The cast and director of Iskandalo, an upcoming sexy-action original series of Vivamax, felt scandalized by the edited videos Wednesday, March 23.
“Siguro ako personal, kung galing sa nakaw, I feel scandalized ‘pag ganoon. Hindi okay yung pinagkakakitaan nila yung specific intimate scene mo na hindi naman nalalaman ng buong tao na nanunuod kung ano talaga yung kwento ng movie,” said Angela Morena during the show’s virtual media conference.
Ayanna Misola explained that it was humiliating at first, but she knew that there was no truth behind the fake videos.
“Pero yun nga po, galing naman siya sa movie and hindi naman natin controlled ang mga kumukuha ng mga copy na walang paalam. Wala po akong magagawa doon. Pero nafi-feel ko na naii-scandalized ako.”
Jamilla Obispo, also part of the cast, was saddened by the rampant piracy and editing of their sexy scenes.
She expressed, “Yeah, I feel bad na ganoon ang nangyayari and it happened to me na rin na mapunta yung isang clip sa isang… Ayun nakaka-sad lang din na ganoon nila kadaling makuha yung mga bagay na pinaghirapan niyo. So yeah, I feel scandalized.”
AJ Raval also agreed that she felt disgusted by it. However, as a sexy actress, she was already expecting it.
“But s’yempre, alam namin yung pinasok namin, alam namin yung mga p’wedeng mangyari, alam namin yung magiging tingin sa amin ng mga tao. Ako ready na ready yung isip ko sa mga ganoon.”
Sean De Guzman also shared his thoughts, and given that it was their “blood, sweat, and tears” in making the movies, it was a huge disrespect.
“Kahit sabihin natin na ‘wag silang mamirata, gagawin pa rin talaga nila. So hinahayaan na lang din namin. Nakakalungkot din na hindi talaga nakokontrol and hindi rin nahuhuli yung mga ganoong tao,” he stated.
Direk Roman Perez Jr., on the other hand, was all about ignoring those circulating videos.
“Dedma, dedma lang. ‘Pag mga ganiyan, napapalitan ng mas malaking iskandalo ang isang iskandalo. So every week, nagbabago. Sabi ko nga, makakalimutin ang mga Pilipino at mapagpatawad. Napapatawad ng masa yung mga lumalabas na isyu. Napapatawad nila ito kapag nasapawan ng mas malaking isyu. So ganoon lang po iyan. Cycle lang.”
Iskandalo also includes Cindy Miranda, Jay Manalo, and Francis Magundayao. It will be available on Vivamax starting April 10.
