Tinuruan mo akong maniwala muli sa sarili ko.
Sa umpisa ay may hesitations ako. Dahil siguro bago ang medium, may pagkakaiba sa lenggwahe, o baka dahil siya si Melissa Leo. Pero dali-dali niyang binali ‘yon. Wala siyang sinayang na oras at pagkakataon upang magbahagi ng karanasan niya sa industriya—lalo ang mga karanasan niya bilang aktor, bilang anak, bilang ina, at bilang tao.
Sa limang araw na lock-in workshop na ito, araw-araw ay may pananabik. Para akong batang excited makinig sa mga kwento niya, sa mga ituturo niya, sa mga quotable phrases na ibabahagi niya. Ang gaan, ang affirming, at may pag-iingat ang espasyong nabuo para sa lahat. Hindi lang techniques eh, puso ang ibinahagi niya. May puso dapat sa ginagawa at paggawa.
Sa mga co-actors na bahagi ng workshop na ito— maraming salamat sa pagiging bukas at sa generosity ninyo. Ang sarap matuto kasama kayo, ang saya basagin ng mga preconceived impressions natin sa iba’t ibang medium—independent o mainstream platforms man. Dahil sa huli ay may iisa tayong denominator.
Maraming salamat sa pribilehiyo at oportunidad na ito @aktorph , @fdcpofficial , at @festfilmlab . Sana mas marami pa ang maabot at maging bahagi ng initiative na ito para sa mga aktor.
Sa limang araw na iyon, hindi lang scene work ang nabuo; may mga takot na nabitawan, may kumpiyansang tahimik na bumalik, at palagi ko itong babaunin.
See you on set! 🎬💫
One workshop and suddenly all of us got way too attached 😭🎬
It’s honestly so nice seeing artists from @sparklegmaartistcenter , @starmagicphils , @starworx_ph , and @aktorph all come together in one space — learning together, creating together, and somehow becoming friends so quickly. Thank you @fdcpofficial and @filmlabss
From doing scenes, sharing stories during breaks, laughing over random things, and hyping each other up the entire time… this workshop became more than just a workshop 🤍
Didn’t expect to leave with this many genuine connections and core memories already.
Higit sa oportunidad na makatrabaho ang mga mahuhusay na aktor at batikan na direktor sa industriyang ito, isang karangalan para sa akin ang maging bahagi ng pelikulang ito.
Pelikulang tinatalakay ang kakayahan, tapang, at dunong ng mga kababaihan. Ang karahasan dinanas ng mga Pilipino sa panahon ng pananakop ng mga Amerikano. Ang pag-aklas, at pagkamit ng kalayaan, sa sarili nilang paraan.
Sana po ay panoorin ninyo ang aming pelikula sa mga sinehan. Kuwentong napapanahon at dapat mapanood ng lahat. @sisamovie , now showing in 175+ cinemas nationwide.

Ngayong buwan ng kababaihan, sama-sama nating tunghayan ang kuwento ng katapangan, paglaban, at lakas ng kababaihan.
Sana po’y mapanood ninyo ang aming pelikula— mula sa cinematography, hanggang sa production design, maingat na trinabaho upang mabigyan buhay ang isang matapang at makapangyarihan na kuwento.
Mula sa panulat at pagdidirehe ni Direk Jun Robles Lana. Sama-sama nating panuorin sa mga sinehan ang SISA, ngayong March 4, 2026 na!
POV: It’s been 8 years since you last performed on the FBHS stage.
Eight years ago since I last performed at Kuta Bonifacio. The school that shaped me, allowed me to dream big, and trusted me in so many ways. Back in my JHS years, I had the privilege of representing the school in singing competitions, Balagtasan, Masining na Pagkukuwento, and even serving Bonificians. Lowkey amazed at my younger self… (kasi ang dami nyang gustong gawin).
Walking back into that stage brought so much nerves, so much love, and so much nostalgia. I won’t lie, I was nervous. Not because of pressure, but because of how much this moment mesnt. Performing again in your alma mater, in the very place that built you, feels different. It’s like facing your younger self and realizing how far you’ve come, yet how much of that same dreamer still lives in you.
Hearing the cheers from my former professors and advisers; the same people who once rooted for me as a student, was something I’ll never forget. Their smiles and warm hugs felt like a quiet reassurance that I’m still that kid they once believed in.
Thank you so much, Ma’am Matet, for inviting me to be part of the 80th Founding Anniversary of Kuta Bonifacio. It truly means a lot to be welcomed back not just as a former student, but as someone you still remember and support.
To Sir Castro, Ma’am Carrie, Ma’am Acedera, Ma’am Cayetano, and Ma’am Dela Peña, and Ma’am Mantilla—thank you for the warm welcome and the hugs. Being back on that stage reminded me where everything started.
Forever grateful for this experience, it reminded me of something I’d almost forgotten. See you again soon!
