On February 25, Kapuso artists Althea Ablan and Shayne Sava reacted to getting dubbed as the new ‘Princesses of Kapuso Drama.’
At the media conference for their upcoming Kapuso series, AraBella, Sava appreciated that people considered her one of the new Kapuso Drama princesses.
“Actually po, until now, sobrang nakakataba ng puso kasi na-appreciate po nila ‘yung ginagawa mo and sobra po nilang nakikita ‘yung talent mo and naniniwala po sila sa kakayahan mo and sa abilidad mo.
“And siyempre po, hearing po na parang ‘Prinsesa ng Drama’ ngayon, like sobra po talagang nakakataba ng puso. And at the same time, I am very, very thankful po for trusting me and believing sa akin.”
Ablan felt gratitude for the praise, promising they would give their 100% best in their roles.
“Siyempre po ako, sobrang thankful po ako kasi pinagkakatiwalaan po ako ng network, sa kung ano po ‘yung kaya kong gawin at kung ano pa ‘yung ipapagawa nila sa akin. So very thankful po ako. Na sana hindi sila mawalan ng tiwala sa akin at kung ano man ‘yung ipapagawa nila sa akin, 100% best po ‘yung ibibigay ko palagi.”
She also acknowledged the pressure that comes with the distinction of her being one of the new Kapuso Drama Princess.
“Siyempre po ‘yung pressure nandoon pa rin kasi ikaw na ‘yung– sa amin ni Shayne, parang sinasabi na kami na ‘yung next generation, ganito, ganyan, so ‘yung pressure nandoon talaga. Kaya kailangan talaga, ibigay namin ‘yung best namin sa lahat ng ginagawa namin.”
Sava insisted they would use the pressure to motivate themselves to improve their acting.
“Mas gawin po namin ‘yung motivation para mas lalo po kaming mag-improve and mas lalo pa po naming galingan sa mga susunod pa po naming gagawing mga proyekto. So ayun po.”
