00:00The year 2025 is Michael Sager's year
00:03because Sparkada Harthrob is the lead star of the newest GMA Prime series,
00:08My Ilonggo Girl,
00:09where she will be joined by the star of the new gen, Jillian Ward.
00:13How will she face the challenge of becoming a big soap in prime time?
00:18Let's find out all of that in Kapuso Insider.
00:22Up for the challenge is Michael
00:31when he was chosen to be the leading man of the Sparkle actress, Jillian Ward, in My Ilonggo Girl.
00:36This is not the first time the two worked together
00:39because they were already together in the hit GMA Afternoon Prime series,
00:43Abot Kamay na Pangarap,
00:44and Weekend at the Fantasia, Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko.
00:48Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko, Tikitik Talk
00:51was my first-ever appearance on GMA.
00:54It was also my acting debut.
00:58I was a capre there.
01:00Jill and I enjoyed it because I kept changing capres and transforming.
01:04It was fun because the story was very light.
01:08There was dancing and capre.
01:10We enjoyed it.
01:11Eventually, we met again in Abot Kamay na Pangarap.
01:15That's where we got to have more scenes
01:18that were more exciting and fun.
01:21I fell in love with Jill because Abot Kamay is a very fantastic show.
01:25She was a doctor there and I was one of her patients.
01:28I saw her skills, the terms, and the medical stuff that she did.
01:34I fell in love with her and eventually,
01:36the four of us became the lovers of Doc Annalyn.
01:42My experience in Abot Kamay was fun.
01:44Since Michael became part of the youth-oriented group Sparkada in 2022,
01:50the projects that he received followed suit.
01:53That's why the actor's heart is determined to give his best performance
01:57to be trusted by the home network.
02:00Again, I'm just very thankful to the Lord
02:02and to my managers, Cornerstone and Sparkle,
02:04and GMA, of course, that they have entrusted me with these projects,
02:08with these opportunities,
02:09something that I should never take for granted.
02:13I just promise and, of course, willingly give it my all, my best.
02:17The blood, the sweat, the tears, everything.
02:18To give it everything, really.
02:21I know I'm starting in this industry.
02:23I'm a rookie amongst veterans now,
02:26but the fact that I'm doing this to learn,
02:29to eventually improve in my craft,
02:30is a long-term goal for me.
02:32So, yeah, I'm just really happy that they have that trust in me.
02:37I just promise to always deliver my best
02:41not just for me, the managers, my supporters, and my family as well.
02:46Michael Sager is not only focused on his work
02:48because of his promising acting career,
02:49he's also focused on his goal of making a profit from his investments,
02:53such as buying property.
02:55Actually, when I first landed here in the Philippines,
02:57I started from zero.
02:58Because I'm not from here, I'm not a Filipino.
03:01I grew up in Canada.
03:02So, my car, our house, it's all in Canada.
03:05We don't have any house here.
03:06Currently, I live with my aunt.
03:08So, the first thing I already invested in was a car.
03:11So, that's my current car now.
03:13And my own property in a condo.
03:15So, all of the work I do, all the tapings,
03:18I save it all for direct investment.
03:20So, what's left for me is maybe a bit of entertainment
03:23or a bit to eat out.
03:25But as much as I can,
03:26I have a system in my mind that keeps me fueled.
03:31There's times when I feel burnt out.
03:32So, if that's the case, I'll take a vacation,
03:34relax for a bit, just do sports, something like that.
03:39Of course, I want to reward myself as much as possible.
03:41But sometimes, it's hard to be busy with a schedule.
03:44So, as much as I can, work, work, work.
03:46Don't miss out on the exciting moments
03:48of Michael Sager and Jillian Ward
03:50in My Ilonggo Girls on GMA Prime this 2025.
