On October 6, Kapuso artist Jillian Ward reacted to getting called as the star of the new generation.
At the media event for her month-long episode for ‘Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko Presents: Captain Kitten,’ Ward said she felt grateful for the ‘title.’ However, she maintained that she doesn’t let monickers get to her head.
“Siyempre, sobrang grateful po ako at nagulat po ako. Pero, sa akin po kasi kumbaga, kung ano ‘yung mga title na binibigay po sa akin, hindi ko po siya masyadong dinadamdam kumbaga.Â
“Hindi po siya masyadong nagsi-sink in sa akin. Minsan nga po, lumalabas ako nakakalimutan ko po na artista po ako. Basta po sa akin talaga, ine-enjoy ko lang ‘yung ginagawa ko.”
She also emphasized how she wanted to focus on enjoying her acting career rather than gaining monickers.
“Kumbaga may title man o wala, although grateful ako na ganon ‘yung naiisip nila sa akin, ganon ‘yung tawag nila sa akin for me po kasi, mas importante po kasi na nae-enjoy ko po ‘yung ginagawa ko na trabaho wala man pong title or wala. Minsan nalilimutan ko po talaga siya, nalilimutan ko pong artista po ako.”
She also talked about her plans for her acting career, particularly with working on different genres.
“Well, marami po talaga akong plans of course, gusto ko po na, sinasabi ko po nga parati na, gusto ko po magawa lahat ng genre sa acting. Gusto ko po mag-action, mag-comedy, drama, thriller, lahat po ‘yan gusto ko po madaanan.Â
“Doon naman po sa pagpe-pair, sa akin naman po wala naman talagang problema, lalo po kung inside the show. Kung sino po ang ipapares sa akin.”
