On April 8, Viva artist Jamilla Obispo revealed how she would handle a scandal.
During the media conference for Iskandalo, Obispo said her reaction would depend on the visibility of her face in the video.
“Di ko rin siguro ide-deny, depende siguro sa anggulo ng camera. Kitang-kita ba ‘yung face ko? Charot!
“So parang deadma na lang din, kasi naniniwala din naman ako sa Karma. So alam mo ‘yun learn from it na lang din.”
She then added that she wouldn’t deny it if a scandal about her went viral.
“Kung sino man ‘yung nag-upload nun, nagkalat, kung masaya siya doon, may balik din naman ‘yun. But di ko na lang ide-deny.”
Obispo stars in Iskandalo alongside Cindy Miranda, AJ Raval, Ayanna Misola, and Angela Morena in their sexy and gritty 10-part series directed by Roman Perez Jr.
She urged critics to watch their series first to understand the story behind Iskandalo.
“Sa totoong buhay hindi naman po talaga nawawala ‘yung mga ganyan. ‘Yung sex, parte talaga ‘yan eh. So dapat talaga nilang abangan at panoorin para maintindihan nila kung ano ‘yung Iskandalo.”
As a sexy actress, Obispo reacted to people referring to her as a ‘pantasya ng bayan.’
“Nakakataba ng puso na tawaging pantasya ng ano. Siyempre nakakataba ‘yun so it’s a compliment. Nakaka-inspire ‘yun. I take it as a positive kasi mas nakaka-inspire ‘yun na mas alagaan pa namin ‘yung sarili namin ng mas mabuti.”
Obispo also detailed how she lets go of her character during intimate scenes.
“Parang lagi naman akong nadadala, pero pag nag-cut na si direk, wala na ‘yun. So pinag-aralan ko din ‘yun kung paano pipiglas agad, kasi kailangan namin ‘yun as an actor.
“May times na nadadala, nadadala kasi magaling din naman ‘yung partner mo pero hanggang doon lang po ‘yun.”
Iskandalo premiered on Vivamax on April 10 and with new episodes each week.
