00:00Green Bones is still showing in more than 170 cinemas nationwide,
00:05but we're looking forward to seeing Lulu Madrid return to TV.
00:08Let's see what she learned before she became MMFF's Best Supporting Actor.
00:13Aside from winning the first acting award in a movie,
00:16she's also thankful for the unwavering support of her girlfriend, Bianca Umali.
00:20She sat down for the GMA Integrated News Interview with Chika, by Nelson Canlas.
00:26Best Supporting Actor, please.
00:31Lulu Madrid's many sacrifices paid off
00:35when she was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role
00:39in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 for the movie Green Bones,
00:44her first acting award for a movie.
00:49She studied the personality and every move of her character,
00:54she took it away from her true personality.
00:57The result, a profound development in the movie
01:01that earned her recognition as Best Picture in Parangal Night.
01:08I also did something here that my acting coach tried,
01:12that I use a scent,
01:15and in that scent, every time I use it,
01:19it's easier for me to get into my character.
01:23Because when I smell it, I'm Javier.
01:28She didn't expect this kind of recognition,
01:32that Ruru admitted, she waited for a long time.
01:35Especially, she went through a lot of trials and sacrifices.
01:40That's what served as a fuel for me to work harder.
01:44At first, I thought, I won't be affected by it,
01:47I can do it because not everything they say is true.
01:50But I didn't know that I was affected deep inside.
01:54And that's what serves as a motivation for me,
01:57not just to prove myself to them,
01:59but also to prove it to myself,
02:02that I'm deserving for everything that I'm receiving now.
02:06Of course, I don't want to betray the people who believe in me.
02:10Ruru knows that she's not the first choice for her character.
02:15But the Lord intended for her to get the role.
02:19That's why she did everything she could
02:23to deserve the chance to be a part of the movie.
02:27And after she got the award,
02:30her perspective on acting changed.
02:35She put more importance on every aspect of what she's doing,
02:40including her participation in the upcoming action drama series, Lolong,
02:45where she admitted that she's exhausted because of the daily training.
02:52That's what I want people to feel,
02:55the feeling of being exhausted in the process.
03:00What I treasure the most is the process before you get it.
03:09Ruru also thanked his girlfriend, Bianca Umali,
03:13who showed great support from the start
03:17until she achieved one of the milestones of her showbiz career.
03:22I told myself that I wouldn't be where I am now
03:28if I didn't get to know Bianca.
03:31Why do you always get teary-eyed when you talk about Bianca?
03:35Because I love that person so much.
03:41The best gift I've ever received in my life
03:48is that Bianca came into my life.
03:51I can't explain how much I value her and how important she is to me.
03:58Do you see yourself settling down in the near future?
04:02If I could, I'd settle down now.
04:06For me, Nelson, why would you delay something you've already found?
04:13I know that I won't be able to find someone like Bianca.
