On April 21, Kapamilya seasoned actress Sylvia Sanchez clarified her involvement with the digital series Misis Piggy after announcing her hiatus from teleseryes.
During the media conference for ABS-CBN’s early mother’s day offering, Sanchez explained that she agreed to the project before deciding on her hiatus from teleseryes.
“Kaklarohin ko lang ‘to. Bago ko naramdaman ‘yung pagka-drain doon–grateful ako doon sa Huwag Kang Mangamba doon sa kay Barang, sobrang ganda ng role, pero very tiring nga lang sobra.
“So habang ginagawa ko ‘yun pa-ending, nagsabi ako na after nito what’s next na serye. So sabi ko pahinga muna ako sa serye. Pero bago ako nag-decide na magpahinga sa serye, natanggap ko na ‘to eh. Natawag na sa akin ‘to. So natawag na sa akin ‘to.”
She added that she plans to take a break from teleseryes until 2023.
“Mas nauna ‘to kesa doon sa nag-decide akong magpapahinga pero gusto kong magpahinga muna–serye. So tinapos ko lang muna ‘to pero after nito, sabi ko nga kay Ria, ‘Ria ikaw na diyan. Pahinga naman ako the whole year. So next year naman ako–serye lang.'”
Sanchez then stated that she needed to take the rest since she has had several heavy drama projects in recent years.
“Oo pahinga muna ako, kailangan kong tanggalin–kasi after Greatest Love sunod-sunod eh. Hanggang Saan, Greatest Love, Pamilya Ko, Itong huwag kang mangamba hindi talaga ako nakapagpahinga. So ito ang isa sa mga katunayan na nagsasabing, ‘Mommy, pahinga ka’ kasi kahit sa bahay nadadala ko si Barang hanggang ngayon.
“Pero magpapahinga ako on-screen as artista, nasa likod ako ng camera naman.”
In October 2021, Sanchez announced her hiatus from teleseryes after working on the role of Barang in Huwag Kang Mangamba.
As for her digital series, Misis Piggy stars Sylvia Sanchez, Ria Atayde, Iana Bernardez, Elijah Canlas, Ricky Davao, Rubi Rubi, and Fino Herrera.
