Stars of the upcoming sexy-action Vivamax original series Iskandalo AJ Raval, Cindy Miranda, and Ayanna Misola expressed their disappointment that their intimate scenes were being used as sex scandals on Wednesday, March 23.
In the virtual media conference of the upcoming Vivamax series, Raval was saddened that the hard work of those involved in a certain sexy project was undermined.
“Nalulungkot lang po ako kasi pinagpapaguran namin ‘yon, lahat po ayan sina Direk, mapa-staff po, pinagpapaguran po ‘yan ng mga tao. Nagpupuyat po kami sa shoot and then nanakawin lang ng iba tapos parang pinagkakakitaan lang ng iba. Kaya nakakalungkot lang po yung ganoong sistema natin.”
Miranda and Misola were also disappointed but understood that it was out of their “control.”
“Sana mapanuod po nila ng buo kung ano yung ginagawa namin. Para hindi lang nila ma-judge kung ano man yung parte na nakikita nila. Because in here, we’re really an actress. We’re given a character to play whole-heartedly,” said Miranda.
“Hindi naman po natin kontrolado ang social media kung ipo-post man nila ‘yan kung saang website,” agreed Misola.
Miranda also stressed that there was nothing shameful with those edited videos due to them being scenes from her movies.
“Walang regrets, hindi ka mahihiya sa ginawa mo. You know, you don’t need to judge an actress kasi nga actress nga sila.”
The sexy star even shared a reminder that it is their responsibility to provide entertainment and original content to viewers as artists.
“Sana ipaalala natin sa tao ‘yon. We’re here to entertain you, we’re here to spend your time lalo na kapag wala kayong magawa, lonely kayo, imagine that, we’re here for you. Sana po ‘wag na ipirata yung mga ganitong bagay. Suportahan po natin yung ating industriya,” stated Miranda.
Misola also added that she was unaffected by her videos being turned into porn.
“Pero hindi naman po ako nagpapaapekto kung sino man ang makakita. Kasi alam ko sa sarili ko na galing siya sa film, hindi siya personal.”
Meanwhile, their co-star Sean De Guzman was also involved in a scandal but was not giving it much thought.
“‘Pag sa mga ganyag bagay na kumakalat, dapat pong hindi na pinapatulan. Kasi kumbaga every week may mga bagong scandal naman so natatabunan naman, hahaha.
“Pero seryoso, ‘wag na lang po sigurong ikalat or bago gawin yung isang bagay, pag-isipan pong mabuti kung ano ang mga magiging kalalabasan noon. Kasi ikaw din ang magsa-suffer sa huli.”
Iskandalo is the biggest original series of Vivamax yet. It also includes Jay Manalo, Angela Morena, Jamilla Obispo, and child star Francis Magundayao.
The series is directed by Roman Perez Jr and will be available for streaming starting April 10 on Vivamax.
