SILANG Yasmien Kurdi, Gabbi Garcia ug Bea Binene ang mga bidang astig nga babaye sa Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agents nga nahilambigit sa duguong operasyon sa drama-action primetime series nga “Beautiful Justice” nga usa sa mga rop-rated karon sa GMA-7. Niadtong Sabado napuno sa hudyaka ug kilig ang SM City Consolacion atol sa ilang “Kapuso Mall Show” kauban ang mga leading men nga Derrick Monasterio ug Gil Cuerva. “Beautiful Justice,” Ssssuper Ka!
Anong preparation n’yo sa action scenes?
GIL CUERVA: Ongoing. Nagti-training kami with Kuya Victor Neri sa firearms para mahasa kami at tsaka para magmukhang legit ang mga eksena. Palalim na ng palalim yung story at talagang titindi at magiging ma-aksyon na.
YASMIEN KURDI: Bago pa kami nag-training with Beautiful Justice madami kaming training sa self-defense at hanggang sa kaloob-looban ng baril kung paano paglagay, pagkasa, everything at kahit malaki pa yung tao, like, kaya naming pabagsakin through self-defense. Ganoon kaganda yung training namin until now with different kinds of weapons, shooting range, knife, lahat.
Doon sa eksena mo sa jail anong realization mo doon?
YASMIEN: Ang dami kong pasa grabe, hanggan ngayon, but it’s nice kasi ang galing-galing ni Ms. Gelli de Belen. Wala akong masabi. Ang angas niya at ang astig noong nagpa-fight kami wala siyang kiyeme. And the people like it yung sa jail scene namin na rambolan at yung mga girl fights na talagang bugbugan sa kulungan. I really like that episode.
Saang jail yun?
YASMIEN: We shot those scenes sa Tagaytay BJMP. Yung character ko as “Alice” is similar with those inmates na usually possession of illegal drugs ang kaso. Ang iba napagbintangan lang kaya sila din nakaka-relate. Nakita n’yo yung pinost ko about the painting na binili ko. Ang maganda naman sa project ng Tagaytay Jail is they sell their artworks and yung mga painting, tapos yung makakapagbili noon siya yung mag-e-sponsor for their bail. But hindi ibig sabihin na magpi-painting ka lang makakalaya ka na. No, it’s not like that. Siyempre pipilin nila kung sino ba ang worthy at puwede lang mag-bail. Magkano lang ang painting? P10,000 na hindi mabayaran ng mga tao doon dahil sa kahirapan. At lahat naman puwedeng magbagong buhay and deserves a second chance.
Did you audition for this project?
GABBI GARCIA: I was supposed to do Rosang Agimat (ang action-serye diin nadisgrasya si Eddie Garcia). I trained like for 3 months. Sayang naman if they would transfer me to a show na doesn’t involve action so they put me in a show na I could use all the trainings. But it’s not a back-up show, don’t get me wrong ha! It’s a show na mas maganda `cuz three girls will star in it where I played the character of “Brie” na independent at palaban din.
GIL: I also came from Rosang Agimat and I was even more excited kasi first time ko silang makasama lahat sa isang project. I had to cut my long hair `cuz it requires for my character as PDEA agent named “Vin”.
YASMIEN: Sa akin it was given to me kasi sabi nila sa akin you have to get out of your comfort zone na five years ka na lagi nasa hapon at laging ginagawa ang mother role at sabunotan. I’m happy with the ratings of my afternoon shows but I have to do something different just to make it interesting for me.
What’s the reaction of PDEA with the way they are being portrayed in the story?
GIL: The good thing is we have full collaboration with PDEA. There’s a PDEA agent on the set nagsu-supervise to make sure lahat ng gagawin namin it stays true to what actually happens in real life at doon talaga kami nagti-taping sa loob ng PDEA. Ganoon sila ka-supportive sa show.
What about your character?
DERRICK MONASTERIO: It’s an honor to play the role of “Lance,” also a PDEA agent, kasi hindi siya one-sided and one dimension, marami siyang acts, maraming secrets. Natutuwa rin ako kasi binabasa ko yung mga comments sa Twitter at litong-lito sila kung sino yung mole. Ang saya na nag-iisip sila kung sino talaga, ibig sabihin ganoon sila ka-engaged sa show. Nakakatuwa kasi ang gagaling ng mga kasama ko at first ko rin ka-work si Gabbi at si Ate Yasmien, actually silang lahat except si Bea (Binene) lang ang hindi.
GABBI: Ako din first ko kayong maka-work.
DERRICK: Natutuwa ako kasi gina-guide nila yung story at ang ganda ng working relationship namin lahat. Siyempre akala ko mga attitude sila, ganyan.
YASMIEN, GABBI, GIL: Wow, nag-assumed.
DERRICK: Akala lang naman. Yan nga yung maganda `e “akala.” Ibig sabihin hindi totoo. Ako pala yung may attitude. Hahaha...
YASMIEN: Ang maganda rin sa show namin kung napapanood n’yo ang ganda ng quality parang nanonood ka ng Netflix. Ganoon yung quality ng lense, kami yung unang gumamit ng ganoong lense, kami yung unang nag-unbox nung cameras. Ganoon siya kaganda at ka-high quality. Kahit minsan natatagalan kami sa isang scene hindi namin siya minamadali dahil ayaw namin ma-risk yung quality. Kahit napupuyat, kahit paulit-ulit yung fight scenes, okay lang gagawin namin para maganda yung kalabasan at entertainment value para mabigay talaga namin yung... “Beautiful Justice.”
