Julia Montes will be part of the longest-running Kapamilya show FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano and Yassi Pressman on August 23, is excited to see her be part of such an amazing series.
“I’m so excited. Yung nakita ko, sabi ko, this is definitely a great move kasi sigurado ako na nami-miss ng lahat ng mga tao si Julia Montes,” expressed the actress during her virtual press conference on Monday.
The actress then only wished for the very best for her colleague and believed people missed seeing Montes on television.
“Ang tagal-tagal n’yang nagpahinga. I don’t know what she did but I’m sure it was great for her.
“And for her to be coming back, and dito sa show na Ang Probinsyano, sigurado ako na inaabangan ng lahat.
“I just wish her the best kasi alam ko na kahit anong gawin ng Ang Probinsyano Family, it’s all going to be hard work… work on hard tapos pinag-isipan mabuti and laging exciting,” said Pressman who played Alyana Arevalo in FPJAP for five years.
After being part of such an amazing series, Pressman could not deny that she had difficulty getting out of her FPJAP character.
“It was hard. Sobrang mahirap to take myself away from Alyana. Kasi parang naging ako na s’ya dahil sa araw-araw naming pagte-taping. Dala-dala ko na talaga s’ya. ‘Di ko s’ya makakalimutan,” she admitted.
Fortunately for the actress, she finally learned how to move on from her character and is now busy preparing to star in an upcoming Viva film More Than Blue, an adaptation of the hit Korean movie itself.
“…kinaya ko na s’ya for now to play new characters, new experiences, and new projects,” continued Pressman.
She also took the opportunity to explain the reason why she left the show. Apparently, there was some disagreement on her schedule, forcing her to leave.
“Nagkaproblema kasi kami sa schedule no’n. It was so hard to leave the show because everybody was comfortable, and we love the show, and we love each other,” stressed Pressman.
Though her time with FPJAP was up, Pressman was very grateful to Coco Martin, ABS-CBN, and Dreamscape Entertainment for allowing her to bring life to an iconic character.
“Di po naging madali pero at the end of the day I was very thankful and grateful.
Nagpasalamat din naman si coco sa akin, at nagpasalamat ako sobra-sobra sa kanya, sa buong show, sa buong Dreamscape, s’yempre sa buong ABS-CBN family ko din,” she recalled.
After leaving FPJAP, Pressman went on to host a game show on TV5 called, Rolling In It Philippines while juggling her time as an entrepreneur.
