Rita makes a comeback.
Daniela came back in 2018 and was given another antagonist role in Ken Chan’s afternoon drama, My Special Tatay. Little did she know, portraying Aubrey Palomares would boost her career. Her character is a young prostitute with loose morals who manipulates the mentally challenged Boyet for her own ulterior motives.
“I auditioned for the role and I’m so glad when they chose me to play Aubrey, a young prostie. Manggagamit ako rito and I take advantage of Ken and his being mentally challenged. I have to prepare for the role. Talakera ako rito…”
“I have to talk in a high-pitched voice. Ang movements ko, very loud, malapokpok talaga. Pero kahit nega si Aubrey, maraming viewers ang nag-empathize sa kanya kasi she is just fighting to survive. Life has not been good to her at lumalaban lang siya.”

Fans clamor for Rita and Ken love team.
Ken was supposed to be paired up with Arra San Agustin due to their chemistry in the now-defunct epidemicserye, The Cure. When Aubrey got pregnant, it became more interesting for viewers to see Ken and Rita’s chemistry.
“We were all surprised na nagustuhan ng mga tao ang tambalan namin ni Ken… Our scenes have become viral at ginagawang memes sa internet. It really makes us so happy as it can only mean the show is doing really well.”

“This is the first time I really felt that viewers appreciate me and my performance, with their very warm reception to Aubrey, and this inspires me all the more to work even harder para mapaganda lalo ang trabaho ko. Kung anong mangyayari kay Aubrey, kung kami ba talaga ang magkakatuluyan ni Boyet, yun ang abangan nyo sa show.”
