Multi-awarded Filipino actress and singer, Manilyn Reynes said she doesn’t see professionalism and punctuality in the younger generation of artists.
On May 17, on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’, Reynes shared why she stayed in the industry for so long.
Reynes explained, “Unang-una siguro dahil binigyan tayo ng talent na kailangan nating i-share hindi ba? Nagtagal dahil po, hindi po ako nagbubuhat ng bangko, pero napaka-professional ko po Tito Boy and you know that. Kapag may kailangan akong gawin sa trabaho ko, ginagawa ko po talaga and more, kung puwede pang gawing more. Napaka-punctual ko po, totoo po ‘yan.”
Reynes revealed that she does her job well in her work and she respects the time of her co-workers.
“Ito bang katangiang ito naiintindihan ito ng mga batang artista?” Abunda asked.
“Hindi po. I’m sorry to say it’s sad really,” Reynes quickly responded.
Reynes recalled a time when she waited for hours because an artist was not familiar with the script.
“Ako kasi kung alas-otso ang call time ko or seven, I leave the house at four thirty or five. Hindi baleng mapaaga ako basta nandoon na ako sa area. Oo, totoo po magpapa-make-up ka pa, pero kung nasa eksena ka na, sana po hindi na nag-i-script, alam mo na dapat ‘yung gagawin o sasabihin,” she said.
Reynes currently appears in the weekend comedy show ‘Pepito Manaloto: Tuloy Ang Kuwento’. She also appeared in the hit TV drama fantasy series ‘Maria Clara and Ibarra’.
