Rochelle Pangilinan shares intense BTS clips from ‘Pulang Araw’ comfort woman role
Rochelle Pangilinan gave her followers another glimpse of one of her intense scenes in “Pulang Araw."
On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared behind-the-scenes clips that showed her character Amalia getting taken by Japanese soldiers with the intent to sexually abuse her.
In another scene, Amalia can be seen asking for help from Sister Manuela played by Ashley Ortega.
“Isang pasilip sa behind the scenes ng Pulang Araw,” Rochelle said.
She also praised her co-actors who were a big help in making the scenes.
“Wala man akong kuha ng ibang kasama namin pero lahat magagaling, kagaya ng hapon na ito. Wala talagang maliit o malaking role, gumaganda talaga ang mga eksena kapag nagtutulungan,” she said.
In the comment section, fans couldn't help but praise Rochelle’s acting prowess.
“Ang galing nyo po. Naiiyak ako sa awa sa mga comfort women,” a netizen said.
“Napakahusay. Ramdam ko yung sakit,” another fan wrote.
Rochelle plays Amalia Dimalanta-Torres, the aunt of Adelina (Barbie Forteza) and Eduardo (Alden Richards), who becomes their primary guardian following the death of their mother. She was forced to become a comfort woman later on.
Her role in "Pulang Araw" has earned the former Sexbomb dancer a lot of praise from netizens. Previously, she received a DM from a supporter, applauding her role in the series.
Rochelle said in a previous interview that she takes two days to break away from her character.
"Pulang Araw" airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." It is also streaming on Netflix.
