On October 6, Kapuso star Jillian Ward considered her role in ‘Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko Presents: Captain Kitten’ a break from her drama-heavy role in ‘Abot Kamay na Pangarap.’
At the media event for her month-long episode for ‘Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko Presents: Captain Kitten,’ Ward remarked that she enjoyed her role in the anthology series, especially with the light-hearted themes of their superhero episodes.
“Of course, na-excite po talaga kasi isang taon na po naming ginagawa ‘yung Abot Kamay, so ‘yun po talaga kumbaga drama, tapos medical po siya, talagang sobrang seryoso po siya.
“Ito naman po, parang breaker siya for me, parang nag-enjoy lang po talaga ako kasi may comedy siya, tapos, fantasy siya tapos may action pa po. So sobrang ibang-iba po talaga siya sa Abot Kamay na Pangarap. So nag-enjoy lang po talaga ako as in, nag-aadlib lang po ako dito, nangungulit lang po ako sa loob ng scene. So ayun, nag-enjoy lang po talaga ako.”
Aside from enjoying her role in the ‘Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko,’ she also noted that she did most of her stunts during their action sequences.
“Ginawa ko po mostly ‘yung stunts ko po talaga. Kasi gusto ko po ma-experience. So ‘yung mga suntok-suntok po, ‘yung mga sipa-sipa. Pero, siyempre mayroon rin po akong double para ma-sure na safe, kasi hindi pa po ako sanay sa mga fight scenes. Hindi pa po ako sanay sa action kasi, first time ko po siya as a dalaga.”
She described her role in the Kapuso anthology series as worthwhile and exciting.
“And nasanay nga po ako sa Abot Kamay [na Pangarap] na drama po siya, seryoso, puro medical terms. So inilaban ko rin po talaga siya, in fairness, sinubukan ko rin po ‘yung mga fight scenes. Kaya ayun po, pagod na pagod po ako pagkatapos ng taping, pero ‘yun po worth it po siya. Kasi exciting po siya and something new po siya sa akin.”
