“And maybe, I also matured in the way–like how I approach scenes. The way that I would see scripts, the way that I would /approach my craft. With the help of Direk, with the help of everyone here, the crew.
“Just my whole perception of this industry, my /craft, what I want to work on, what I still want to get /better at. What I still want to grow in–the importance of teamwork and support to one another.
“All of those– that really was evident during the He’s Into Her journey, and I really felt that. Parang na-feel ko talaga na nagchange ‘yung mindset ko.”
As for Belle, she recounted what she learned because of her role as Maxpein.
“As for me naman, ang dami kong natutunan from my character’s perspective and from Belle’s perspective. With my character naman, ang dami niya kasing pinagdaanan, and nakikita niya rin kasi ‘yung story ng friends niya, kung anong nangyayari. So, a lot of us, viewers as well, ang dami nating natutunan. And na-aapply ko siya, it happens talaga to us people.”
She then inferred that her learnings as an actress from the series would be handy for her future projects.
