On February 13, Viva artist Ralph Christian Engle recounted his seven-year relationship that ended in ‘Salisihan.’
At the media conference for the Vivamax movie Salisihan, which LionhearTV covered, Engle disclosed how his past relationship ended with his partner suddenly replacing him with someone else.
“Sa experience sa salisihan, mayroon na rin ako. ‘Yung seven years na naging jowa ko before maayos naman ‘yung relationship namin dati tapos nagulat na lang ako na kaibigan na lang daw ganyan. Tapos ayun may nangyarina sa kanila.”
As for his role in the upcoming Vivamax film, Engle cited the challenge of doing his first supporting lead.
“Para sa movie naman, sobrang challenging talaga niya. First time ko, wala pa talaga akong experience sa pagte-taping ng mga ganon. Ito yung first supporting lead ko kaya sobrang hirap sa akin kung paano ko i-adjust ko ‘yung sarili ko. Sinubukan ko naman lahat, kahit papaano naman na-guide nila ako ng maayos. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Direk Iar, kasi nasasabi niya kung ano ‘yung mga kailangan kong gawin.”
However, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity and for those who supported him during his first titled project.
“Ako naman po, nagpapasalamat ako kay Mommy Jojo kasi binigyan niya ko ng ganitong opportunity. Kasi noong una, pa-extra-extra lang talaga ‘yung gusto ko. Eh hindi ko inaasahan na pwede rin pala ako sa ganito, na kaya ko rin palang mag-supporting din.
“Kahit nakaka-pressure, kasi iba rin ‘yung ano eh, kapag nandoon ka na sa scene. Tapos kapag nanonood ka, akala mo deretso, pero pag nandoon ka na mismo ang hirap pala. Nakakatuwa. Marami pa akong matutunan dito. Sana more blessings pa.”
Salisihan stars Zsara Laxamana, Chester Garcia, Amabelle De Leon, and Ralph Christian Engle.
Under the direction of Iar Arondaing, Salisihan streams on February 27 via Vivamax.
