On July 7, actress-businesswoman Ara Mina said ‘Magandang Araw’ is her first solo show throughout her 30 years in show business.
During the media conference for the lifestyle show ‘Magandang Araw’ at the Net25 Compound in Quezon City, Ara Mina emphasized the value of not giving up on her dreams, such as landing her first solo show.
“First solo show– first ko po. Di ba, kailan ako nagkaroon ng ganitong show, wala po. Only on Net25. In 30 years, kaya nga po wag po tayong mag-give up sa mga dreams natin.”
When asked about her dream interview, she said, “Dream interview, marami, marami akong gustong interview-hin. So let’s see.”
She then discussed her hands-on involvement with the production of ‘Magandang Araw.’
“Minsan TC ako, minsan location manager, minsan script writer, at isang episode dito, ako ang nag-direct. At minsan cameraman na rin ‘yung dating ko dito kasi sinasabi ko sa camera man, ‘Dito ang shot, mag-start dito, tapos gaganunin mo dito, shooting down. Tapos ganyan. Wag ganyan, kasi ‘yung ano malaki tignan, so dito, left–ay right angle ako.’
“So it’s a very hands-on show. Talagang very hands-on ako dito, talagang umiiyak na ako minsan kasi hindi pala biro ang gumawa ng isang show. Sabi ko talk show lang ‘to, pero hindi, hindi ganon kabiro, sobrang madetalye, pati editing nakikielam ako sa editing.”
Ara Mina began her showbiz career in 1993 via the movie ‘Manchichiritchit.’ Her notable projects include ‘Mano Po’ (2002), ‘Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa’ (2003), and ‘Minsan Pa’ (2004).
‘Magandang Araw’ starts airing on Net25 on July 15, Saturday at 3 pm.
