00:00We will now watch the character of Ashley Ortega, Sister Manuela Apolonio.
00:09She is one of the comfort women in Pulang Araw.
00:12She is also one of the Japanese soldiers who are being harassed in the series.
00:17First, the acting stint is the biggest family drama.
00:20Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
00:23Good day, Sir. Gentlemen.
00:29After introducing Sister Manuela Apolonio,
00:33who is played by Ashley Ortega in the Jemay Prime Family Drama,
00:38in Pulang Araw,
00:39her story from being a mother to being a comfort woman will be revealed.
00:48This is a big challenge for Ashley, but she is committed to the story.
00:54It's such a big responsibility for me to portray their narrative.
00:58And I really want to give justice to the role.
01:01For all the comfort women,
01:04I will help them because I think it's about time for their stories to be heard.
01:12Help me, I'm begging you.
01:14However, there are people who will be waiting for her behind the scenes.
01:23Yes, there is a story.
01:24There are also flashbacks of how she became a mother.
01:30A lot of people will be surprised because Sister Manuela also has a transition.
01:34I don't want to say it.
01:36Aside from Colonel Yuta Saito, who is played by Dennis Trillo,
01:43another Japanese character is played by the old men.
01:48He is Akiyo, aside from the face card of J. Ortega.
01:53A lot of people also noticed his talent in acting as a Japanese soldier.
02:01My preparation for the character of Akiyo is,
02:05I used to watch movies about war, about the Japanese Imperial Army.
02:12And of course, the scripts, reading the scripts,
02:16how I will feel when I play Akiyo.
02:21J has no background in acting.
02:24It was his first time to audition for an acting project in the red sun.
02:31I get excited when I see comments that acknowledge my character.
02:38J is known for his kindness towards Barbie, Sanya, David, and Alden,
02:44as well as Dennis as co-workers.
02:48At first, I was nervous, but eventually, I got over it because
02:52Sir Dennis also helps me when I'm on set.
02:55He also gives me tips on acting, on how to execute it right.
03:04He also relaxes me before we go on set.
03:07J also said, wait for the red sun,
03:10to see what bad things Akiyo will bring.
03:15Wait for what will happen in the next episodes.
03:18Maybe there will be more problems because of me.
03:22There will be more evilness from Akiyo.
