Christopher "Boyet" De Leon, graces television once again as he appears on ABS-CBN's primetime show May Bukas Pa. He was last seen in the 2008 teleserye Kahit Isang Saglit, which starred Jericho Rosales and Carmen Soo.
As he enters the world of May Bukas Pa, Boyet takes on the challenging
role of portraying an agnostic doctor. The Boyet's character's encounter with Santino will
surely bring about a big change in his beliefs.
Boyet describes the beliefs of his character by saying, "Naniniwala siya na mayroong Higher Being, pero hindi
siya nananampalataya at pinaniniwalaan lang niya yung science and medicine. Yun
yung nagustuhan ko dun sa role kaya ko sinunggaban. At the same time, yung
storya, nagkaroon ng plague yung Bagong
Pag-asa Town
and then parang he is out to save the world pero may kulang."
When asked on how his
scenes with Santino (Zaijian Jaranilla) went, Boyet shared, "Ay! Great kid. Such a wonderful kid. Very
intelligent, very nice. Pangalawang araw ko pa lang ‘to but I don't see any tantrums. Ang ayaw ko sa mga
child actors, yung kung magsalita pa-baby, pwera kay Santino. When he says his
lines, very well, diretso tsaka walang pa-baby. Tsaka ang lalalim ng mga
tagalong na kahit ako, magpo-pause muna ako bago ko sabihin yung mga lines, e,
he could say it. Hindi yung 'daddy daddy kailangan na tayong kumain [baby
voice].' He is very natural. He is such a good actor. He is blessed."
