Pauline Mendoza extremely grateful for veteran co-stars' support in 'Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat'
Loyal viewers of GMA Afternoon Prime will soon see the brilliance of promising drama actress Pauline Mendoza as she takes on a huge role in Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat--her first lead role in a soap.
What's more, Pauline will be joined by some of the brightest stars in show business including versatile actress Carmina Villarroel, John Estrada and returning Kapuso, Tanya Garcia-Lapid.
Pauline who will play Iris in the drama will act alongside John and Tanya, who play her parents, Victor and Christine, respectively.
While Carmina will flex her acting chops as the scheming and greedy first wife of Victor named Dulce.
In a recent interview with the entertainment press, the young actress talked about being reunited with Carmina Villarroel, whom she had the pleasure of working with in the high-rating primetime series Kambal Karibal.
“Si Miss Carmina tama po kayo naka-work ko na siya sa Kambal Karibal, so very happy ako kasi naka-work ko siya uli this time sa show ng Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat.
“And mas lalo ko siyang nakilala, sa Kambal Karibal comfortable na kami sa isa't-isa, this time mas naging comfortable kami sa isa't-isa, so naging nanay ko siya in real life actually.”
Pauline also has kind words about John and Tanya and how they helped her throughout their lock-in taping in Batangas.
She recalled, “Kahit si Miss Tanya Garcia at si Kuya John [Estrada] nandiyan sila para to guide me talaga, very thankful talaga ako sa kanila, like, naramdaman ko talaga 'yung suportado nila ako,
“And kapag rest day namin madami silang kinukuwento sa akin, marami silang mga ibinibigay na advice, which is I'm thankful for that, kasi sa lock-in taping namin for one-month marami ako na-experience, marami rin naging challenges for me.”
The best part of doing Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat according to Pauline Mendoza is that the whole cast was able to build a strong bond on and off camera, which helped them in shooting their scenes, too.
“And siyempre first time ko po 'to [ be a lead actress] and hindi ko talaga ine-expect to be honest na mero'n ako makakasama sa show na 'to na magagaling na artista, mga veterans talaga.
“Hindi ko talaga ine-expect din na magiging close ko sila, as in 'yung bond namin naging sobrang strong kaya pagdating sa mga eksena, lalo na si Miss Carmina, kasi siya ang nang-api sa akin sa show na 'to, naging comfortable talaga ako, wala talagang alinlangan--wala-wala talaga.”
“Tulungan talaga 'yung nangyari, kaya 'yung mga eksena namin, ito pong project na 'to, itong magandang show na 'to ay natapos naming lahat na maganda.”
