00:00
Before Widow's War ends, you can share with us your journey and experience in taping, working, or the entire show of Widow's War.
00:20
And of course, we also want to know what you miss the most from the set or from your co-stars.
00:28
Okay, let's start with Charlie. She's so excited to answer.
00:32
I'm not smiling. I'm still loading.
00:39
For me, as an actress, Widow's War is my first show.
00:44
I did guesting for Royal Blood.
00:46
And I was casted for Royal Blood.
00:48
So, this is my first time acting.
00:50
And I'm so happy. It was so cool.
00:52
And I was just starting.
00:54
Why?
00:55
Because I had to adjust on the set.
00:58
Because it's really different in the workshop and on the set.
01:01
And it's really different when you have your character.
01:04
Because?
01:05
Because you have to see yourself or you have to see the world in your character's view.
01:12
So, I had to take that in.
01:14
And I didn't take it in right away.
01:16
So, now I realized that I have to do it step by step in my script as a character.
01:22
And I'm so happy that I got to learn Sofia.
01:25
So, thank you.
01:26
And congratulations. You did so well as Sofia.
01:29
But you were with the cast because the world is bigger now, right?
01:33
The workshop was limited.
01:36
But now, you have to work with not only your co-stars but also the production team.
01:43
I'm actually super happy because my co-stars are veterans.
01:47
So, I learned a lot.
01:49
I learned a lot from Sharon.
01:51
I learned a lot from Matthew and Ricky.
01:54
They're always so fun to be with.
01:56
You saw that we were really chill.
01:58
And that's what I really miss.
02:00
That separation anxiety.
02:02
I really cried when I realized that we were ending.
02:06
And it was the last taping day.
02:08
My heart was crying.
02:09
But as a heart, it kept going.
02:12
Yes, that's true.
02:13
That's right.
02:14
But you three were always close.
02:16
Yes.
02:17
How was your set-up?
02:21
You were always together.
02:22
I was always hanging out in their tent.
02:24
So, you were always together.
02:25
We were paying each other.
02:26
We were paying each other.
02:27
We were paying each other.
02:28
That's why you guys fit in the show.
02:30
That's why we're here today.
02:32
Correct.
02:33
Good job, Sofia.
02:36
I'll miss you, Sofia.
02:37
Ricky May.
02:38
Ricky was supposed to be Ricky but we wanted him to be Ricky May.
02:43
Because he's from Hawaii, right?
02:45
Yes.
02:46
He's from Hawaii.
02:47
Yes.
02:48
Ricky May.
02:49
But didn't Ricky go in towards the middle?
02:52
Yes, he went in towards the middle.
02:54
Actually, like Charlie, this is also my first tennis area ever.
03:00
That's why I'm always nervous whenever there's a call or taping.
03:05
How do you feel nervous?
03:06
Like this.
03:07
Like this.
03:11
So, I entered in the middle.
03:14
Because someone left the family.
03:18
Fion, right?
03:20
DJ.
03:21
She has a theater.
03:23
So, I entered in the middle.
03:25
I was so excited.
03:26
And then, my mom is still with me.
03:29
My mom is Miss Jackie Lu.
03:30
Yes.
03:31
Shout out to Jackie Lu.
03:32
Miss Jackie Lu Blanco.
03:33
Wow.
03:34
We miss you.
03:35
I hope my mom watches Miss Jackie Lu.
03:36
She should.
03:37
She should.
03:38
She should.
03:39
Miss Jackie.
03:40
And, my dears, she's one of the kindest.
03:44
I want to call her an angel.
03:48
Your mom is so kind.
03:51
Even if you don't know each other, you feel like you've known each other for a long time.
03:55
Because of her aura and everything.
03:57
So, shout out to you, Miss Jackie Lu Blanco.
04:00
Yay.
04:01
That's it.
04:02
But, was it an advantage that Miss Jackie was there?
04:06
Actually, she was surprised when I told her.
04:09
No, she was super excited.
04:10
She didn't know because my manager, Tito Rams, called me.
04:14
And, she was so excited.
04:16
Oh, my gosh.
04:17
We're together now.
04:19
But, it was a pressure for me.
04:21
For me.
04:22
It was a pressure.
04:23
Because?
04:24
Because, of course, especially me.
04:25
I started in showbiz a bit late.
04:28
So, I feel like I'm absorbing everything.
04:30
I'm observing.
04:31
So, there's an extra pressure when you know that you're lacking.
04:35
Yes.
04:36
So, you're conscious of your art.
04:39
Yes.
04:40
It's a good thing that our scenes are usually on the other side.
04:43
She's with the cinematographer.
04:44
So, you're not always on the same scene?
04:46
No.
04:47
Okay.
04:48
But, before Widow's War, before you were called, did you have a workshop?
04:51
Or, did you go out to other shows?
04:54
I didn't go out to other shows yet.
04:56
But, I joined the Public Workshop of Sparkle.
04:58
Actually, that's where we first met.
05:00
Yes.
05:01
That's where we first met.
05:02
Yes.
05:03
We didn't expect that we'd be in the same show.
05:04
We didn't expect that we'd be in the same show.
05:05
Yes.
05:06
It's fun, right?
05:07
Yes.
05:08
It's a big reunion.
05:09
But, Ms. Jackie didn't know about it during the set, right?
05:13
No.
05:14
She just found out.
05:15
I think, I called her once.
05:17
Our BM told her about it.
05:19
Of course, she was excited.
05:20
She was happy.
05:21
But, she was on the scene of Widow's War.
05:23
Yes.
05:24
But, we didn't look at each other.
05:25
It's like we have an eye-to-eye.
05:26
I'm just looking at you.
05:27
Why?
05:28
I'm laughing.
05:29
I'm laughing at you, too.
05:31
Yes.
05:32
So, that's what we do.
05:33
Sometimes, I'm always laughing.
05:34
Rico is my character.
05:36
Yes, Rico.
05:37
I'm always laughing.
05:38
Rico is the one who's laughing.
05:39
Yes, Rico is the one who's laughing.
05:40
He's my character.
05:42
But, in the ending,
05:43
But, in the ending,
05:44
and people already know this,
05:45
I'm one of the palatial skills.
05:48
Yes.
05:49
Congrats.
05:50
We were surprised.
05:51
Rico is from America.
05:52
Yes.
05:53
I'm from America.
05:55
Right?
05:56
The English lines.
05:57
It's like your character is not playing.
05:58
Your name.
05:59
Yes.
06:00
But, you know,
06:01
But, you know,
06:02
when you were called,
06:03
that you'll be one of the...
06:04
That's right.
06:05
We just got to know
06:06
about the final script.
06:08
Really?
06:09
So, we were all surprised
06:10
that you'll be there.
06:12
Because, it means
06:13
that you'll have a big role.
06:15
Because,
06:16
it's been a long time
06:17
from the start
06:18
who will die
06:19
is what the viewers
06:20
are thinking about.
06:21
is what the viewers
06:22
are thinking about.
06:23
I mean,
06:24
you're the one
06:25
who's with Kenneth.
06:26
Yes, it's like
06:27
the mastermind is Jericho
06:28
or Royce.
06:29
That's right.
06:30
So, he's like our boss.
06:31
We're the...
06:33
killers.
06:34
Minions.
06:35
Minions.
06:36
Correct.
06:37
Yes.
06:38
How do you kill?
06:39
Can you give us an example?
06:42
Can you give us an example
06:43
to Matthew?
06:45
No.
06:46
I can do that.
06:47
You can't do that.
06:48
That's your brother.
06:49
Weapon.
06:50
Yes.
06:51
No, no.
06:52
No, no.
06:53
Why would I help you?
06:54
Because,
06:55
when you'll start,
06:56
Charlie,
06:57
it's okay
06:58
but this one
06:59
is a killer.
07:00
That's why.
07:01
It's heavy.
07:02
It's a killer.
07:03
That's why.
07:04
So, how is that?
07:05
That's why,
07:06
I'm really thankful
07:07
to TNA.
07:09
To Tijuana.
07:10
Yes.
07:11
And to our creatives,
07:12
to Sir RJ,
07:13
Sir Obed.
07:14
Because,
07:15
the character
07:16
of Jericho
07:17
and the guards
07:18
is really good.
07:20
The guards, right?
07:21
Yes.
07:22
And the depth
07:23
of your character.
07:24
Yes.
07:25
That's it.
07:26
It's a good experience.
07:27
Aside from your mom,
07:28
who will you miss the most?
07:29
Who will I miss?
07:30
I'm kidding.
07:31
I'm just kidding.
07:33
Actually,
07:34
to be honest,
07:35
all of them.
07:36
Because,
07:37
for me,
07:38
our cast
07:39
became a family.
07:41
And also,
07:42
I think,
07:43
it's an advantage
07:44
that...
07:45
Excuse me.
07:46
It's okay.
07:47
It's okay.
07:48
Sorry.
07:50
It's really an advantage.
07:51
Tissue.
07:52
Yes.
07:53
It's okay.
07:54
We're taking care
07:55
of Ms. May here.
07:56
Yes.
07:57
I'm sorry.
07:58
Anyways,
07:59
excuse me.
08:00
But Rikki,
08:01
your advantage
08:02
is that
08:03
you're the
08:04
mom and dad
08:05
of Director Rikki Davao
08:06
and his mom.
08:07
Yes.
08:08
They're my children.
08:11
I'm the daughter
08:12
of Director Rikki Davao
08:13
and Ms. Jackie Lubrang.
08:15
Yes.
08:16
That's your advantage.
08:17
I mean,
08:18
you didn't have
08:19
a culture shock
08:20
on set.
08:21
Yes.
08:22
Actually,
08:23
when I was growing up,
08:24
they brought me
08:25
to the set.
08:26
Actually,
08:27
to GMA shows.
08:28
So,
08:29
some people
08:30
would come up to me
08:31
and say,
08:32
when you were young,
08:33
when you were a mom,
08:34
you would just sleep
08:35
on the table
08:36
of your dad.
08:37
Yes.
08:38
So,
08:39
I think that's why
08:40
I wanted to bring this
08:41
because the exposure
08:42
is adorable.
08:43
Yes.
08:44
That's right.
08:45
Wow.
08:46
I see that
08:47
in future projects
08:48
like that.
08:49
Matthew,
08:50
do you want to answer
08:51
or are you okay?
08:52
Okay.
08:53
Okay.
08:54
Matthew,
08:55
about the
08:56
Widow's War.
08:57
For me,
08:58
at first,
08:59
of course,
09:00
there's the intimidation,
09:01
the tension,
09:02
the...
09:03
Charlie said
09:04
that it's tough.
09:05
Yes.
09:06
Because
09:07
it's different
09:08
when you're on set.
09:09
What you learn
09:10
in the workshop,
09:11
it's like
09:12
it's like
09:13
it's like
09:14
your weapon.
09:15
Yes.
09:16
But it's not enough.
09:17
It's like
09:18
you need to learn
09:19
how to use it.
09:20
Yes.
09:21
Lots.
09:22
And then,
09:23
of course,
09:24
I'll miss my
09:25
co-actors
09:26
because
09:27
they really supported me.
09:28
Not just the directors,
09:30
they were there
09:32
to teach me.
09:33
Charlie,
09:34
do you remember?
09:35
Yes.
09:36
When we were having a hard time acting,
09:37
they were there.
09:38
Direk Zing,
09:39
Direk Jerry.
09:40
We were in the workshop.
09:41
Oh,
09:42
I'm crying.
09:43
And then,
09:44
of course,
09:45
we'll miss
09:46
our bonding
09:47
together
09:48
with
09:49
Ricky May
09:50
and Charlie.
09:51
Wow.
09:53
They'll miss you.
09:55
We love Ricky May so much.
09:57
Wow.
09:58
Why is that?
09:59
Nothing.
10:00
He's a big help.
10:01
Yes.
10:02
Is he a kind person
10:04
or does he share...
10:05
Sometimes.
10:06
Oh, I'm sorry.
10:07
No,
10:08
it's just that
10:09
we always gossip about him.
10:11
Yes,
10:12
he's always in the tent
10:13
with the boys.
10:14
Yes.
10:15
Sometimes,
10:16
he puts me there
10:17
so I learn a lot
10:18
from the boys.
10:19
Yes.
10:20
Sometimes,
10:21
he's in the tent.
10:22
Yes.
10:23
We always go around.
10:24
You go around.
10:25
Wow.
10:26
Matthew and I
10:27
gossiped about him
10:28
when we were in the tent.
10:29
Yes.
10:30
He's the one
10:31
who backs us up.
10:32
Yes.
10:33
So,
10:34
anyway,
10:35
congratulations to you guys.
10:37
But,
10:38
I'll just say this.
10:39
Didn't you have a hard time
10:40
working with the veterans?
10:41
Ricky May has an advantage
10:43
because
10:44
he's not
10:45
on the set.
10:46
But,
10:47
working with
10:48
Sir Tonton Gutierrez,
10:49
Jean Garcia,
10:50
Miss Lovely,
10:51
Blanque Rivero,
10:52
who are the veterans
10:53
that you worked with?
10:54
There.
10:55
You didn't get to see them.
10:56
Miss Timmy.
10:57
Timmy Cruz.
10:58
Yes,
10:59
that's right.
11:00
Shout out,
11:01
Miss Timmy.
11:02
We love you,
11:03
Miss Timmy.
11:04
Is she also
11:05
watching us?
11:06
If you're watching,
11:07
shout out to
11:08
Miss Timmy Cruz.
11:09
What's Miss Timmy's
11:10
favorite song?
11:11
I love you,
11:12
boy.
11:13
There.
11:14
Boy.
11:15
Yes,
11:16
that's good.
11:17
Okay,
11:19
you can continue.
11:20
I don't want to.
11:21
I don't have a boyfriend.
11:22
So, you're a couple?
11:23
Didn't you have a love team?
11:25
That's where the show is.
11:26
I prepared for it.
11:27
Because Charlie
11:28
looks at you differently
11:29
when he's on X-ray.
11:30
Because I'm with Charlie.
11:31
What?
11:32
Yay!
11:33
Wait a minute.
11:34
Yes, guys.
11:35
Okay, wait a minute.
11:36
You're a couple.
11:37
Okay,
11:38
so you didn't have a hard time
11:39
or
11:40
did someone
11:41
give you
11:42
pointers
11:43
that you remember
11:44
and you're like,
11:45
wow.
11:46
Working with Martin,
11:47
it's really hard.
11:48
With the veterans.
11:49
With the veterans.
11:50
Of course.
11:51
They're very nice.
11:52
They give us tips.
11:53
Especially with the blocking,
11:54
we have a hard time
11:55
with the blocking.
11:56
Because
11:57
we don't learn it
11:58
in the workshops.
11:59
So,
12:00
we don't learn it
12:01
there.
12:02
Yes, that's right.
12:03
Actually,
12:04
they're very giving,
12:05
right?
12:06
They are.
12:07
Very giving.
12:08
All of them.
12:09
They don't share
12:10
their knowledge.
12:11
And their sharing
12:12
is not like,
12:13
for example,
12:14
if there's something
12:15
that you need to
12:16
work on,
12:17
improve,
12:18
or something,
12:19
they don't get angry.
12:20
They're like,
12:21
hey, try this.
12:22
They really give

our scripts a lot.
12:28
And we talk about

certain emotions.
12:32
With them?
12:33
Yes, of course.
12:34
I talk to Miss Jackie
12:35

12:36
a certain emotion

and she's wonderful.
12:38
Wow.
12:39
You're so lucky, guys.
