On September 25, Idol Philippines Season 2 finalist Ann Raniel discussed the possibility of landing an acting project.
At the media conference for the Idol Philippines Season 2 Top 5 with the press, including LionhearTV, Raniel clarified that she prefers to have workshops before she begins her acting career.
“Ako po, open naman po ako, pero ‘yung feeling ko as of the moment, parang hindi pa po ako ready sa ganong part po. Siguro po not anytime soon, kung mangyayari man po ‘yun, siguro po, magwo-workshop po muna ako para handa po ako sa mga ibibigay po na project po.”
As for staying under ABS-CBN, she promised she would remain a Kapamilya.
“Yes po, mapa-promise ko po na mag-i-stay po ako dito.
“And sacrifice? Actually, tumigil po ako mag live-stream, tumigil po ako mag-study para dito po sa Idol Philippines. Until now gusto ko po siyang bigyan ng time at tsaka ito po ‘yung career po na mayroon po ako ngayon, gusto ko po siya i-work out po, ‘yung craft na mayroon po ako.”
She also recounted her experience performing in ASAP Natin ‘To for the first time.
“Sobrang saya po, sobrang grateful dahil kung di po sa Idol Philippines, hindi po kami mabibigyan ng ganitong avenue, and makasama po ‘yung mga icons at tsaka sa isang prod. Sobrang masaya, sobrang blessed, para lang po akong nakalutang pag kasabayan ko po sila.”
