Rita Daniela admitted that in her many years in the showbiz industry, her casting as Aubrey in ‘My Special Tatay’ gave her a lot of good feedback.
In 2008, she started finding luck and joined ‘Popstar Kids,’ using her own name Rita Iringan, and was the grand winner back then. She was with Julie Anne San Jose. After numerous guesting in GMA Network, she decided to set aside her career and finish her studies first, until she appeared on screen and did some guesting.
After her comeback, GMA Network offered her a role as Aubrey in ‘My Special Tatay,’ with Ken Chan playing the title role as Boyet, who has a mild intellectual disability. But first, the Kapuso Star did not accept the role of Aubrey.
“Noong una pong i-offer sa akin ang role ni Aubrey, tumanggi ako. Kasi si Aubrey, isang pokpok, mabubuntis, magkakaanak at masama siyang babae,” Rita shared.
But eventually, she accepted it and was taught what was the role was all about.

“Pero nang i-explain nila kung ano talaga ang magiging role ni Aubrey, napaiyak pa ako nang tanggapin ko. Kasi later, ako pala ang magiging bida,” Rita said.
“Sa ilang taon ko na po sa GMA, first time kong naging leading lady sa series. At habang tumatagal, minamahal ang character ko ng mga televiewers,” she added.
Rita shared that despite being the Grand Champion of her batch in ‘Popstar Kids,’ this was just the moment she felt the she has been supported and having fans.
“Nakakaiyak din na ngayon lang ako nagkaroon talaga ng mga fans. Overwhelmed ako sa mga ipinapakita nila sa akin kapag dumadalaw sila sa set namin ng My Special Tatay. Nakakatuwa na madalas silang magdala ng pagkain sa set, hindi lamang para sa akin kundi sa aming lahat. Alam ba ninyong itong cell phone kong gamit ngayon, bigay nila? First time ko ring nagkaroon ng iPad, bigay din nila. Then branded shoes, handbags, at ang naka-shock sa akin, binigyan nila ako ng personalized microphone, may sarili na akong mic na gamit kapag nagge-guest ako sa mga shows na kakanta ako. Isang Sennheiser mic, color silver, at hindi ko alam na ganoon kamahal pala iyon.” Rita again shared.

She is much thankful to the teleserye she stars with Ken, but is a bit sad because of the upcoming finale of the said series.
“Pero sana po ay manood din sila ng concert namin ni Ken, ang “My Special Love” #BoBreyinConcert sa May 11, 2019, sa Music Museum. Produced po ito ng Star Media Entertainment at GMA Music. Kita-kita po tayo, para sa inyo ito, bilang pasasalamat sa pagtangkilik ninyo sa amin at sa ‘My Special Tatay,'” she ended.
