It is now
Sunshine Dizon's turn to grace GMA-7's drama anthology, Obra, for the entire month of October.
Following the lead of Katrina Halili and JC de Vera, Sunshine will exhibit her acting skills through four special episodes directed by Joel Lamangan, Maryo J. delos Reyes, Toppel Lee and Jun Lana.
Given Sunshine's caliber when it comes to acting and carrying out roles, GMA-7
made a conscious decision to hand the young actress projects that are
considered more challenging compared to the past Obra episodes.
"Actually, they [GMA-7 management] really made sure that the stories that will
be given to me is sana daw ma-challenge ako, which is very challenging naman,"
shared Sunshine.
During the press conference held at the Imperial Palace
Suites in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, last October 3, Sunshine gave us an idea
on the roles that she will portray.
TELEVISION COMEBACK. "The first story that
I'm doing is "Drama Queen" this will be directed by Direk Maryo J. Ano
siya parang sikat siya na artista ng ‘70s and ‘80s tapos nalaos tumanda tapos
magpa-flash forward to the present tapos naka-prosthetics ganyan. ‘Yong second
naman is "Butch" directed by Joel Lamangan. Meron siyang girlfriend na
may anak [then] iniwan sa kanya ‘yong bata tapos siya yong nag-alaga tapos
eventually kukunin ‘yong anak sa kanya," explained Sunshine.
"Rosa
Negra," on the other hand, tells the story of a negrita in dire need of
kindness. Sunshine's character will fall in love with a good-looking guy who
would eventually break her heart in the end.
In time for the Halloween
season, Sunshine's farewell episode for the month of October will be "Sapi"
where she will assume the role of a woman possessed by an evil spirit. Her
character is supposed to be on vacation with her husband but it turns out that they become victims of supernatural elements.
Obra
will serve as Sunshine's comeback vehicle after taking a break brought about by
health issues. The brief layoff ultimately gave the dramatic actress enough
time to regain her strength and rejuvenate her passion for acting.
"There are things in our life that happens na hindi mo ma-explain pero ‘yon
talaga ang gusto ng Diyos. Siguro gusto din ni Lord na magpahinga ako saglit
and now I'm back," Sunshine positively offered.
Obra Presents Sunshine Dizon will begin tonight, October 9, after GMA Telebabad.
