ZEPHANIE ON TAKING ON MORE ACTING PROJECTS: 'NATUTUTUNAN KO NANG MAHALIN ‘YUNG PAG-ARTE'

Zephanie is known for her powerful vocals, having made a name for herself as one of the country's most promising singers.

Recently, Zephanie has ventured into the world of acting, and is set to star in the upcoming GMA Public Affairs weekly teen-oriented show "Maka."

"Siguro po natututunan ko na pong mahalin ‘yung pag-arte kahit na before isa po siya sa greatest fear ko kasi mahiyain talaga ako noong bata," she told press in a media conference on Tuesday.

She said that after all of her life experiences, as well as the encouragement from people she "values the most," her passion for art in general was given a boost.

Additionally, she said acting has always been part of performing.

"I know with singing po, andon pa rin po ang pag-arte kasi you have to sing with emotions and ‘di naman lahat ng kanta nakaka-relate ako pero dahil po it’s art, part po ‘yun ng pag-arte," she said.

"Feeling ko po ever since nandoon na po siya sa heart ko and mas nag-fire up po siya noong talagang napasabak po ako sa pag-arte," she added. "And lahat po ng nakatrabaho ko ever since, mayroon po silang na-impart sa akin na kung bakit mas napapamahal po ako sa pag-arte. Andon pa rin po ‘yung pagkanta, mahal ko pa rin ‘yung pagkanta, pero ngayon pareho na."

"Maka" is set to premiere on September 21.

Aside from Zephanie, the cast includes Lapillus member Chanty, Sparkle teen stars Marco Masa, Ashley Sarmiento, Dylan Menor, John Clifford, Olive May, Sean Lucas, and "Bangus Girl" May Ann Basa, and award-winning actor Romnick Sarmenta.

Zephanie recently appeared in "Pulang Araw" as Chichay, one of the chorus girls of Queen of Bodabil Katy Dela Cruz, who was played by Julie Anne San Jose.

She is also the voice behind the "Aking Hiling," the Tagalog version of the song "The Wish" from the official soundtrack of the Disney animated musical fantasy film "Wish." —with reports from Jade Veronique Yap/JCB, GMA Integrated News
