On October 27, actor Raymart Santiago thanked GMA Network for his role in ‘Black Rider.’
At the media event for ‘Black Rider,’ which LionhearTV covered, Santiago expressed gratitude to GMA Public Affairs for giving him his role in the Kapuso-action series.
“Maraming salamat rin po sa GMA Public affairs at kinuha ako sa proyektong ito.”
He then cited Ruru Madrid’s potential as an action star.
“Doon naman sa experience ko dito sa Black Rider, napakaganda, at nakita ko kay Ruru, nakita ko ‘yung action scenes nila ni Monsour, may potential, malaki ang potential ni Ruru at, wag ka ring magbabago sa– katulad ng sinabi ni Jun, sa mga taong, mga press people, sa mga taong pumapaligid sayo. Kaabang-abang itong Black Rider.”
He praised Madrid’s good nature as a young actor.
“Una kong nakilala si Ruru sa taping na ‘to, at talagang masasabi ko na magalang ‘tong batang ‘to. Magalang ‘tong batang ‘to. Kasi mayroon ibang mga artista diyan na baguhan, nauuna ‘yung laki ng ulo.”
He then gave a piece of advice to the young Kapuso star to continue with his hunger to learn and grow as an actor.
“With acting skills, hindi naman niya kailangan ng ano, alam naman nating na magaling si Ruru, hindi ko pa siya naka-eksena na kaming dalawa, pero nakita ko ‘yung eksena niya ‘yung kasama niya si Monsour at nakakatuwa kasi alam mong hungry, alam mong gutom siya, gusto niyang matuto, at kung ano ‘yung tinuro sa kaniya ginagawa niya.
“At ‘yung passion niya sa trabaho talagang nandoon, so ‘yung mga taong ganyan ay talagang binibiyayayaan ng Diyos. So, ituloy mo lang ‘yan at malayo ang mararating mo.”
