JERRY OLEA
May comedy ang GL movie na I Fell, It’s Fine na bida sina Glaiza de Castro at Rhian Ramos, sa direksiyon ni Sigrid Andrea Bernardo.
“Talagang every shooting day, nagtatawanan talaga kami,” pagtatapat ni Glaiza sa mediacon noong Marso 5, 2026 sa Deer Claus, 11th Jamboree St., Quezon City.
“Minsan, nagpapatugtog pa si Direk Sigrid ng mga masasayang mga tugtugin para ma-hype ang lahat.
“Pero isa siguro sa mga memorable scenes ko with Rhian is yung mga intimate scenes namin.”
Singit ni Rhian, “Memorable talaga!”
Pagpapatuloy ni Glaiza, “Memorable talaga siya, e! She’s very delicate. Parang ganun, iyon yung na-feel ko.
“Tapos parang siyempre medyo awkward. Kasi hindi namin nagawa yon sa TV, di ba?
“First time natin itong nagawa na parang wala na kahit anong bawal pagdating sa eksena.
“Kapag sinabi ni Direk Sigrid na bawal, doon lang kami hihinto. Pero parang binigyan din niya kami ng blessing, ‘Sige lang! Mag-ano lang kayo, explore.’ Ganyan.
“So yun, tapos yung karaoke scene natin. Isa rin iyun sa mga pinaka-favorite scenes, memorable scenes ko. Kasi, lahat po kami, kasali doon.
“Parang all-star cast na eksena. Lahat, lasing.”
Umakting lang daw sila na lasing. Bawal daw kay Direk Sigrid ang alcohol sa set.
“Kaya lahat po kami ay talagang na-force na umarteng lasing!” natatawang pagsisiwalat ni Glaiza.

RASTRO TANDEM: FROM TELEVISION TO FILM
Nagbida ang RaStro (Ramos + Castro) sa teleseryeng The Rich Man’s Daughter na umere noong Mayo-Agosto 2015 sa Kapuso Network.
Magkasama rin sina Glaiza at Rhian sa Kapuso primetime series na Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre kung saan nag-eespadahan sila bilang Pirena at Mitena, respectively.
Pahayag ni Glaiza: “Nakatrabaho ko si Rhian from Stairway to Heaven [Setyembre-Disyembre 2009] and at the time, nag-aaway pa kami. Sabunutan kami, ganun.
“Iba yung dynamics namin at the time. And then, I was able to work with her… fast forward to 2015, yung The Rich Man’s Daughter.
“Nung time na yun, medyo nag-iba uli iyung dynamics. Kasi, very sensitive yung subject na iyon nung time na yun.
“But kung anuman yung ikinaka-proud ko doon was we were able to give voice to people, women who can’t speak up.
“Kasi after that, andami kong mga natanggap na emails, mga letters, from a lot of people who were afraid to come out.
“And natatakot sila sa kung ano yung sasabihin ng mga tao sa paligid nila. Anong magiging perception sa kanila ng pamilya nila.
“But I think nung time na yun, when we did The Rich Man’s Daughter, bilang mga actors, isa yun sa pinaka-rewarding na pakiramdam.
“Na we were able to touch. And, kumbaga, parang empower women, or people, or the audience.
“So, ayun yung isa sa mga bagay na katulad ni Direk Sigrid, di ba, kung ano yung bagay na nagpapabangon sa kanya, bilang mga aktor, ito yung nagpu-fuel sa amin.
“Siyempre, masarap makatanggap ng mga awards. Pero kapag nanggaling sa mismong nanood yung mensahe na, ‘Maraming salamat na binigyan niyo kami ng boses’…
“Napakasarap sa pakiramdam. So I think, proud ako sa amin ni Rhian na we were able to pull that. That topic, and that project.
“And here, iba naman yung atake namin this time. But ngayon, parang bigger screen, di ba? Bigger platform.
“Malaki na yung screen namin ngayon. Andami nang puwedeng puntahan.
“And hindi lang sa Pilipinas, e. We were able to reach people from outside the Philippines.
“So, doon pa lang, napa-proud na ako.”

Susog ni Rhian Ramos: “I agree. True. Well yeah, definitely, that’s what made me proud also so many years ago.
“Na parang there was really a lack of representation, I think. And I think when you work in media, it’s kinda our responsibility din to lead the way and tell people what is normal.
“I mean, kasi ano, e… ako, ha, when I feel sad or misunderstood or something, it always makes me feel better to listen to a piece of Art, or watch.
“Either listen to music or watch a movie, and all of a sucden, when there’s a story being told, I feel ‘seen.’
“And I feel like I’m not so weird pala, I’m not so different from other people. And I think that was the biggest gift of The Rich Man’s Daughter.
“When I can say I’m proud of with Glaiza naman is we’ve known each other, we’ve worked together over such a long period of time.
“That I’ve seen so many of her eras also. Na parang everytime we do a different project, there’s a different person in a good way!
“In a good way! That just means we’re growing.
“Pero alam mo yun, like now, I think that the Glaiza I met this time, and also I hope that the Rhian that you met this time is a new person also, like the person that you are, it makes me proud of you.
“The person that you’ve become. And how much responsibility you take on for something that you believe in, and your job.
“So that’s what I’m proud of, the fact that I can say na through the years, we’ve somehow grown together.”

GORGY RULA
Gaano ka-intimate yung intimate scenes nina Glaiza de Castro at Rhian Ramos sa I Fell, It’s Fine? Paano nila pinaghandaan?
Iyon bang ibinigay nila sa eksena ay higit pa sa hiningi ni Direk Sigrid Andrea Bernardo? Kumusta sila matapos kunan ang mga eksenang iyon?
Sabi ng RaStro, nag-toothbrush muna sila bago gawin ang intimate scenes. Si Rhian, nag-gargle pa, at nag-rose spray.
Say pa ni Rhian kay Glaiza, “Paano ba? Pinag-usapan ba natin? Do you remember, pinag-usapan natin before yun?”
Sagot ni Glaiza, “More technical lang siguro po. In terms of yung mga blocking. Siyempre may mga camera na kailangan i-consider, yung ilaw, yung angle. Ganyan.
“So, more technical. And then si Direk Sigrid naman, parang very clear naman about kung ano yung nae-envision niya para sa amin.
“Nag-pop lang sa utak ko, parang meron lang parang… pa-exit kayo. Yung parang meron tayong ginawa na specific movement. Wow!
“Meron kaming nagawa, may specific movement kami. Parang kinailangan ko na i-check kung may amoy ba ako, mabango ba ako, presentable ba ako.”
Singit ni Rhian, “That’s respect, di ba? Respect.”
Sambot ni Glaiza, “Para mas pleasing ang eksena. Pero may isang eksena rin kami doon sa intimate scene na tawa lang nang tawa, di ba? Meron tayong ganun.
“Siguro natawa kami sa sarili namin, kinikilig kami sa mga scenes ng isa’t isa, ganun. Kasi parang it’s very new to me din especially on screen.
“Ang masasabi ko lang, komportable ako kay Rhian. And I’m just so glad na siya yung kaeksena.”
Napangiting sambit ni Rhian, “I can attest na ambango ni Glaiza!”
