On September 4, Viva stars Tiffany Grey and Apple Dy considered Nadine Lustre and Pia Wurtzbach as empowered women.
At the media conference for ‘Punit na Langit,’ which LionhearTV covered, Grey highlighted how she considered Lustre empowered with her freedom to choose what she wanted with her life.
“Sa akin po si Nadine Lustre po, sobrang idol ko po talaga siya kasi alam niyo po, ‘yung nakikita ko po din na sobrang empowered niya and ‘yung gusto niyang gawin, ‘yun ‘yung pina-follow niya sa life niya. Wala siyang pakielam sa mga nangba-bash sa kanya. Like sa skin niya, sobrang proud niya sa sarili niya. And ‘yun po ‘yung ina-idolize ko, and siya po ‘yung ina-idolize ko dito sa industry.”
Dy deemed Wurtzbach as an empowered woman with her successes in life.
“Pia Wurtzbach po, I think she’s a very empowered woman, and super successful niya, and mayroon siyang ginawang book recently, and she’s happy, married. Marami din siyang organizations na recently ginagawa about sa women empowerment din po.”
As for their preparations for their role in ‘Punit na Langit,’ Grey recounted how she prepared for some of the intense scenes in the upcoming Vivamax film.
“Honestly po, sa totoo po, sobrang hirap po para sa akin. Kasi, ‘yung scene po na ‘yung kailangan mong gawin ‘to kasi wala kang choice, wala akong choice, kailangan ko mag-pretend na nasasarapan ako, na okay ako, pero after that doon ko binuhos lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko while ginangbang nila ako.Â
“And ang hirap po kasi, ngayon po nanginginig po talaga kasi bumalik po ‘yung character as in, sobrang, hindi po talaga basta-basta mag-out ng character sa scene na ‘yun.”
As for Dy, she discussed her preparations for her role as someone who could not speak.
“Sobrang kinabahan ako, paano ko gagawin na hindi ako magsasalita with the emotion and expressions. So ang preparation ko is nagtanong ako sa mga relatives na pipe, paano sila nagco-communicate. Pero si Dyosa po is hindi siya nakapag-aral ng sign language, pero marunong siyang magsulat at magbasa, so ‘yun po ‘yung ginamit niyang communication using the pen and the notebook.”
