AJ Raval, Ace Raval recall their experience getting into gang wars

On August 11, Viva star AJ Raval and rap artist Ace Raval recalled their experience getting into gang wars.

At the media conference for the urban sexy action thriller Sitio Diablo, with the press, including LionhearTV, AJ revealed that they had to rush Ace to the emergency room following the altercation.

“Immature pa kasi kami that time. Pag bata ka pa kasi sobrang lakas ng loob mo eh. Wala kang kinatatakutan, umabot kami sa point na si Ace, tinakbo na sa emergency kasi napuruhan kasi talaga siya ng mga tao doon.”

Ace then discussed how it affected him mentally, especially in trusting people.

“‘Yung trust sa ibang tao, tama ba na pakisamahan siya. Pero ayos lang, ayos na rin, naranasan ko ‘yun, at least ito ako ngayon, bumait.”

AJ then cited why she and her brother got into a fight. 

“May reason naman po kung bakit nangyari sa amin ‘yun. Parang ako po ‘yung inaano nun, parang binabastos ako, kwinelyuhan na po ako–imagine lalaki kwekwelyuhan ‘yung babae, batang babae. So, nagalit lang po ‘yung kuya ko siyempre kapatid.” 

Ace and AJ also discussed what it was like working together in Sitio Diablo.

Ace narrated how AJ channeled her emotions in acting.

“Mayroon eksena doon na umiiyak. Ngayon itong si AJ, hinawakan niya ‘yung kamay ko. Nakita ‘yun nila Direk. Tapos umiiyak siya, parang ako ‘yung ginagawa niyang way para makaiyak ng todo, mailabas ‘yung emosyon niya.” 

AJ then stated that she saw younger herself with his older brother as he dipped his toe in acting.

“Ito naman si Ace, nakikita ko ‘yung sarili ko sa kaniya noong nag-start ako. So that time, wag kang masyadong magagalit sa akin– ‘yung na-experience ko before, nakikita ko kay Ace, kaya gina-guide ko siya kahit sa mga kaunting bagay na kunwari pag magla-line siya, ‘yung mata niya diretso lang sa kausap niya. Gina-guide ko naman siya kahit paano. Pero hindi ko alam kung nakikinig siya.”

She then expressed happiness over Ace’s acting break with the Vivamax movie.

“Noong first day ng shoot ni Ace, first day ng eksena niya, gusto ko nandoon ako. Gusto ko pinapanood ko siya, kasi naalala ko noong first time ko, first time ko mag-eksena, naalala ko sa sobrang pressure, naiyak ako.”
