On January 5, Kapuso artist Jo Berry expressed her gratitude to GMA Network for giving her inspiring roles.
During the media conference for the series Little Princess, Berry said she aimed to inspire other people through her acting.
“Beyond thankful po ako sa opportunity na binibigay po sa akin ng GMA [Network]. Kasi simula’t simula po, ‘yung mga binibigay po nila sa akin na stories ng creative teams ng mga boss is very inspiring. ‘Yun naman po talaga ‘yung aim ko noong nagdecide ako na tanggapin ‘yung first role ko na maka-inspire ako ng tao.”
Berry added that her role in Little Princess was her escape when dealing with the loss of three of her family members.
“Naging idol ko nga po si Princess eh. The whole time po kasi, bago ako pumasok ng locked-in, may mabigat po akong pinagdadaanan. So noong nandoon ako. Si Princess po ang naging takas ko for a while na alam ko kailangan ko siyang gampanan.”
Berry’s father, brother, and grandfather passed away in 2021.
She also noted that she channeled her emotions following the loss of her family members into portraying her role as ‘Princess.’
“And at the same time po, ‘yung mga hugot ko po noong time na ‘yun nagamit ko po kay Princess. So ‘yung natutunan ko po sa kanya para mas maging malakas at ipagpatuloy ang buhay is lahat ng challenges na dumadating sa atin is dumadating sa atin ‘yan dahil kaya nating harapin. Kaya nating solusyunan. So ‘yun po kahit masakit ang pinagdadaanan, kailangan nating kayanin kasi nandito pa tayo sa mundong ‘to.”
Little Princess stars Jo Berry, Rodjun Cruz, Juancho Trivino, Angelika Dela Cruz, Jestoni Alarcon, and Geneva Cruz. The inspirational series premieres on January 10, 2022, during GMA Afternoon Prime.
