Actress Glaiza de Castro revealed on May 4 that her experience on “Running Man Philippines” has helped her see a different side of life.
De Castro, during a press conference at GMA Network Studio, admitted that she likes going to work prepared. Otherwise, she feels “rattled.”
“Actually, bago mo pa lang tinanong itong question na ito, iniisip ko na dahil sa Running Man—kasi masiyado akong seryoso pagdating sa trabaho. Alam nila ito, lagi ko ‘tong sinasabi sa kanila even season 1 pa. Nara-rattle ako kapag hindi ako prepared kapag pupunta ako sa work,” said the actress.
With the help of the show and her co-runners, de Castro learned to relax and enjoy life more. She expressed gratitude to her fellow runners for helping her feel less anxious.
“Actually, ngayon ko lang sasabihin ito. Na dahil sa inyo, parang mas nararamdaman ko na ang sarap pala na hindi ka masiyadong seryoso sa buhay. ‘Yung parang okay lang na kalimutan mo muna ang mga responsibilities mo as an adult.”
The second season of Running Man Philippines presented new and exciting challenges for the participants and guest runners. Meanwhile, de Castro hopes their show would highlight childhood happiness in playing games and having fun.
“Kapag magkakasama kami, I think ‘yun din ang gusto kong i-share sa mga tao. And hopefully, through watching Running Man, maramdaman din nila ‘yung closeness na na-build namin. And parang siguro sa akin, kapag pinapanood niyo kami, sana maramdaman nila na, ‘Uy ang saya palang maging bata ulit.’
“So I think ‘yun ang isa sa mga aspeto na ikaka-surprise nila and at the same time, parang madi-discover nila ang individual strengths namin, individual characteristics namin na hindi namin naipapakita. Dahil normal na nakikita kami ng mga tao na umaarte kami or nagho-host kami paunti-unti. Pero dito makikita niyo ang kabaliwan na side namin, at medyo weird na side namin, and ‘yung mga side na hindi namin masiyadong pinapakita on TV.”
Catch her and fellow runners Mikael Daez, Kokoy de Santos, Lexi Gonzales, Angel Guardian, Miguel Tanfelix, and Buboy Villar compete to become the ultimate runner every weekend only on GMA Network.
