Is there anything more she has not yet done?
“Feeling ko yung kulang na lang sa akin ay yung masubukan yung medyo action. In all of the shows/projects that I do kasi, I always favored characters with a love angle. So if I can do an action-romance story, that would be an ‘ideal’ for me,” said the actress.
Despite very tough competition in the primetime block among the country’s major TV networks, Rhian is unfazed by the ratings game. Although she is happy that ‘Indio’ is performing well in the ratings, the numbers aren’t really her source of inspiration for doing her job well.
“I’ve always felt kasi na for as long as you do your job right, you shouldn’t worry about other things. Kasi yung ratings game it’s really not for me e and it clouds up the work that I do. Pagka yun yong iniisip ko sa set, di ko magagawa ng maayos yung trabaho ko kasi iba yung goal mo e, hindi believability yung goal mo kundi iba,” she shared.
“I always tell myself before going to the set to forget about ratings, box office, and billing. It doesn’t matter kung sino yung lalabas na bida sa eksena na ‘to as long as makumpleto mo yung point ng character mo kung bakit nandun siya sa eksena,” added Rhian.
With her busy schedule, it must be tough to be Rhian Ramos. Does she plan to spend a much-deserved vacation after her “Indio”?
“Gusto ko talaga magbakasyon kasi hindi ako nakapag-bakasyon nung Christmas because of the film festival,” she explained.
“If I were given a month, the first week I’ll probably spend it in Thailand because my dad lives there and everything’s cheap and everything tastes good. And then gusto ko ring mag-States kasi mas murang mag-shopping dun. I mean for sure ang idea ng marami na ‘pag sa States ka magsho-shopping ibig sabihin ay mahal pero sa totoo lang may mga brand talaga dun na lalabas na mas mura kaysa dito. Tsaka ‘pag nag-sale dun talagang totoong sale. Besides, may mga kaibigan din kasi ako don kaya masaya,” she said.
In “Indio,” Rhian plays the part of “Magayon,” the goddess of all flying creatures. Magayon camouflages herself as an eagle and she possesses the power to command all winged species. The goddess serves as Malaya/Simeon/Indio’s (Bong Revilla, Jr.) protector and the source of the lead character’s supernatural powers.
In the upcoming episodes of the series, viewers will witness how Simeon/Indio’s morale and willingness to be the champion of the natives will be tested in the face of his adversaries – the Spanish conquistadores. Will he be able to stand it? Will Magayon’s power be enough to help Simeon/Indio?
Watch out for these thrilling revelations in the next episodes of “Indio,” which airs weeknights (Monday to Friday) after “24 Oras” on GMA Telebabad.
