On April 27, Kapuso actress Mikee Quintos voiced her thoughts about giving second chances to cheating partners.
During the media conference for Apoy Sa Langit, Quintos said her response to a cheating partner would depend on how the unfaithful party would handle the situation.
“As of now, ‘yung basis ng desisyon ko sa kung magbibigay ako ng second chance or not is nandoon sa kung paano hinahandle noong nagloko ‘yung situation. Kasi kung makakarinig ka ng mga dahilan na kasi ganito ganyan, the normal excuses you’d hear pag ganon ‘yung situation, I don’t think hindi ko tatanggapin ‘yun.”
She added that she would help the cheating partner if he would talk to her and change his ways.
“Pero kung bilang kakampi niya ako kinakausap, ‘okay nagawa ko ‘to, I’m sorry about it, I don’t think ayaw ko siya harapin mag-isa. Kailangan ko ng tulong mo.’ Alam mo ‘yun together naming haharapin ‘yung problemang ganon, kung nakaka-feel siya ng ganon.
“As long as I feel na kakampi niya ako, at willing siyang baguhin ‘yun, willing ako doon, willing ako magbigay ng second chance.”
Quintos then shared the difficulties she faced transitioning from Pepito Manaloto to Apoy sa Langit.
“Coming from Pepito na nasa ten months din po kami, doon pa lang po sa script reading namin, napansin ko na ‘yun na ‘yung pag-adjust ko sa pag-aral ko sa boses ni Elsa. Kasi si ate Mane as Elsa sa Pepito, very mahinhin siya at being a younger version of her, doon ‘yung role o kinailangan kong baguhin ‘yung natural voice ko na mababa.
“So ‘yung habit ko of adjusting my voice like that, minsan noong start sa script reading, napansin din agad ni Direk Laurice (Guillen) na humihina tapos nagiging mahangin. So kinailangan kong– ‘yung trinabaho kong pagpunta doon, kinailangan kong trabahuhing tanggalin.”
As for the state of her heart, Quintos alluded to having a Kapuso romantic partner.
“Opo happy naman po ako, iwan na lang po natin ‘yun doon.
“Sasabihin ko po ba kung sino, huwag na po ate, surprise na lang. Hintayin ninyo na lang po pag iko-confirm ko someday.”
Quintos stars in the upcoming Kapuso teleserye Apoy sa Langit alongside Zoren Legaspi, Maricel Laxa, and Lianne Valentin.
The supporting cast includes Mariz Ricketts, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, Dave Bornea, Coleen Paz, Celine Fajardo, Patricia Ismael, and Mio Maranan.
