00:00So, we're here in Bumbayon, Hoknahok, at the number one KILIG miniseries of PRIMETIME, My Ilonggo Girl.
00:06And one of the revelations that everyone is looking forward to is the brand new look of Venice.
00:11And here, let's watch it.
00:20Surprise!
00:23Here's our live review.
00:26Wow!
00:28That camera focus is beautiful.
00:30The new look of Venice.
00:32Let's welcome My Ilonggo Girl star, Myrtle Sarasa.
00:35Good morning!
00:36Welcome to Tanon ng Palangga.
00:38Good morning to all of you.
00:40Wow, she's really Ilongga.
00:42Myrtle, please join us here.
00:44Good morning!
00:46Hello, good morning again.
00:48Good morning.
00:50Thank you so much for having me.
00:54Myrtle, how was your morning?
00:57Actually, I haven't slept yet.
00:59Really?
01:00Because you really sleep at night.
01:02So, you just passed the time.
01:04Yes, I really wanted to join you here in the early morning.
01:08I hope I won't wake up.
01:10So, I didn't sleep yet so that I can join you until the morning.
01:14Myrtle, your big reveal in My Ilonggo Girl was a huge success.
01:17What was your reaction when you found out that you will be the new look of Venice?
01:22Actually, I'm so grateful.
01:24I didn't expect that I will be casted for the role.
01:28Because when they were asking me to portray Venice,
01:31one of my concerns was my hair.
01:34Because when they asked me if I can play the role of Ilongga Girl,
01:37I think I haven't read the script for a week.
01:41So, I said, would it be possible?
01:44Then, they said that they really want a new look.
01:47Then, when they gave me the role,
01:48I said, wow, the character will be challenging.
01:51I know that it will be a controversial character.
01:55But, I'm always game for challenges.
01:57Myrtle is always game.
01:58How did you prepare for that challenging role?
02:01Did you study how Jill moves?
02:04Yes, a lot.
02:05So, I was given around a week to study the character.
02:09Then, every day, I was still in Japan.
02:12So, I studied how Jill moves every day.
02:15I watched My Ilonggo Girl, all the existing episodes for three times.
02:20What are her mannerisms?
02:24The challenging part of acting is,
02:26normally, when you're portraying a character,
02:28you have to build it from scratch.
02:30But for this, there's a character in scratch that you have to learn the modules.
02:34So, it was a lot, a lot, a lot more for extra challenges.
02:38Yes, correct.
02:39And Myrtle, you're really Ilongga, right?
02:41Yes.
02:42Because you were born and raised in Iloilo.
02:45Is that right?
02:46So, did your birth here affect your Ilongga?
02:50So, I was born and raised in Iloilo.
02:53That's where I was born.
02:54In Barota Club.
02:55That's where they're from.
02:56Yes, in Barota Club.
02:58Mayong Aga.
02:59Is Mayong Aga correct?
03:00Mayong Aga.
03:01Yes, Mayong Aga.
03:02But to be honest, I didn't use it for the character
03:05because Tata is the one who knows how to play Ilonggo.
03:08Venice is Ilonggo, but she's older.
03:11She's from Manila.
03:12Yes, Manila.
03:13So, normally, when we're set,
03:15the other cast will teach us how to pronounce the words.
03:19She became a dialect coach.
03:21Okay.
03:22She became a dialect coach.
03:23I taught them how to be gentle.
03:25Michael Vincent asked,
03:26how are you going to say this?
03:27Ah, it's hot.
03:29You need to add a little bit of gentleness.
03:32Because they know how to be gentle.
03:35Yes.
03:36I love your language.
03:37And speaking of Ilongga or your dialect,
03:40you have a trending audio version of Hiligaynon.
03:43The fine dining restaurant.
03:45And it went viral.
03:47I want to see. I haven't watched it yet.
03:49Let me see.
03:50Hiligaynon version.
03:51Hiligaynon?
03:52One night, I bumped into you.
03:54Oh, my God.
03:55You gave Papi a biscuit,
03:56and it fell on the floor.
03:59Oh, my God.
04:00I brought you to a fine dining restaurant, right?
04:02You see?
04:03When he squatted down,
04:04he should have bought a house.
04:06But it fell.
04:07Oh, my sister is here.
04:08She's so good.
04:09They want a live version.
04:11Yes.
04:12Live version.
04:13I can do it.
04:14I'll try my best.
04:16I haven't watched it yet.
04:17Because it's a specific one.
04:18But,
04:19I bumped into you, right?
04:21I squatted down,
04:22and it fell on the floor.
04:23I dropped you a biscuit.
04:26And what did you bring?
04:28It fell on the floor.
04:29And it fell on the floor.
04:30You should have bought a house.
04:33You should have bought a house.
04:34You should have bought a house.
04:35You should have bought a house.
04:36You should have bought a house.
04:38Yeah!
04:39Thank God.
04:40I was so lucky
04:41that I bought a house there.
04:45But,
04:46if something happened like that,
04:47when you dropped something,
04:48it's good that you have a house on a bench.
04:50I'm not good at it.
04:52What's kanbing?
04:55That's kanbing, too.
04:56She's good.
04:57But she's going to say kanding.
04:58Oh, I see.
04:59I'm lucky that I have a house on a bench.
05:01It's an expression.
05:03It's just like that.
05:04Merthay, thank you for that.
05:06How was your experience working with Jillian?
05:08Oh, I love it. I really love working with Jillian.
05:11She's one of the people on my checklist of actresses to work with.
05:16We had a project together before, but it didn't work out.
05:21So it was really a dream come true to work with her.
05:23That's so beautiful.
05:25And because of that, aside from working with SOR,
05:27you also collaborated with Jillian on TikTok.
05:29Yes!
05:31But she mentioned that she wants you to collab with her in cosplaying.
05:35Can we see that soon?
05:36It's already in the plans.
05:38It's already in our plans.
05:40Oh, Seger is there too?
05:41Yes!
05:42I'm looking forward to her ML cosplays.
05:45Yes, because she saw my Balmont cosplay.
05:48And she really mentioned that she wants us to do a cosplay together.
05:52So I said, I really want you to do a cosplay with me.
05:55Nice, nice. I'll look forward to it.
05:57Oh, for sure.
05:57She's a Kareena main.
05:58So I said, we can do a Kareena-Kareena cosplay as siblings.
06:02That's right!
06:03So you know all the characters?
06:04Yes, I know all the characters.
06:06All the characters of Mobile Legends.
06:09Yes, yes, yes.
06:10We'll look forward to that.
06:11And here's another question.
06:12You're watching the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition every night here at GMA, right?
06:16And you've also been a big winner in the Pinoy Big Brother Kid Edition.
06:20How does it feel to see your brother's house again?
06:24Of course, it's very nostalgic.
06:26Especially when I see my housemates entering the confession room.
06:30It's really one of the experiences in life
06:33that sometimes you get nervous and go to the confession room.
06:37And sometimes you go to the confession room and there's good news.
06:40So every time I hear my brother's voice, it's really memorable for me.
06:45The feeling comes back.
06:46Yes, yes.
06:47And you have an attachment to your brother's voice, right?
06:50Because you've been here.
06:51How long have you been doing this?
06:53I was 17.
06:56I was just 17.
06:57So young.
06:58What do you think is the secret to staying in your brother's house and being a big winner?
07:03I think the biggest secret for me is just really having fun,
07:07being grateful, being there, and showing your true self.
07:10Because when it comes across who you really are,
07:14all your ancestors will see that.
07:17Yes, yes. That's true.
07:18And that's why the winners are the winners.
07:21Yes.
07:22Who do they trust?
07:23We will continue to talk about the events there
07:26at the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab every night here at GMA.
07:30But Mertila, you can't not have a challenge this morning.
07:34Oh my gosh!
07:35Because your scenes are always trending on My Ilonggo Girl,
07:37by acting, we'll have a challenge.
07:38We'll play a few viral scenes.
07:40You'll just have to act, but this time, you'll be the star.
07:44There you go!
07:45Are you ready?
07:48Ready, ready.
07:49Okay, for our first scene, let's show this.
07:55Nom, nom!
07:55Come here!
07:57There are a lot of bats here, Nom!
07:59Are you going to eat it or not?
08:01I'm still full, crazy!
08:03Then don't!
08:05Oh, that's so cute!
08:07That's so cute!
08:09Are you ready?
08:10Oh my gosh!
08:11I'm always the villain.
08:13I'm always like this.
08:15If you're a good villain, just do the real thing.
08:19Lights, camera, action!
08:21Nom, nom, nom!
08:23Come here, let's eat!
08:25There are a lot of bats here, Nom!
08:27Come here, let's eat!
08:29Are you going to eat it or not?
08:31If you're not going to eat it, then don't.
08:33Oh, that's so cool!
08:35That's so cool!
08:37She's not angry.
08:39I can't imagine how angry Myrtle would be,
08:43except for her roles.
08:45Thank you so much, Myrtle.
