Mikael Daez started his career as a commercial model in various advertisements. Later on, he ventured into acting and is currently signed with GMA Network as a Kapuso artist.
In a recent online interview, Daez shared some of his favorite moments while taping the popular historical fiction drama, Amaya.
Aside from the fun moments on-and-off cam, this particular aspect of their taping got stuck with him till this day:
He said, “Practicality and convenience-wise, medyo hassle mag-fantasy historical shows because of the costume.
“So for ‘Amaya’ and ‘Adarna,’ putting on those costumes, tattoos, and the body paint, that was challenging in terms of patience, but fun nevertheless.”
He mentioned that it doesn’t bother him if he has to take on similar roles in the future.
“In terms of being open to those roles, I am open to any role to be honest with you. I always have this thought and this mindset na: The next project is always an exciting project because it is different. Wala naman tayong mga sequel sa teleserye diba? So it’s always a new character.
“For me, I always find that exciting even though I’ve been at showbiz for more than a decade already, I still have that excitement towards work.”
For 11 years of being with the Kapuso network, the motivation to grow and enjoy the work is his main purpose.
After all, what he’s doing is for the future of his family and simply being wise.
The trust given by GMA Network in tackling roles in Sana’y Ikaw na Nga, is already a big accomplishment for him.
Daez is not easily discouraged by negative feedback, but rather took it as a challenge to prove that he is capable and he can make it.
He is a firm believer of the saying, “Quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit.”
