakamiss talaga sa last year itong mga pag ma-mall show namin, pag pe-perform namin sa mga fiesta.”
That said, he is grateful that he was given a chance to venture singing by bringing into life one of the theme songs of The Lost Recipe.
“So atleast habang wala pa ‘yun habang ‘di pa safe lahat nabigyan po nila ako ng pagkakataon as promise na gumawa ng sariling kanta at pinakanta nila sa akin sa theme song, lahat naman po kami may kanta sobrang kinabahan lang ako ‘nun nag re recording ako kase nga parang feeling ko in-expect sa akin mag kakaroon ako ng ganun kasi.” Paul stressed.
“Binigyan nila ako ng tsansa sa character ko para gawin ‘yun sa TV para ma-entertain ‘yung mga fans namin. So minahal ko talaga ‘yung character ni Frank pero syempre talagang buong buhay mo iba’t iba talaga ang character mo.
“Kailangan mong tanggapin ‘yun, ‘yung bright side na lang dun is may room kame for improvement lagi and feeling ko ‘yung show na i-improve kami lagi kasi about acting skill about sa mga emosyon lahat,” he added.
Asking what he wants viewers to learn from The Lost Recipe, Paul Salas shared that he wants them to learn about the value of love,
“Sa akin siguro ‘yung pag ka mahal mo ‘yung tao andyan yung efforts mo andyan yung walang hinihingi, ‘yun ‘yung nakita ko kay Frank, pagmamahal niya para kay Apple sa lahat, sana baunin nila sa life ‘yung ganun pwede silang mag love ng tao ng walng hinihinging sukli, ayun.”
Knowing his character in The Lost Recipe, Frank Vergara is in an unrequited love with Apple (played by Mikee Quintos); when asked if he ever experienced the same scenario,
“Parang po once once, naalala ko po pero bata pa po ako ‘nun sa ilang taon ba ako ‘nun? 15. Tinanggap ko lang ng parang okay ayaw magpaligaw if wala talaga so, so okay lang naman po, puppylove lang naman po ‘yun,” Paul revealed shyly.
Recently, Paul Salas also admits that his love life was stressful back then. Relating to his current show, he revealed that food relieved him from the stress that he experienced.
“Kasi dati hindi naman po talaga ako nagluluto. So mas gusto ko po ‘yun pag ka ganon na marami kaming kumakain. ‘Yung kasama ko ‘yung pamilya ko.
“Kunwari pagod ako sa trabaho, mas gusto ko ‘yung hindi kami kumakain sa labas gusto ko ‘yung magluluto ‘yung mommy ko or lola ko. Makita ko lang ‘yun, yung nagluluto sila para sa amin ng mga kapatid ko, happy na ‘ko,” said Paul.
“Wala pong love life eh, pero ang nakaka-stress sa akin ng sobra, love life talaga. Sa trabaho mahahandle pa,” said Paul.
To date, the Kapuso actor is contented with his current state in show business, most especially the flexibility that he has.
“Pero, for now, happy naman po ako perform perform lang All Out Sundays sa lahat and sa show na ito.
“Ginagawa ko lang kung ano yung love ko kung ano ‘yung gusto ko at least kung gusto naman nila i-push meron naman ho talagang room for improvement, pag aaralan ko naman ‘yan eh gusto ko po talaga i-push ‘yung singing.”
