She also recounted how she was approached for the role at an event with many ABS-CBN personalities. “Unexpected kasi nag-start talaga ‘yan nag-guest ako sa isang event na hindi ko alam na halos lahat pala ng nandu’n ay from ABS and then usap-usap (tsikahan with other guests) may nagsabi na, ‘alam mo bagay ka sa Batang Quiapo, kung bibigyan ka ba ng chance okay ka?’,” Domingo explained.
The actress also acknowledged the role of social media in promoting her character and the show’s success. Despite the initial confusion among fans, who thought Jessy Mendiola-Manzano was joining the series, Domingo clarified that it was indeed her role.
