On February 25, actor-politician Alfred Vargas detailed how he could work as an actor and as a public servant.
At the media conference for ‘AraBella’, Vargas highlighted that he has a lighter schedule as a councilor.
Vargas explained, “I’ve got so much time now that I’m a councilor kasi ang laki ng diperensya sa schedule na happy na happy lang talaga ako. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord, God, at sa GMA Kapuso Network, dahil nagagwa ko ‘yung dalawang bagay na pinakamamahal ko. ‘Yung makapag lingkod at tsaka makapag-arte.”
He then attributed his motivation to continue pursuing acting to the people he’s working with, especially at ‘AraBella’.
The actor-politician shared, “Unang-una ang sarap magpunta sa set ng Arabella, thanks to Miss A, Direk Adolf, Direk Rene, tsaka ‘yung co-actors ko, naramdaman ko talaga ‘yung chemistry. I also have two girls na halos magka-edad na 11 and 12, na parang lumabas sa akin ‘yung pagka-tatay ko talaga sa kanila, na kahit sa maliliit na bagay na mga eksena. Pero, dito kasi sa amin, nagtutulungan kami, kapag may eksena ang isa, eksena mo ‘yan, kapag eksena ko naman, tutulungan naman nila ako.”
He then expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work on a Kapuso series full-time. He furthered, “I’m just so grateful na kasama ako sa project na ‘to full time, and una nagpapasalamat ako kasi I can do the two most things I love the most, ‘yun ‘yung serving people and acting…sobrang laking bagay din nitong pagbabalik ko din, and many sorts, and dito sa AraBella, na full length talaga ‘yung role.”
