Huwag Kang Mangamba stars Andrea Brillantes, Seth Fedelin, Francine Diaz, and Kyle Echarri are all grateful to ABS-CBN’s handling of their careers, despite the pandemic and the Network not having a franchise.
When asked how they feel being allowed to carry the show just right after Kadenang Ginto concluded, all gave similar answers.
Seth, who is relatively new to the show business industry, was nervous when Dreamscape Entertainment, a subsidiary television production company of ABS-CBN Corporation, gave him the role of Pio in Huwag Kang Mangamba.
“Ipapakita ko na hanggang ngayon na si Seth pa rin yung nakilala nila nung una, na nag grow ng dahil sa tulong nila lahat” he said in an online interview.
Dreamscape head Roldeo “Deo” Endrinal also made Kyle nervous when he was invited to appear on the program.
“Parang grabe because may tiwala talaga siya saamin.
“Nakakalabado kasi ang laki ng tiwala ng buong DreamScape sa aming apat.”
But no matter how much pressure he felt, he is confident that the four of them can deliver and impress Dreamscape.
“God put us in this position and I’m very excited for the future and sa lahat ng binibigay saamin ng DreamScape,” he said.
He also felt like Dreamscape has more confidence in his abilities than he has.
“May mga times na iniisip ko na bakit pa ako hindi tumigil.
“May mga times na hindi ako naniniwala sa sarili ko.” he added.
Francine, much like Seth, is still in her infancy in the industry, and couldn’t believe that the company chose her to play the role of Joy, the anti-hero in the show.
“Thankful ako. Baguhan lang ako dito tapos grabe na yung nabibigay sa akin na opportunity.”
A newbie, she can’t help but gain knowledge from her co-actors.
Andrea, on the other hand, said she has seen how ABS-CBN cares for its talents.
Projects were already lined up for them after the conclusion of Kadenang Ginto but the pandemic and ABS-CBN’s shutdown changed everything.
So for a moment, she thought that there was nothing to look forward to.
But to her surprise, ABS-CBN called and said that she, along with other stars, will be starring in the new show.
“Totoo talaga hindi pinapabayaan ng ABS-CBN and mga artists nila kahit sa nangyari.
“Nangamba ako pero andoon pa rin yung paniniwala ko sa ABS na matibay tayo, hindi tayo mapapabagsak at babangon tayo at babalik tayo stronger than ever.
“Hindi talaga nila kami pinabayaan. Iba talaga ang pagaalaga ng ABS sa artista nila.
“Sobrang grateful ako na sila ang nag-aalaga sa akin at proud na proud ako na sabihin na artista ako ng ABS.” she said.
ABS-CBN supporters are hopeful that a congressional franchise will be granted once a new President is sworn in next year.
