On December 20, Gold Squad Members Andrea Brillantes and Seth Fedelin talked about taking on mature roles and kissing scenes.
During the media conference for her iQiyi series, Saying Goodbye, Brillantes said she’s not yet ready for kissing scenes. However, She and Fedelin agreed that they’re prepared to take on “mature” roles.
“Siguro po kung oofferan po kami kasi sino ba naman po kami para humindi. As long as hindi pa naman po super-duper mature. ‘Yun kaya naman po namin ni Ali [Seth]. Basta wala pa pong kissing scene,” said Brillantes.
“Opo mature roles lang,” Fedelin added.
After that, Brillantes and Fedelin shared details about the sweetest hello and saddest goodbyes in their personal lives.
Brillantes said that her sweetest hello was her new house. Then her saddest goodbye was the passing of her grandfather.
“Sweetest hello ko siguro ‘yung hello ko sa bahay, ‘yung first bahay ko po ever, ng family ko po. Pinaka-sweetest for me noong makita ko na siya.
“‘Yung pinaka malungkot ko pong goodbye siguro ‘yung sa lolo ko po siguro noong nawala na ‘yung lolo ko kasi siya ‘yung tumayong tatay ko eh. Tapos nawala siya nung Kadenang ginto, I was only 16. ‘Yun ‘yung aking hardest goodbye kasi actually hindi ako nakapag-goodbye, I was ten minutes late.”
Fedelin answered that his sweetest hello was joining ABS-CBN. While his saddest goodbye was similar to Brillantes, wherein his grandfather passed away during the pandemic.
“‘Yung pinaka sweetest hello, siguro ‘yung pagpasok ko siguro sa ABS-CBN. ‘Yung pag-hello ko sa buong Kapamilya.
“Tapos ‘yung pinaka-saddest goodbye ko naman, ‘yun po gaya po ng sinabi ni Ali [Andrea] ‘yung sa lolo ko rin ho. Kasi noong pandemic lang po siya sumakabilang buhay.”
Brillantes then described her 2021 as tiring and overwhelming.
“Para sa akin, super-overwhelming, very stressful, lahat naman tayo may kanya-kanyang pinagdaanan ngayong 2021. It wasn’t a great year for a lot of people, pero ‘yung iba naman ito ‘yung best year for them. Iba-iba naman talaga tayo.”
Fedelin, on the other hand, described his 2021 as “solid.”
“Mas naka-focus po ako sa mga magagandang nangyari, kahit hindi perpekto, kahit mayroon pa ring pandemic, at least mayroon pa rin po akong natatanggap galing sa itaas. So masasabi ko pong 2021 na ito is– solid.”
The love team also shared their message to voters for the upcoming 2022 elections.
“Sa 2022, sana magkaroon ng pagbabago at maging matalino ang mga Pilipino sa pagboto next year,” Brillantes stated.
“Wag tayong tatanggap ng P500, mapapalitan po ng bilyon ‘yan. Wag nating sayangin ‘yung P500 na ‘yan,” Fedelin continued.
Fedelin then expressed his hopes that he and Brillantes would continue to be a pair in the coming years.
“Ayaw ko pong matapos kung ano man ‘yung nasimulan namin ayaw kong matapos ‘yun. At gusto ko sa 2022, idadagdag ko na rin po eh sana magkaroon kami ng isang blockbuster. Kami po eh ‘yun po talaga ‘yung gusto namin.”
