On August 18, celebrity couple Aljur Abrenica and AJ Raval detailed how they handle bashers while working on a project together.
At the media conference for ‘Sugapa,’ which LionhearTV covered, Raval remarked that she uses ‘hate comments’ about her performance as an artist to improve herself as an actress.
“Sa mga hate comments naman po, ako tine-take ko ‘yung ng– kunwari pagdating sa acting, tine-take ko ‘yun ng compliment, para at least kapag gagawin na namin ‘yung mga ganitong eksena, mabasa ko ‘yung ganong comment, sa susunod na magtratrabaho ako ulit may improvement po lagi. Hindi man po ganon kagaling, lagi naman pong nandoon ‘yung improvement.”
As Abrenica, he acknowledged that ‘bashers’ and ‘hate comments’ come with the territory as an actor.
“Sa akin naman kasi, ‘yung mga bashers, hindi talaga siya nawawala eh. Ako, I just know what’s my priority. So it doesn’t cross my mind, kapag may ganitong mga comments about us or me. Nagpo-focus– hindi ko na binibigyan ng panahon, naka-focus talaga ako sa pelikula while doing this.
“Normal na siya. Hindi na siya ano.”
Raval then highlighted what she learned from Abrenica when handling ‘bashers.’
“Si AJ po, siyempre bago ako sa showbiz, mas bata po ako sa kaniya, ako po noong una medyo naaapektuhan ako pero nakikita ko po sa kaniya na wala lang, sanay na sanay na siya sa mga ganong mga klase ng tao.”
As for their upcoming film, ‘Sugapa’ stars Abrenica, Raval with Art Acuna, Archi Adamos, Lander Vera Perez, Lou Veloso, Jairus Aquino, Gwen Garci, Ana Abad Santos, and Tanya Gomez.
Under the direction of Lawrence Fajardo, ‘Sugapa’ streams on Vivamax starting August 25.
