00:00The genre of your film is horror, thriller, suspense.

00:03In Hollywood now, you're more noticeable for the substance.

00:07And their reaction is, finally, there's an acting piece for horror, suspense.

00:14Do you think, locally speaking, it's harder to be noticed as an actress if that is your genre?

00:20I think, ultimately, if that were the goal, it is really very difficult to achieve.

00:25I think for us, or at least I'd like to speak for myself,

00:29in terms of being recognized, it is something that just follows.

00:35At least for me.

00:36The main goal for me is really to affect the audience.

00:39That's what I always think about.

00:42If you think, okay, you're a monster, and you think,

00:48you need to be noticed when you're here, when you act here,

00:51or you need to be recognized when you act here,

00:54it's really hard to be at par with the kind of standard that you're putting up for yourself.

00:59I'd like to think that any particular project, movie like ours,

01:04is always a collaborative effort.

01:06While I want to top the best that I have done prior to this project,

01:11I also don't want to take away the amazing abilities of those I am working with at the moment.

01:18I am part of, so I'm a member of the academy for IMs.

01:23I judge for them.

01:24I judge also for Asian Academy almost yearly,

01:28and also a permanent member of the Asian Academy.

01:31So when you are part of an academy and award-giving bodies that are international,

01:36you get to see the whole different world that they can also offer.

01:41So you can see the difference of what we do here in the Philippines,

01:45and the difference in everything.

01:55So the timing of everything is also different.

01:59And much as I want to compare my timing to theirs,

02:02and even our timing as a film industry in the Philippines to theirs,

02:09we are still far from that.

02:11To be frank, in terms of technicality, it's really hard.

02:15The equipment they use, we are striving always for that.

02:21Which means money.

02:22Yeah, and training.

02:24Because in Hollywood, they only take one film a year, two, maybe the most.

02:31They have time to prepare, lose the weight, gain the weight, transform.

02:36While in the Philippines, we're not as fortunate just yet.

02:40I'd like to believe that we'll also get there.

02:42Because we adapt so fast.

02:44We really need people to trust us.

02:48And if we don't have money from here,

02:51why won't we be open to producers?

03:08So you can see, it's not just caretakers.

03:13I know that the premise is to really bring caretakers outside of the country,

03:21so to your question,

03:24I feel that when it comes to acting in terms of an actress,

03:30you can't compare them to how they do it abroad

03:34because their stories are different.

03:36Substance, when you do it here,

03:38our reception is different, I would assume.

03:41There's a correlation because I haven't watched it yet.

03:44But I'm sure you get what I mean.

03:46It's really different.

03:48Because their culture is different from ours.

03:50And our gauges are different.

03:52I'd like to think that Filipinos,

03:55it's not the same playing field.

03:58It's not higher, it's not lower, it's not equal,

04:02but it's different.

04:03Because our storytelling as people, as actors,

04:07are so different from how they tell their stories.

04:10So once we get a hold of who we truly are,

04:14as artists, as creative, as Filipino,

04:17having that DNA in all of us,

04:19and not be able to compare our work

04:21to the kind of work that they do,

04:23what they achieve, what gets recognized there,

04:25that's when we will all really truly thrive as a film industry.

04:30Because we can embrace fully what we can give.

04:37It's hard because when you watch it,

04:39I get what you mean.

04:41Acting here,

04:43you do it now after so many decades.

04:46But it's really hard.

04:50My question is, in the Philippines,

04:52do you think that when your piece is a suspense or horror,

04:55is it more difficult for you to like,

04:58to consider for acting, whatever?

05:02I truly understand your point,

05:05and I love it and I do agree with everything that Dimkos has said.

05:09But I have a very precise answer to your question.

05:15Because this is partly my main genre.

05:20Horror and suspense, perhaps.

05:25And I have been recognized,

05:28and I say this with all gratitude and humility,

05:32not arrogance.

05:36It was in Sigaw that I received

05:41my Urian Award for Best Supporting Actress.

05:47I haven't had another one since then.

05:49I've done a lot of drama films.

05:52So I think for you, it's easier.

05:54It's not easier.

05:58I'll get to that later.

06:00And then in Bliss,

06:02that was when I received a citation in Osaka.

06:06And that is like a suspense horror kind of film.

06:14So it's not really always about the genre.

06:19It is about the story.

06:21It is about how you did in that film.

06:28It's the role.

06:30It's the timing.

06:32It's...

06:35It's a lot of things.

06:37But to say that it is harder to be recognized,

06:42because maybe what they're talking about is like

06:45mainstream horror.

06:47But I think suspense, like a David Lynch film,

06:50would probably be kind of like suspense.

06:53No, it shouldn't be hard.

06:55But maybe how...

06:57If you compare it to a drama of a Meryl Streep,

07:02but of course, it really depends on the material.

07:07So, and the role.

07:09And again, Demi Moore, maybe playing this before,

07:12would not have been able to deliver as much.

07:14I don't know.

07:15I don't know her personally.

07:17But maybe it is really timing.

07:20It came to her hands at the perfect time.

07:22And then in terms of just...

07:28Because Dimples touched on this,

07:30which is not part of your question per se.

07:34But us Filipinos, knowing who we are,

07:39and really staying true to our roots,

07:43and really, I think, telling Filipino stories,

07:48and then being funded by the Philippines,

07:51and even properly funded.

07:54I think Filipino talent, I really will say,

08:01is worthy of and is capable of doing so many things.

08:09If it's talent, we do not lack that.

08:13But we are getting, every year, closer and closer to...

08:18Always just getting better.

08:20But we, I think, are at the cusp of just...

08:28We always say, Korea, how did Korea do this?

08:31I think we are very capable of bringing our culture

08:35and our talent outside of the Philippines,

08:39whether it be regional or on the global platform.

08:41I think we can really be at par

08:45with how excellent we are in terms of talent.

08:49Now, the other things, we are working on them.
