Kapuso star Ruru Madrid on Friday, June 24, stressed that the local version of the hit Korean reality game show Running Man would prove that he is more than just an actor.
In the virtual media conference of Running Man Philippines, the Lolong star revealed that being himself in the show would allow him to be competitive.
“So kailangan maging competitive kami and our goal is to entertain people. Kaya naman kami nag-artista dahil ‘yun naman talaga ang goal namin. This time, wala kaming ginagampanan na role. Kumbaga ‘yung mga sari-sarili namin, mas makikilala ng tao. Of course, kami, like ako personally, gusto kong makilala ng tao kung sino ba talaga ako.”
Furthermore, Madrid will try to erase the stereotype that he is just an actor with a nice body.
“Siyempre sometimes, iniisip ng mga tao, ‘Si Ruru puro hubad lang ‘yan,’ ‘Si Ruru puro papogi lang iyan.’ But in this show, makikita ang iba’t-ibang personalities namin dito. For sure—kumbaga—para kang may kaibigan na mas makikilala mo hindi lang basta sa nakikita natin.”
He is joined by cast members Glaiza de Castro, Kokoy De Santos, Lexi Gonzales, Angel Guardian, Buboy Villar, and Mikael Daez.
The show is in partnership with its original network, Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), and all its episodes will be shot in South Korea.
Its premiere date is yet to be announced.
