- Kapuso comediennes revealed how laughter can be the best medicine.
- These comediennes stressed how they make others laugh also heal the audience.
Mirth is the currency for Kapuso comediennes Aiai delas Alas, Divine Tetay, Tekla and Kiray Celis in their industry of slapstick.
They are the ones relied on for people needing entertainment and time away from their personal troubles or even just to lighten up their moods.
What about their own happiness?
“Kahit malungkot kami, kaya naming magbigay ng happiness sa ibang tao… Struggle kasi akala nila na everytime na kapag nakikita nila kami feeling nila ang saya-saya namin palagi,” Celis disclosed.
“Nakakalimutan nila na may nararamdaman din ako. Hindi ko kayang ipakita iyong mga ganung moment,” she added.
And even though their circumstances may get hard, they must put on a brave face to continue the show.
In the face of misery, it is easier for Divine Tetay to recover from it due to the nature of his work.
“Because we need to put on a happy face. So eventually, it helps us heal faster and deal with whatever problems there is,” he explained.
“Ang sarap magpatawa at magperform,” said Tekla. He then referred their talents of making others laugh as a ‘real gift’.
