On August 5, Viva artist Christine Bermas stated that she doesn’t consider herself an actress yet.
At the virtual meeting for Lampas Langit, which had select members of the entertainment press, including LionhearTV, Bermas said she continuously reminds herself to remain grounded as she receives projects from Viva.
“Lagi kong kino-quote sa self ko na maging be down to earth. At palagi kong iniisip kung saan ako nanggaling. So everytime na ‘yun nga, parang pag may blessing, may pumapasok sa aking project, syempre tinatanggap namin ‘yan.”
She does note that she appreciates the praises she’s receiving for her projects.
“And nag-start din kasi talaga ko kay Direk Joel Lamangan. Iba ‘yung pakiramdam kapag binigay mo ‘yung buong sarili mo, kay Direk Joel Lamangan since started talaga sa kaniya talaga. So parang, alam mo sa self mo– ako kasi hindi ko rin kasi tinuturing ‘yung self ko na artista. Siguro may mga naririnig ako sa ibang people na ganon, na actress ka na, well I appreciate that.”
She then stressed how much she loves her job and considers every project she receives a blessing.
“Pero kasi ako, siguro kasi sobrang mahal ko ‘yung trabaho ko and alam mo ‘yung feeling na gusto ko talaga ‘yung ginagawa ko, dedicated ako sa ginagawa ko kaya nanininiwala ako lang na mas maraming blessings and opportunities na pumupunta sayo, and palagi–ako, palagi talaga akong nagpa-pray kay Lord sa lahat ng natatanggap ko at sa lahat ng maibibigay pa sa akin.”
Bermas then confessed that she wanted to graduate from her sexy star image, expressing her interest in being a more serious dramatic actress.
“To be honest kasi, binigay ko na lahat ng–I mean lahat sa Scorpio Nights 3. So parang for me, stop na for that. So parang gusto ko na grumaduate from that. And gusto ko naman talaga ng casting niya, and yeah kung sasabihin ko kasi na mas may maibibigay pa ako na more, baka po kasi ma-stuck ako sa pagse-sexy lang.
“Sa akin naman po, if hindi ko talaga ita-try na maging ‘yung actingan or dramahan or iba’t iba pong genre, so feeling ko po talaga nabigay ko na lahat sa Scorpio Nights. But if one day may mas maganda pang–I mean may dadating pa na project na maganda ‘yung story, maganda ang script, okay–may chance din sa Director, okay din sa director, siguro tignan natin. Depende sa magiging story kung maibibigay ko pa ‘yung naibigay ko na sa Scorpio Nights.”
Bermas stars in the Vivamax romance thriller Lampas Langit. The movie also stars Ricky Davao, Baron Geisler, Chloe Jenna, and Milana Ikimoto.
Lampas Langit, directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo, premieres on Vivamax on August 19.
