On March 22, Kapamilya artist Ralph Malibunas recalled being a “cause of delay” to his previous project.
At the set visit for Teen Clash in Quezon City, Malibunas admitted that he got called out by director Ted Boborol.
“Ito po sa film po ni Direk Ted Boborol. Ito pong Connected, ito po kasi ‘yung pinaka first acting–maraming exposure. And ito pong scene na ‘to, parang umabot na po kami ng 12am, hindi ko po magawa ‘yung eksena.”
He then detailed how the feeling of pressure overwhelmed him during one of their sequences in the Kapamilya film, Connected.
“Parang nahihiya na po talaga ako sa mga nag-iilaw, sa camera man, kahit hindi po nila sabihin or pati kay Direk din, parang mata niya parang, ‘Tapusin na natin ‘to, ano ba? Bakit hindi pa natin ‘to tapusin?’ So doon ko naramdaman talaga, doon ko naramdaman ‘yung pressure and sobrang kaba kasi siyempre ayaw ko din maging cause of delay kasi siyempre lahat pagod na. Gusto ko ng gawin lahat.”
He noted what he learned through his experience about remaining calm and focused.
“Pero sa pamamagitan noon, ang dami ko ring natutunan. Katulad rin ‘yung sinabi ni Kobie, ako rin overthinker din ako, parang lagi kong ino-over think ‘yung mga gagawin ko. Which is dapat, kalma ka lang, para mas magawa mo ng maayos ‘yung mga scene. Kaya naman, Direk Ted, thank you. Sana proud ka sa akin.”
He then clarified that Boborol understood that it was his first major project.
“Yes, sobra, parang ‘yung mukha niya po–tapos noong nasa elevator po kami parang, hindi ko alam kung kakausapin ko po siya, kasi naka-lock in po kami parang, hindi ko po talaga siya maka-usap. Parang, ‘Ano ba? pina–.’ Pero sobrang naintindihan naman po ni Direk Ted, kasi ‘yun nga po first timer, and first acting project ko po.”
